Buying a car is bullshit

I am very seriously trying to buy a new (to me) car.

I need a bigger car to fit crates in since that will allow me to transport more dogs for boarding. I have opted to go the used route for a number of reasons.

After much research, input from some super helpful dogblr folks as well as coworkers, and some dragging my feet - I'm ready. I'm looking to buy a 2018 Toyota RAV4 XLE.

I found one being sold at a fair price given the low mileage and went to see it last Saturday. It was a trade in at a BMW dealership. When they brought it out I was a little taken back because it's pretty dinged up. Not to the point of hindering functionally but there are dents and scrapes on every panel and fixing it would $1000 in body work easily, if not more.

Honestly, I don't give a shit about cosmetics. This car is for hauling dogs around. But it would be silly to pretend it doesn't change the value of the car.

I noticed that the front tires were different from the rear tires and asked about it. Sales dude tells me they replaced the front ones because the originals were dry rotted. I asked if the mechanic measured the new vs the old because AWD can be sensitive and different widths can fuck it up. Sales dude tells yes, it's all on paper. Cool.

I take it for a test drive and notice the brakes are a little rough. I ask if the brake pads were inspected to see how worn they are. Sales dude assures me yes, the car passed inspection and they're fine. Am told, again, it's all on paper.

Once we're back at the dealership I ask him to please get me the info on the tires and brakes cause I'm ready to make a deal and buy the car. Sales dude asks for my price and I tell him my offer is contingent on the information so please get it. Guy comes back with a manager and oops, they don't actually have that info.

Which honestly really pissed me off. You lied to my face and what? Didn't think you'd get caught not having the very specific information I'm asking for? I don't know why I expected slightly less car sales bullshit from a higher end dealership but the jokes on me.

I leave with the agreement that on Monday (today) they'll have the mechanic get the info and call me promptly at X time. An hour and a half later, I ended up leaving them a voicemail.

Finally got on the phone with them, tires are fine but the brake pads are just this side of passing and I'll need to change them fairly quickly. Fine. Given the body work and brakes, not to mention all the fluid changes I'll need to do, I put in my offer - a little less than $1000 off listed price. This puts the car at just my side of a good deal rather than fair, but honestly not by much.

They eventually accept my offer. Awesome. I am ready to pay over the phone. No. They won't take the payment over the phone or even a deposit. I have to come buy it in person.

In an ideal world, I'd go Thursday morning and get it done before work since that's my late day. But I'm concerned about the time wasting tactics dealerships use to try to get people to "upgrade" packages. I am trialing Friday and Saturday.

That leaves my only actual day with time to spare next Monday. During the in between they will not hold the car for me or pull it from their listings.

It so fucking frustrating that a high end, fancy ass BMW dealership is giving me the run around for a busted up six year old Toyota that I am willing to pay for right now!

So, fingers crossed it's still there next week and I'm able to buy it. If not, oh well I guess. There's really not anything else I can do at this point. It's just annoying because if they had the information they said they did I'd have bought the car right then.

Anyway, let this be your reminder to not take car sales folks word for anything and make them show you on paper. They will lie right to your face and blame you for holding up the sale.

cog in what machine

So since the VR games industry is the agglomeration of technocapital that’s currently permitting me to ‘continue to exist’, I am wondering - where are these headsets actually made?

Honestly the chances of getting a conclusive answer beyond ‘probably Shenzhen or TSMC’ is pretty low, but surprisingly I did find an article that claims to have taken it apart and found out where various parts come from. Here’s a breakdown by the price of the parts:

And the final assembly is done (for the Quest Pro at least) at the Foxconn factory in Taiwan. [For some context, the Quest 2 is a standalone headset with mobile phone chips, and it became one of the best-selling headsets ever, while the more expensive Quest Pro proved unpopular, and will likely be completely obsoleted when the Quest 3 comes out.]

Of course, that’s just one layer down the tree. Where the raw materials come from is anyone’s guess - you’d have to do some serious journalism to track it all down. Just like in computer software we create abstractions and interfaces over the ‘lower level’ components, in economics, each company in the chain only wants to know where it can get the materials and labour it needs, and at what price.

This whole process is so opaque. By making software for this machine, I’m in a sense put into a relationship with people all over the world whose fates are also tied to this industry. Even within the company I work for there are people from multiple continents, and we can all fit in one virtual room. I have little to no idea what it’s like to work on the other side of the chain. Back in 2018, I read a translation (by Chuang) of a satirical Marxist pamphlet distributed among Foxconn workers, with a bunch of pictures. It’s not some lurid dystopia, we all play the same games, but it doesn’t look like a kind of work I could manage.

