Medical insurance billing and coding resumes

I've never understood the medical system to be honest. On my claims history, for a consult with a GP it says:
Cost to claimant: $46.80 Benefit paid: $41.20 Total cost: $88.00
However I paid the full $88 and never got a rebate. This GP does not bulk bill.
What am I missing here? Is this correct?

So I am close to finishing my assiocates paralegal program and my A.A. All I need is my internship, which I'm having trouble finding. All the summer internships that were offered on handshake and other sites that my program director gave are filled or dont meet my requirements. I missed out on submitting my resume due to a competition and family issues. I want to start cold calling firms or hand-out my resume to firms and ask if they are looking for interns, I feel that this would paint me in a negative light and seen as pushy.
Also, some more information
I am currently working part-time as a receptionist at a car dealership and would like to continue working as I do my internship. Got to pay rent and bills somehow
My program director is pretty hands-off and is new to the position. She really hasn't been helpful in advising students beyond giving out the websites and resume/cover letter help.
I haven't seen any posting on handshake or other websites for fall internships
I plan on talking with my schools career success guy, but I'm unsure if he is available in the summertime.
Internship requirements

1. I need 150 hours
   
2. I can only work at a max of 10-15 hours a week. ( This is my program directors suggestion, and also, I would be working part-time and having an 11 credit course load)
   
3. Needs to be a legal internship within a legal setting
   

My main question is, what's the best strategy to finding an internship? And how do I go about finding one?

Hello. Stupid question but I’m confused. I had my baby in February this year at the hospital through c section so ofc they did some blood tests there after surgery. My question: can I still get my wellness yearly exam that includes blood test free of cost this year at my pcp? Or will they charge me since I had some blood tests done after c section? I would like to get it but want to make sure I don’t get charged as I already have enough medical bills from delivery. My insurance does offer free preventive care usually.

So almost a year ago I (24m) was involved in an accident as a pedestrian. I looked at solicitors to make a claim and chose one which at the time had good reviews. They were very cooperative in the early stages replying a day or two on every enquiry I had, as this was my first time making a claim.
At the very back end of last year, I received an offer from the person’s insurance which was a little lower then expected. I was told not to accept this as I had a medical coming up to assess the damage.
At the start of this year my medical report came back and I was told my claim was worth 3 times the amount of the initial offer. They began negotiating and I was told I would here back in 21 working days, but 2 months went by with nothing.
I tried contacted them to no avail, so I mentioned I may get another firm to take over as it seems I’m being avoided. I got a phone call 2 days later apologising and they said I should hear an offer in 2 weeks as they have all the evidence they need.
Again now another 2 months have past and nothing. I’ve tried contacting them multiple ways but I don’t get a response. I recently looked at the reviews again and have seen they’ve been getting alot more negative reviews. The positive reviews I first saw were when people first made there claim and all the negative are people saying they’ve waited a year or 2 and nothing, with only one person I saw actually get there compensation.
What should I do? This is my first ever claim and I live in the uk. I was told it was an open and shut case with all the evidence cctv etc. Do I get another solicitor to take over? Do I contact the ombudsman?

Gidday from New Zealand, I have a house and rely on border income to help pay the mortgage. Unfortunately a section of the wastewater pipe has collapsed - it is 90 year old earthenware and was full of roots when I bought it a few years back. I had to get the roots cut last year and this year the root cutters turned up for an annual clearing I didn’t confirm and cut the roots out again - there was no issue before they came but a few weeks after, the wastewater started to back up and the contractor came back to check their work and eventually confirmed the wastewater was collapsed to some degree.
I filed an insurance claim and the contractors quoted 10-20k (nz) to fix due no digger access. Since I’m unsure of insurance even covering pipes breaking and have a construction background (civil engineer) I decided to start trenching by hand as I have drainlayer workmates who offered to help connect the pipe if I did the trenching but as I dug down I discovered that my water toby a foot or two off the line of the waste water was also leaking, the leak is on the council side - did not stop when I turned the toby off and the hole I was digging down to the wastewater quickly filled with water.
I’m not entirely sure what to do now as I don’t want to trench down to the WW as I don’t want the hole to fill with water and leave the leaky water connection and the broken wastewater sitting in the same water filled hole.
Apparently the toby is councils responsibility to repair but they are notorious for taking months to do anything and I can’t find the public shutoff down the road.
I have a good relationship with my boarders but they are not close friends, I charge below market rent and lowered it when our new government lowered landlord taxes (unlike literally any other landlord here) but they did ask not to pay rent until the toilet is fixed as they feel they can’t spend all their time in the house - already looking at a large bill so was pretty frustrating to hear, I bought a camping toilet so they had something to use in the meantime but this won’t fly for months.
Keen to hear your thoughts on viability of insurance claims for burst pipes, methodology for Fixing the toby and methodology for safely working around water and waste without cross contaminating them. Cheers

