Oh, fantastic! It's been a whopping 6 months since my doc ordered the power wheelchair I desperately need for my ALS. But hey, no rush, right? @PreferredHomecare (my oh-so-helpful vendor for Cigna/Medicare in AZ) is apparently too busy twiddling their thumbs to get it done. Paperwork? Submitted ages ago. Their excuse? "Oh, we only have ONE person handling ALL Medicare approvals." How efficient! When Cigna finally poked them, they dragged their feet some more, insisting a tech had to verify if the Permobil is "needed." Spoiler: They denied it anyway, pushing some cheap Sunrise chair that—even their own tech admits—will have the exact same jerky, unsafe issues as my current Quantum. Because nothing says "patient care" like forcing dangerous equipment on someone who can't afford mistakes. This isn't just "delays"—it's a DME company treating ALS patients like we're optional. No denial in writing, so I can't even appeal. Brilliant system! Cigna case ID ready in DMs if @Cigna or @CMSGov feels like investigating why Preferred Homecare is blocking medically necessary gear. Patients in AZ: Dealing with similar BS from Preferred/AdaptHealth? Spill in replies or DM.

















I am the 3rd person in the world to receive the @Neuralink brain implant. 1st with ALS. 1st Nonverbal. I am typing this with my brain. It is my primary communication. Ask me anything! I will answer at least all verified users! Thank you @elonmusk!


HB348 (2024) led to a study on how precious metals boost Utah's economic security: treasurer.utah.gov/gold. HB306 (2025) calls for a gold-backed e-payment system so state vendors can get paid in gold. Utah is taking steps to revive gold as money. Watch: youtu.be/6pcfK7GRHmg