It is startling how big the divide is between ‘people who work in tech’ and ‘people who work in any other industry’ in terms of pay, work conditions, etc. I can work the crazy hours my adhd-addled brain comes online, as long as the work gets done; the work itself is varied and interesting and creative. These guys have to go to work at 7am and work all day on a monotonous assembly line task. And similarly, some other poor fucker has to go down a mine to get the rare earth minerals needed to make high performance capacitors and all that. The only difference between me and them is that I was born here and they were born there. We both ‘work in VR’, for similar reasons on the high level of abstraction: we need to eat, and we think we’ll have a better life if we work in this industry than some other. But the context of that choice and the capacity in which we work could hardly be different.

All of that is hidden. You see a white plastic shell, a logo, a cute little chime, a fantasy environment. But even if I knew the names and faces of everyone whose hands touched this thing before mine, what good would it do?

I don’t know what role tech workers have in changing all this. “Meta” (formerly Facebook) is the centre of this particular web, but if Meta were to go bust, someone else would pick up where they left off. Back in the day, when industries were less diluted across the world, a strike could be organised in person across a shop floor and shut down a whole industry. Imagine if this company - all ten people! - all decided to go on strike for some end (say, solidarity with a strike in China or something)... well, Meta would have less games for their platform but it would hurt us a lot more than it would hurt them. We’re all separated by physical distance, political borders, languages.

I think maybe it’s worth reciting the story of the current age of VR. This guy Palmer Luckley made a company to turn this extravagantly expensive sci-fi technology into consumer hardware like a games console. It’s not the first time someone tried (c.f. Virtual Boy) but this time the tech was just about good enough and there was a lot more money to throw at wacky ideas like that, so it proved to have legs, and other companies got in on the game, and now it’s a category of desirable technological object you can own, like a smartphone or gaming PC.

Anyway, the story goes, his company got bought by Facebook, who were fantasising about a vaguely-defined ‘metaverse’ which will be like Second Life but better, or maybe an omnipresent AR layer over reality, or who the fuck knows what else - but in practice mostly just ended up becoming a games console manufacturer so they could operate the kind of platform capitalism that e.g. Apple and Google do with smartphones. Luckley got fired; now the fascist cunt works in ‘defense’ and ‘border security’, manufacturing cameras and drones and shit to stop people entering the US. He made a VR headset that kills you as a bit. So funny. (He’s doing his best to make sure people actually do die on the border. But haha, it’s just like in my Sword Art Onlines!)

I don’t think ‘arm of the military-industrial complex’ the general character of the VR games industry as a whole. Or rather, it is to about the same extent as videogames in general. And I don’t think the technology we enjoy must come at the [social, environmental] price ‘we’ currently pay for it. Computer tech in a less distorted world would probably look very different, but I don’t think ‘making a rock do maths really fast’ inherently implies the rest of the structure that gave birth to it. I think the joy that I get from spending my days making art on the computer is something that most people should have the option to enjoy as well. But goddamn do I not see a way to get to that hypothetical better world from here :/

In the meantime, this is the survival strategy. I think the direct harm is about as little as can be gotten away with: most of these things are beyond my power to affect whether or not I work in VR games. But it does give me pause to think about it all. :|

The increasing migration of the rural population to cities, especially across developing countries such as India, China, Brazil, Mexico, and Indonesia, has boosted the adoption of low- or medium-price earphones & headphones. Europe will however remain the leading market for earphone and headphone in the near future, according to FMI’s findings.

In the past decade, there was an upsurge in urbanisation, which resulted in an increase in the disposable income of the population that migrated to urban areas. Growth in the disposable income of the people has boosted the adoption of technologically advanced products worldwide, which include smart devices, smartphones, tablets, and advanced wireless earphones. This trend has been majorly observed in developing countries, such as India, China, Brazil, Mexico, and Indonesia. This has resulted in an increase in the adoption of earphones and headphones in these countries.

Strengthening the distribution channel and expanding advertising platforms for earphones and headphones is also contributing to the development of the global market for earphones and headphones. The music industry as a whole is estimated to contribute to the growing GDP and per capita revenue of various nations. Thus, continuous growth in the music industry and the music streaming market is boosting the adoption of accessories for music systems, which include earphones, headphones, and intelligent speakers.