I recently landed a new job after almost 18 months of unemployment. So got my EID again, and I have 2 credit cards which needs to be paid. Now this collection agency is continuously calling and emailing my place of work, despite asking them not to. I told them it will be a few months before I start paying the cards as I have bigger pending bills to take care off like medical and other things. What are my options here.

May 13 2024. I am learning and still need to learn more on how to get over differences and accept one another humans as just the same and that i shouldnt judge too hard cuz what if i was in their position. (This could apply to you reading this now or any person who reads this, which is know might be a long one but please just give it a chance to see why you don’t even have the time to read this and actually understand, to see my view point because this is the viewpoint of all regular folk such as you and myself)
WHY HAVE WE AS A HUMAN SPECIES JUST LOST EMPATHY AND UNDERSTANDING we dont need to feel ashamed cuz we didnt know better, we just need to start working on fixes and now since only more time will hold back actual change.
Aslo i think im starting to learn something new about myself if im not doing something that grows me as a person as in example discussing political viewpoints and reading or just learning views on humans and just humanitarian things in general cuz
WE’RE HUMANS AND THAT COULD’VE BEEN US AND ITS NOT BUT IF WE GOT THE MEANS TO HELP THEN LETS HELP , oh wait we cant help cuz (insert stupid fabricated excuse that the governments make cuz they are or might be a failure just because, IF A GOVERNMENT IS ACTUALLY IN HELP OF PEOPLE THEN IT SHOULD GET THINGS DONE AND EVERYONE SHOULD BE LIVING WELL AND I MEAN EVERYONE the only reason we have some people who cant even afford to have the time to read this or to take time to understand). Now i know that sounds unreasonable but THATS ONLY SOUNDS UNREASONABLE CUZ OUR OH WELL LOOKSY DOO ITS THE SAME FUCKING GOVERNMENTS TELLING US ITS NOT
We hear the term escaping the matrix or finding the cheat code in life. Well the matrix isnt about escaping reality or people ITS ABOUT ESCAPING THE GRASP OF THE GOVERNMENTS AND BEINGS THAT STOP US HUMANS DOING WHAT WE WANT.
And if we humans cant see this then perhaps the time for the human race is over and doomed to fail either from nuclear amerggdon or climate change.
Like being a dick and not wanting to help or actually be active and apart of something is what government want from us regular folk us NON ELITE HUMANS the ones who don’t have tens of millions of dollars or just enough money and superficial happiness or anything to not get you thinking about each other and how we all feel.
They (as in the people who get to decide our way of life the Government’s WHICH BY THE WAY THEY SHOULD HAVE NO RIGHT) dont want us to see “oh damn they got the power to actually make the change and theyre not making change ?” THEY’LL DO ANYTHING TO JUST NOT GET ASKED MORE QUESTIONS AND GET INTO IN DEPTH (examples like taxes and how we are all to busy thinking about our bills or how anything would get done cuz everyone needs to focus on things that “actually matter” BUT THE THINGS THAT ACTUALLY MATTER OR JUST DISTRACTIONS , like if you read this and think wait i don’t have the time for this LIKE WHY DONT YOU?? Because your to busy with what…? EXACTLY THAT WHAT AND ANSWER TO THE QUESTION IS USALLY WHAT IT IS AND AN EXAMPLE OF A DISTRACTION)
You see this isn’t a regular war this is a revolution of the average human such as me and you. Thank you
any excuse to be able to move on and thats why i think i haven’t been able to move on these days. Havent been able to connect with things and people in my life
Its just such a deadly cycle and loop and no wonder people kill themselves.
BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS JUST A DISTRACTION FROM THE TRUTH THAT IM LIVING IN A SYSTEM DESIGNED TO KEEP ME AT THE BOTTOM AND WITH A FALSE DREAM AND HOPE THAT I’LL BE RICH ENOUGH TO NOT CARE OR RICH ENOUGH TO ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
We as in the human population also need to stop questioning the messager and talking about whats up with me as a person and SEE WHAT IM ACTUALLY SPEAKING OF AND WHAT I REFER TO BECAUSE WHAT I REFER TO IS THE DAILY LIFE OF ANYONE OF US. BECAUSE WHAT I SPEAK OF IS THE TRUTH AND HOW WE ALL FEEL.
And i will do what i have to do to spread this message and if that means playing by this sick game’s rules and having to force myself into the machine of capitalism and how our society worships money. Then i will just to have a platform to spread the truth. Because I do believe this way full heartedly and found it easy to write this because i know how all us people feel since we are all still human. And now is the time to stick together and be able to help our neighbors and friends, family and even those we don’t even know.
Spread the word and lets help each other by getting educated, ask more questions. don’t take everything at face value all the time and don’t just follow and the herd mentality, actually use your brain and think how this relates to you and others in your life and help them out if possible. Thank you for your time just do not be hardheaded and say “nah” actually be the change you wish to see in the world, thats how it starts.

