Yeah I thought that was the case but after reading on CMS website some states have different 2ndary requirements so it actually possible that hers did not cover it. But it is still worth checking the explanation of benefits. As long as the time to file has not lapsed.. If thats the case id demand a refund from the provider as its their fault they didnt bill it in time if it was a covered expense.

Thanks Tnspurs, but I did go to bed for a few hours and just got up to check on it and the chick did not make it. 
I have two more that I am going to put in lock down later this morning. 

Awwww. Poor chickie.

My daughter is working her way north through some of the 800 year old Siam empire cities and temples. She stumbled into another Chinese new year festival yesterday. She said she still can't figure out how to say 'thank you' in Thai even with much tutelage. Dinner last night was delicious, cost under $1, said she was stuffed, took leftovers home - she also said she has no idea what she ate. She's been travelling by train and bus and now has a nice garden bungalow with AC for $9. She could have had a fan room for $5 but with tomorrow supposed to be 98 and long days hiking/biking she thought she would splurge. She's been getting around locally by bicycle but she said she'll probably rent a motorcycle soon.
If anyone is interested, after Bangkok she went to Ayutthaya, Thailand and she's now in Sukhothai.
She's been able to call and text via wi-fi at her accommodations. I can even call her St. Louis cell # and reach her without charges (I hope). I'm a tech guy but still can't figure out how that works.

Thank you is kob kun but normally you add gender so kob kun krab for a man and kob kun kaa for a woman.

My thai is limited to hello and thank you. Its a tough language for me to get my ear around.

You are better off using viber or skype for calls. You may have a nasty surprise with her phone number directly.

I think I'm heading to my Boost mobile store now to check. She couldn't remember her Skype log-in and I'm not set up for Skype.

Thank you for the thank you. If she starts there, she should be able to get her tongue around it soon enough.

I was good with European languages and thought I would learn Russian. I gave up after the alphabet.

Quote: Alot of Westerners don't hear all of the tones in Thai, like alot of them don't hear the differance between the 'L' sound and the 'R' sound. I didn't hear the different tones and could never speak it properly, let alone understand half of what was said to me

It was a big pain in the *ss!

LOL I'm the same way - I don't mind domestic travel, and I've been to Canada several times (grew up in upstate NY) but that's about where my courage ends

you're more adventurous that me. I have only been to the Midwest, northeast and south.

I'm a home body and scaredy cat when it comes to travel.