Companies Shifting Focal Point to Multi-Brand Distribution & E-commerce

A significant number of companies in the earphone and headphone market depend mainly upon powerful sales channels, such as multi-brand distributors and the retailers of headphones & earphones, to be able to offer better customer service and achieve a competitive edge in the earphone and headphone industry. In addition to partnerships with distributors, the providers of earphones and headphones collaborate with numerous E-commerce companies, such as Alibaba and Amazon, due to the growing E-commerce industry, especially in nations such as the U.S., China, Brazil, and India.

We recently bought a new (used) car, and based on how much we hate the touchscreen in our 2018 minivan, no touch screen was our #1 requirement.

We were looking at small sedans in the lower price range, but with under 20k miles on them (which means almost all will be no more than like 3 years old tops).

Our options for cars that did NOT either come standard with a touchscreen or have it as an option that pretty much 100% of new buyers got bc apparently people who buy cars new just check yes on all the low-level options were:

Honda Civic LX (lowest trim option), 2021 or older

That’s it, that’s the only one unless you go back to 2018

So anyhow we got a 2020 Civic LX and I have no idea what will happen in a decade when we need a new car again and there are zero options without a touch screen.

(Bonus: The non-touch screen can handle the Chinese characters in my song titles that the touch screen can’t display, plus plugging my phone in to play music is way faster than waiting for the touch screen to come on, then Bluetooth to activate.)

another car opinion is that they shouldn't have touch screens

On my TikTok FYP are endless numbersof joyful young Trump voters looking forward to being able to buy a house…

When I pointed out that billionaires didn’t support Trump because they thought he was going to reduce prices set by billionaires the happy Trumpers switch to the coming blessings of ‘trickle down economics’.

From the article:

As a phone bank volunteer, I hoped to counter the Republican attacks and half-truths, but people really believed them

Average voters

The first type of voter I encountered as a volunteer on the Harris phone bank was the one focused purely on the economy. It is hard for us to grasp on this side of the Atlantic that soaring growth rates and low unemployment in the US would not be seen positively in the eyes of an American voter. But it was clear in my conversations that the Trump campaign was extremely effective at countering that story. Wages may well be rising at all levels, but everyday inflation was more discernible to voters.

Businesses

Very often, I spoke to small business owners who would talk about the price of gas or bread, rendering any attempted explanation of global pressures responsible for that ineffective at best, and at worst condescending. Often, they would also tell me that everyone they knew was doing badly, even if they were just fine themselves

Anti-Communists

Multiple times, I was told that Harris was a “communist”, “clueless” and that she had “thrown black men in jail for carrying one blunt”. One Latin American voter told me at length that she had “seen it all before in South America”

Don’t ask me to Google

…many voters said they didn’t know who Harris was or what she stood for. It is said that an open primary process would have given Harris the chance to separate herself from Biden, but not a single person I spoke to suggested that they would have preferred a different candidate.

Not ready for a female POTUS

But gender did play a role. Time and again, voters, very often women themselves, told me that they just didn’t think that “America is ready for a female president”. People said they couldn’t “see her in the chair” and asked if I “really thought a woman could run the country”. One person memorably told me that she couldn’t vote for Harris because “you don’t see women building skyscrapers”. Sometimes, these people would be persuaded, but more often than not it was a red line. Many conversations would start with positive discussions on policy and then end on Harris and her gender. That is an extraordinary and uncomfortable truth

Trump Presence

I think the main reason that Harris and Walz lost this campaign is simple: Trump. Ultimately, he was simply too much of a pull again. Despite the gaffes, despite his views on women, despite his distaste for democracy and despite an insurrection, voters just didn’t care.

=====================================

USA! USA! USA! Land of the Fleeced because Home of the Naive.

The British journalist’s experience mirrors my wife’s in 2020 phoning Texans to convince them to vote for Beto O’Rourke. Mirrors my experience in 2018 walking our precinct to talk with Democrats explaining what an off-year election was and how the whole House of Reps was in play.

Seeing no light bulbs go on.

We’ve voted against a MAGA kleptocracy at best/theocratic fascism at worst.

I have no Liberal tears to shed for this who voted for what is coming.

$65000 a year is not quite middle class.

It is by no means “rich”.