Group insurance policies and individual insurance plans differ in several key ways, including coverage, cost, customization, and eligibility. Here’s a detailed comparison:
Group Insurance Policy
Coverage:
Scope: Provided to a group of people, typically employees of a company or members of an organization.
Dependents: Often extends coverage to employees' family members (spouse and children).
Uniformity: Generally offers uniform coverage to all members of the group.
Cost:
Premiums: Usually lower than individual plans due to the risk being spread across a larger number of people.
Payment: Premiums are often fully or partially paid by the employer or organization.
Customization
Flexibility: Limited customization options as the plan is designed to meet the needs of a group rather than individual preferences.
Additional Options: Some employers offer optional add-ons or supplemental coverage that employees can purchase.
Eligibility
Access: Automatically available to members of the group (e.g., employees), often with minimal underwriting.
Coverage Period: Typically valid as long as the individual remains a member of the group (e.g., employed by the company).
Portability
Continuity: Coverage usually ends when the individual leaves the group (e.g., leaves the job), though some plans may offer the option to convert to an individual policy.
Individual Insurance Plan
Coverage
Scope: Purchased by individuals for themselves and their families.
Dependents: Coverage can be tailored to include dependents based on the individual’s needs.
Cost
Premiums: Typically higher than group plans since the risk is assessed individually.
Payment: The individual is responsible for paying the premiums.
Customization
Flexibility: High level of customization to meet the specific needs and preferences of the individual.
Additional Options: Wide range of add-ons and riders available to enhance coverage.
Eligibility
Access: Subject to underwriting, which may include medical exams and assessments of health history.
Coverage Period: Coverage continues as long as the individual pays the premiums, regardless of employment status.
Portability
Continuity: Highly portable, maintaining coverage irrespective of changes in employment or group membership.
Summary

• Group Insurance: Cost-effective, employer-provided, less customizable, and tied to group membership.
• Individual Insurance: More expensive, customizable, purchased independently, and portable.

Both types of insurance have their advantages and are suitable for different situations. Group insurance is beneficial for those seeking lower-cost coverage through their employer, while individual insurance offers flexibility and continuity regardless of employment status.

Nalay-off ako recently sa trabaho ko last April. I have 12 years BPO experience at 8 years non is with financial accounts. 3 years na ako sa company na to and when I started, 42k package with allowance ang offer sakin. May yearly annual increase na performance based. Lowkey performer ako at as of 2024, 51k na package (salary + allowance) na kinikita ko monthly agent level. Ang sarap tingnan ng payslip na nakikita ko ang taas ng sweldo ko kumpara sa previous bpo before.
Sobrang lungkot ko nung makita ko name ko sa lists ng malalayoff pero I told myself, “Ah, di bale na. Shit happens. I am a BPO veteran, madali ako makakahanap ng panibagong work. Maganda ang work history ko and my skills as an agent are above industry standard na. Recruiters will always want me.”
ABSOLUTE WRONG.
Yes, recruiters want me. But thing is, sobrang hirap maghanap ng company na magaaccomodate ng salary that will match my last employer’s salary pay sakin. Kaya ako narereject kasi daw I was “demanding an outrageous amount for an agent-level role.” Hanggang ngayon wala parin akong mahanap. The most I was offered was 43k (37k plus 6k allowance). Sinabi pa nung recruiter na un na daw talaga ang max agent level standard kahit san ako magpunta. This was my pay 3-4 years ago. I worked so hard para maachive ang 51k na package ko ngayon. Sobrang nakakalungkot. Kahit pa may separation pay ako, I am scared for my life for the long term. Like pano na ung 4 na insurance na binabayaran ko? Pano na ung lupang hinihulugan ko, ung bills ko sa bahay, mga basic necessities para mabuhay? I am so scared for my life na I could no longer afford to pay my credit card bills in full and most importantly, I am scared for my life na I could no longer afford to give myself and my little family a comfortable life. :(
So looks like I’m back to being paid the basic agent level salary na sabi nila.
Ang point ng post ko is hindi para sabihin na “pucha oo ang malas ko, ganda sana ng swelduhan mo kaso minalas ako.” Ang point ko is if you’re earning more than 40k monthly salary as an first level agent, magisip isip ka na at magstrive magpapromote to TL, Coach, QA, SME, whatever basta magpapromote ka na. Minindset ko na magccalls ako at ok nako don, logout at uwi ako agad after, walang additional work. As long as bayad ako, may HMO ako at ng pamilya ko, may pangkain at panghospital kami, di ko kailangan ng promotion ok na ko. Sakit lang sa ulo un pulitika pa minsan. Maling mindset pala to. Sa BPO, hindi ka welcome sa mataas na pay pag agent level hanap mo. So magpapromote ka para if ever comes a time na magresign ka or malayoff ka gaya ko, may leadership history ka sa resume mo.
Un lang. sana wag mangyari senyo nangyare sakin.

Stock firmware (Marlin 1.70.0). I’ve created a custom Cura profile with 12 tools so I can do some more complicated multicolour prints than just changing at layer heights (It’s all still manual lol). The current tool change gcode I have (which is adapted from here) is:

G91 ; relative positioning G1 E-50.0 F2700 ; retract filament G1 Z50 ; raise Z G90 ; absolute positioning G1 X110 Y0 ; move away from print M25 ; pause print

So the issue I have is that pausing the print with M25 doesn’t actually pause the print on the touch screen, so I can’t press resume. I’ve had one successful change by pausing the print a second time on the touch screen and then resuming, but I’ve also had one change where the printer decided that it’s destination was straight down into the bed, so I’m not sure this is the most reliable method.
I’ve considered replacing M25 with G4 and adding a 3-4 minute timer to the pause which I’ll probably do if this post doesn’t yield any solutions, but I’d much rather have it be a toggle if possible. I was wondering if anyone knows the code that actually gets the touchscreen to display that it is paused? (Is that even gcode?)
M0 and M600 aren’t recognised by the firmware either btw, eventually I’ll get Klipper but until then this is what I have to work with.

I need the otolaryngology medical community’s help, as many physicians have been stumped by my situation. Admins, please read before deciding to delete. I am not a medical professional, but I possess a unique situation that cannot seem to be resolved by the medical professionals available to me. I am not sure how to phrase this without breaking the subreddit’s only rule, so I will try to express it in a manner oriented to my obsessive curiosity to understand my (undiagnosed) condition.
 
For starters, I have no credentials to confidently say anything I am about to; some of it may even be jargon or irrelevant, but I will try my best.
 
Eight years ago, I weighed around 285 lbs. I began an exercise routine that caused me to lose about 20 lbs within a short amount of time. During this period, I developed persistent discomfort in my left ear. I noticed the discomfort after visiting my aunt, where there was a 500’ elevation difference. When I came back home, my ear would not pop. Over the course of a week or so, the ear pressure eventually equalized, but everything sounded muffled.
 
This led me to my first ENT visit. The ENT didn’t really give me much time, and paired me with an audiologist who determined my hearing was perfect. After hearing the unfortunate news of no diagnosis, I asked why I have to pop my ears to hear consistently. I was brushed off and told to see a TMJ specialist. The TMJ specialist told me I’m fine.
 