Most people making $65k a year are living paycheck to paycheck. They cannot afford to buy a house. They cannot afford childcare. Since most jobs that pay $65k a year require some form of secondary education, chances are they have pretty substantial student loan debt.

$65000 in 2024 is the equivalent of, funnily enough, about $17000 in 1980.

A person making $65k a year is likely taking home about $950 a week after taxes/insurance.

Average rent for a one bedroom apartment in the US is currently $1563 a month - let’s say this hypothetical person lives in a part of the country that is somewhere in the middle, between low cost of living and high cost of living, so let’s adjust that down a skosh to, say, $1450 a month.

$950 x 4 = $3800 per month - let’s say $4000 for easier math and to account for months with 5 paychecks, rather than four. That makes the average one bedroom apartment about 36% of your income.

Now let’s get some groceries - average grocery cost per person is $240 to $425 a month. Let’s make that $300, for easy math. We’re down to $2250, now, by the way.

Let’s go ahead and get some utilities for that apartment, shall we? Let’s estimate $150 for electric, $50 for basic internet, and $100 for a cell phone. Down to $1950.

Now we have to talk about transportation. Most of the US realistically requires a car, and most people buy cars on credit, so let’s say our hypothetical person has decent credit and bought an economical used car - let’s go with a five year old Toyota Corolla, with a little under 100k miles. According to auto trader, with decent credit and a $500 down payment, that 2018 Corolla will cost $371 a month - for easy math, let’s call that $350.

But cars require insurance - and since it’s financed, that means full coverage. Let’s assume our hypothetical person is a pretty safe driver, so their insurance is $150 a month. They also need fuel - average price of gas in the US is $3.25 a gallon. That Corolla has a 12 gallon tank, and gets good gas mileage - chances are our hypothetical person can get by with a full tank every two weeks, which works out to about $80 a month. That car will be pretty reliable, as long as you maintain it - let’s set aside $20 a month for things like oil changes and tires and windshield wiper blades and air filters and brakes. We’re down to $1350.

Okay, so we have a roof, a vehicle, food, phone, and internet. Let’s go ahead and start accounting for things like clothes, shoes, dishes/furniture, the kind of thing that you don’t necessarily buy every month but do require periodic replacement. Let’s set aside $200 a month for these kinds of expenses.

Chances are that one bedroom apartment doesn’t have a washer and dryer, so we need to account for laundry - let’s say $50 a month, or roughly $10 a week, plus a little extra to give us some cushion when the only machines open are the little ones, and the dryers are busted and take three rounds.

Our hypothetical person is trying to stay healthy, so they also have a gym membership - $50 a month will get you access to the Y, which is pretty sweet. Down to $1050 now. They probably also want some kind of entertainment, so let’s give ‘em a Netflix account and a little bit of DoorDash money - let’s go with $150 a month, which lets them eat out once a week and watch some TV.

$900 to go.

The average monthly student loan payment is $500.

Oof, that doesn’t leave a lot of wiggle room. Now that remaining $400 a month has to cover things like….doctor’s appointments, prescriptions, personal hygiene, and savings.

What that means is that someone making $65k a year is one emergency away from serious financial struggle. It means they have their needs met pretty consistently, but can’t afford to save for a house or a vacation, can’t afford to have children, can’t afford a wedding, can’t afford a serious illness. They are definitely not rich.

If you make $17000 a year, you deserve to make more money. Period. But that money shouldn’t come from the people making $65000 a year - it should come from the people making $2 million an hour.

Jingdong’s ministers

JD.com has undergone several organizational structure adjustments and personnel changes over the years. Looking back at the organizational and personnel adjustments over the HE Tuber years, what kind of context can we sort out? Let’s take a look at the sharing of this article.

When Xin Lijun stood on the stage, he most likely already knew that he would step down as CEO of JD.com Retail in four days.

It was Double 11 that day. In accordance with the company's established strategy, Xin Lijun talked about JD.com's low prices and mentioned the "JD.com Procurement and Sales" live broadcast room that was out of the circle. Wearing a red vest with JD.com’s purchasing and sales logo printed on it,

 he recalled that he used to be a purchasing and salesman. 

He originally spoke in a calm tone, and there was no change in tone in his speech that day. Sitting in the back row of the venue, sometimes he didn't hear it very clearly.

In the past, JD.com has made several major organizational structure changes in an attempt to deconstruct the "purchasing and sales" function and separate purchasing and sales. However, this Double 11, JD.com’s biggest highlight comes precisely from the live broadcast room named after “Purchasing and Sales”.

This is not surprising either. At one time, JD.com’s most sought-after roles were the purchasing and sales leaders of different categories. They were in charge of business units such as home appliances, 3C, and FMCG. They were the most important senior management members of JD.com and contributed most of the company’s revenue sources. An important force in implementing JD.com’s low-price strategy. Let’s call these people “ministers” of JD.com.

Xin Lijun was once a "minister", and he is also the one with the highest rank jump among all ministers.

Most of these ministers have a close relationship with Liu Qiangdong himself.

 For JD.com, which started out as a B2C model, procurement and sales are its lifeblood. They are responsible for handling the supply chain. They follow Liu Qiangdong to conquer the world and have made military exploits for the company. In July 2018, before Xu Lei was appointed as the rotating CEO of JD.com, many ministers reported directly to Liu Qiangdong himself.

You can also understand that these people were "powerful" at the time.

When JD.com was fighting against Gome and Suning, Yan Xiaobing, who was in charge of the home appliances division at the time, dared to speak openly, provoke his opponents, and predict the market structure. Nowadays, few ministers dare to stand out like this. Not long ago, Tuhu went on the market, and Miu Qin, the head of JD.com’s automotive division, launched the “Tiger price shock” in WeChat Moments. This phenomenon is extremely rare now.

When Wang Xiaosong took charge of the 3C division, it was an era when smartphones were in full bloom and advancing rapidly.

 It was normal for him and big bosses in the mobile phone industry such as Yu Chengdong, Lei Jun, and Luo Yonghao to eat and chat. To a certain extent, he would influence the pricing of new products, and even influence the price of new products. The fate of this product, because no one dared to ignore his advice.

The two’s confidence comes from their channel influence, and 3C and home appliances are JD.com’s strong positions. Not every minister is treated like this.

When Xin Lijun was a minister, he had bad luck. In 2015, he was in charge of JD.com’s Home Furnishings Division, which was the time when rivals were at their most intense. Uniqlo entered JD.com on the front foot, but was removed from the shelves on the back foot. A grown man with a background in 3C purchasing and sales, working for a fashion brand all day long is under unprecedented pressure.

Later, these ministers had different fates during successive organizational structure adjustments and personnel changes.

Sometimes it's the company's definition of where they collectively find themselves that has changed, sometimes it's new demands being placed on individuals, or their mission has been accomplished.

Therefore, some of them left, some took turns, and some left and came back. Others are waiting for their new whereabouts to be announced.

1. Ups and downs

Since JD.com implemented its business division in 2015, the ministers experienced an important turning point in 2018, and the fate of many people was decided at that time.

In 2018, there were two major adjustments at the beginning and end of the year, and the actions were intense. The watershed was due to the changes in front-end decision-makers caused by the Minnesota incident, and Xu Lei, a CMO, became the rotating CEO of JD Mall (later changed to JD Retail) in the middle of this year.

In January 2018, Liu Qiangdong personally led an organizational structure change - merging business departments and setting up business groups. Three ministers, Wang Xiaosong, Yan Xiaobing and Hu Shengli, were promoted to "group leaders" - business group presidents, reporting directly to Liu Qiangdong.

It doesn’t make much sense to talk about the specific categories they are each responsible for now. What I want to point out is that on the surface, this adjustment is a further expansion of the minister’s power, especially the business group under Yan Xiaobing’s command, where commodity revenue accounts for more than 60%. In fact, Liu Qiangdong was solving problems centered on procurement and sales at that time. The focus of procurement and sales should be "sales" to users/customers.

This state lasted for a year. During the organizational structure adjustment that Xu Lei participated in the design at the end of 2018, the positioning of procurement and sales in JD.com’s retail industry underwent a major change, which continues to this day.

Five months after Xu Lei took office, he began to implement the "front, middle and back" platform model on JD.com, and defined the three major business groups of "3C electronics and consumer goods, fashion home platform and life services" the middle platform, responsible for They are Yan Xiaobing, Hu Shengli and Xin Lijun. Wang Xiaosong’s fresh food consumption is placed at the front desk, and he is only responsible for the fresh food business department and 7Fresh.

In his speech at the annual meeting that year, Xu Lei emphasized the importance of the Central Platform, naming "Brother Bing, Lao Hu and Lao Xin will lead this system...the Central Platform will be the never-ending super engine of Jingdong Mall!... It is A must-win battle led by me!