This is where my independent research began. I determined that my “popping” was actually me forcibly equalizing the pressure in my Eustachian tube by repeatedly moving my jaw. I went to an in-network ENT. This ENT took offense to my self-diagnosis of Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (ETD) and told me my issues were allergy-related. I was referred to their allergy department and put on immunotherapy shots. After completing my treatment and reaching maintenance, my issue persisted.
 
Frustrated, I looked online for the highest-rated ENT in my state. This doctor did not accept my insurance, so I decided to pay out of pocket to get the issue resolved. This doctor’s niche was rhinoplasty, and he was the first (and so far last) to give me the time of day. He performed a nasal endoscopy and a CT scan of my sinuses. Both tests revealed nothing of use. He noted I have a slightly deviated septum, but not nearly enough to cause any of my symptoms. However, he did note the sinuses on the side where I’m experiencing discomfort were inflamed. His diagnosis was chronic sinusitis. I was prescribed Azelastine 0.1% (137 mcg) nasal spray (an antihistamine). I used this medication for about a year in conjunction with Flonase, but nothing changed.
 
Once again, I sought out a different ENT. This ENT also took offense to my description of symptoms because I used medical phrasing (ETD). After a brief consultation, I was told once again that my symptoms were allergy-related. I went back on allergy shots, reached maintenance, and once again the issue persisted.
 
At this point, I gave up and didn’t bother refilling my prescriptions or finishing my shot treatment. Over the course of a year or two, I developed a severe sinus infection that went several months untreated. It came to the point where I was unable to breathe out of my nose at all, affecting me to the point my family members became concerned, as now there were comorbidities (such as sleep apnea). I eventually saw a pulmonologist who made it clear I needed to see an ENT and get my sinus issues fixed.
 
Thinking that maybe if I stuck with the same ENT and followed the trial and error process, I went back to the last ENT I saw. I was diagnosed with a sinus infection and prescribed medication. For the first time in months, I was able to breathe again after excreting from my nose what looked like petrified mucus. With this small victory, I returned to the same ENT and expressed my frustrations. I passionately described the location of my discomfort and explained that I believe the Eustachian tube problems I’m having are not the issue but a symptom of something else. I explained that I feel a mass or some sort of inflammation in my throat and mentioned the inflammation found by the previous ENT who performed a nasal endoscopy.
 
That was a mistake. After expressing my frustrations, I was diagnosed with "globus hystericus." Initially excited to finally have an explanation and a treatment plan, I was disheartened when I was told he could no longer assist me and suggested involving different medical professionals. When I got home and googled my new diagnosis, I realized he was referring me to a psychologist. Needless to say, I didn’t return.
 
Unable to accept my new reality, I resorted to more independent research. Before I even say this, I want to strongly express how much this improved my symptoms. Mewing, changing my tongue posture, and stopping mouth breathing drastically improved my Eustachian tube pressure over the course of a year. Using a jaw exercisegum daily also significantly reduced my ear pressure issues. Although the discomfort was reduced, it was not fully resolved. Sometimes I’d use a massage gun on my jaw, chin, bridge of my nose, head, and neck, which helped with mucus and provided temporary relief, especially lower in my neck near my chests, this seems to what felt like drain mucus/fluid. I am 120% able to the breath better after, but the “mass” still felt present.
 
After a while, my circumstances relocated me to a different state, giving me a new opportunity to finally resolve this. I saw a new ENT, and I gave the full rundown of my symptoms and history. I mentioned every medical ailment, bad habit, and quirk I have ever experienced. I mentioned my frequent regurgitation from overeating, how sometimes ground beef or rice seems to get stuck somewhere in the back of my throat, how I sleep on the side where I’m having discomfort, and how I pick my nose in the morning. I also mentioned that I can feel when my ears are producing wax and can remove hot wax with a Q-tip in real-time. I mentioned having tubes as a kid (as I mentioned to every ENT). This ENT diagnosed my issue as being caused by the acid in my regurgitation irritating my sinuses. I was prescribed Omeprazole 40 mg. I took this for a while but realized it was a bandaid on a bigger issue. I needed to prioritize my weight and eating habits.
 