Sorry for making you think about insurance on tumblr but could you explain what to do about being told your insurance is out of network? It seems like there isn’t anywhere in network every time I go to the doctor

No worries Hon I deal with them everyday. I literally just sent in an appeal today requesting it be reprocessed by someone who can read. Just a quick run down on what networks are. "Networks" are just contracts doctors/facilities sign with insurance companies to agree on how much services cost. For example (gonna use dental codes because that's what I'm most familiar with) a porcelain crown (D2740) is $669.00 under Delta Dental's PPO fee schedule but that same code is $713.00 on Guardian's PPO fee schedule. Bear in mind insurance companies determine most costs based on a number of factors in a specific zip code (that areas average income level, population density, average cost of claims in that area over the years, etc). Now these fees may sound like a lot but when you consider how much it costs the doctor to do the crown, they're lucky if they break even. Even before COVID, network fees were so low it was not unusual to lose money seeing certain patients (I remember in 2018 if we saw a patient for a regular cleaning and periodic exam (D1110 and D0120) and spent a full hour with them we lost ~$40.00 by seeing them at Delta fees. So you'd think the solution would be to ask the insurance to pay more right? That's a great plan if your goal was to get laughed off the phone. Then after COVID, the cost of operation skyrocketed. Consumables more than doubled, large equipment jumped up, and don't even think about hiring a specialized tech to fix things, and so on. So more and more doctors had to leave networks to reduce their losses, especially small private practices like ours. In 2020 after we reopened we dropped all network contracts. If we continued to operate in network like we did before we'd have gone bankrupt.

Now for your specific problem it needs to consider a number of factors. First, what type of insurance do you have? Is it PPO, HMO/DMO, government subsidized like CHIP or Medicaid/care? If it's anything other than a PPO you're going to have to find a provider outside your normal range of travel. Every plan except PPO (or DPO) will require you to see an in network doctor. HMO/DMOs are structured in a way that you are registered to a specific doctor. That doctor get paid a miniscule monthly allotment for you being registered to them, even if they don't see you. The trade off is when you do go in, the insurance pays a pathetically low reimbursement for services. Government subsidized plans are even worse, these plans are managed by private companies like United Healthcare or Humana but ultimately the contract is with the government (sometimes state sometimes federal). These plans pay very low reimbursements as well and come with WAY more restrictions than the others. If you have a PPO/DPO you can still see an out of network doctor. If you are PPO/DPO my suggestion is, find a doctor you think is a good fit. Go for an initial visit for diagnostics if you haven't already, and ask for a predetermination (aka preauthorization, pretreatment estimate, pre-approval). This will let you know what the cost of any treatment is before you do the procedure. BUT! You have to see the doctor first for the diagnosis. Just because something is a 'covered service' doesn't mean your plan will approve it. I've seen so many patients say 'My plan said dentures/crowns/implants are covered why should I wait for a predetermination?'. Insurance companies are in the business of collecting premiums, not paying claims. Just because they say it's covered doesn't mean it's covered for your situation. When I send a claim for a crown I don't just send codes and a price. I send the claim forms with the codes/prices, a bitewing x-ray, a periapical x-ray, 1-5 photos of the tooth in question, doctor notes, and a narrative explaining why the patient needs a crown. It's always been like that, even if the first x-ray is plain as day why they need a crown (side bar, I've been seeing more and more unfounded denials as inflation lingers so I've had to fight more and more obvious cases over stupid technicalities). So if you have treatment proposed, you need to give your doctor the tools to back that treatment up.

ALSO! Regardless of your plan type, if this plan is from your employer (as in, you got this plan as a job benefit) complain to human resources. To an insurance company, you are just a whiny idiot who only pays a few hundred dollars a year. Your employer though? That's many THOUSANDS of dollars a year. Insurance companies structure each employer plan on a 'teir system' and its based on how much the employer negotiates. I've found that many patients of ours who work in HR have no clue about this. They only look at percentages and maximum/deductibles when they pick a plan to offer.

Sorry I wrote you a novel Hon. But if you have questions or even more specific scenarios hit me up again. I'll do what I can to help!

TLDR; If you have a PPO/DPO go for first visit and ask for a predetermination for treatment. If you have a HMO/DMO or government subsidized plan (CHIP, Medicare, medicaid) you're just gonna have to either change plans or travel.