I eventually started measuring my portions and eating slowechewing my food better, which fully resolved the regurgitation issue. However, I still occasionally get food stuck somewhere in my throat and definitely stuck in my soft palate. I have had my tonsils and adenoids removed when I was a toddler, but I can’t help but wonder if something grew back and is trapping food (I assume this would show in a CT scan).
 
As of recently, my latest symptom is hairs coming from the back of my mouth. Initially, I thought they were beard hairs, but after the fifth or sixth time, I became fully certain that single strands of hair are coming from the side of my mouth where I’m experiencing discomfort. I can replicate this over a long period of repeatedly opening my jaw (like I have Tourette’s) in an effort to equalize the pressure in my ear. I did some research, and it sounds like it could be a million different things. So once again, I have an ENT appointment coming up.
 
Now we’re caught up. I started to about a year ago still use the nasal spray and Flonase daily, and I even have a tablespoon of raw local honey. I have ZERO allergies. My ear pressure has progressively gotten worse over the past month, with the frequency of hairs increasing due to my constant need to open and close my mouth for pressure relief. I am not sure what to even tell this new ENT. I need experts to help me navigate the landscape of this condition.

Hello,
This sounds stupid but I’m going to ask it anyway. 25F for reference. Sometimes when I cough especially hard, it is like a radiating pain from my chest to my forearms. It’s difficult to describe but it’s like I can feel it in my bones, like I’ve literally rattled my skeleton in my arms and hands. It’s quite painful, and it lasts for about 5 minutes at a time. Every once in a while I will actually lose sensation in my hands and wrists, and lose grip strength for those 5 minutes. My hands shake and it is just a deep, sharp pain that slowly ebbs.
For context I do have high blood pressure, but that’s the only condition that I think would be applicable in this case.
I don’t have health insurance, so can’t go to the doc and I’m honestly thinking (and hoping) this is just a weird body quirk and not a medical problem but figured I’d ask. Hopefully someone says my skeleton is just telling me to stop coughing and that’s that. Lol.

Hi! I need (ok, I'm desperate for) a job (even a temporary job is fine) where I can make at least 3000 USD in the next few weeks. I recently quit teaching, but if there's a teaching job that pays now, I'll do it for sure. I was a math and chemistry teacheprofessor (mostly math), and also taught a STEM success class that largely focused on research skills and writing. I also have solid skills in data analysis, item analysis, data annotation and labeling, editing, curriculum design, assessment design, LMS admin ...really anything related to teaching, learning, and data (but I'm not a great coder). My dream job would combine data analysis and education.
I know it's a HUGE ask and likely won't go anywhere. I have a large medical expense (no insurance, but it's necessary) coming up and they want full payment first. Even though I have decent credit (TransUnion, anyway), my debt to income ratio is super high because of all my student loans. So I can't get a personal loan.
If you have/know of anything that sounds like a good fit, please let me know!

Hi AskStatistics,
I'm quite the amateur when it comes to stats, so hoping to get some advice. This is for a paper in the medical field.
I'm analysing some data to determine what factors predict a positive finding of a particular CT scan (0=no, 1=yes). I have data on age, blood pressure, heart rate, etc., and yes/no data (coded as 1/0) for if they are taking a particular medication, have a history of collapse etc. I'm using SPSS currently. How do I analyse this to determine if a factor such as taking a medication is statistically significant in predicting a positive outcome of the CT scan.
I initially thought a univariate analysis with the CT scan being the dependant variable and all my other 20 or so variables as fixed values (analyse -> generate linear model -> univariate), but I don't seem to be getting what I'm looking for. I was (ideally!) hoping there would be something I could do on SPSS to generate a single table that tells me the mean/median/interquartile range for all my variables (or % of 1/0 for the yes/no variables) and the associated p value for statistical significance in predicting a "YES" (i.e 1) value for the CT scan.
Thanks in advance!

I was looking at purchasing a tv for 2 lakhs. The sales person at the time of billing only started to insist to buy AMC as anything might happen anytime and cost is huge in purchase. Till that time he was explaining me on how better it is compared to other models.
My question is do they build a tv worth 2 lakhs to run only for a year? How many TVs will be replaced piece to piece with this AMC? The cost of AMC is not so cheap that we can take a insurance itself to secure ourselves in a much better way.
What are your thoughts?

I’ve been in therapy for almost my whole life and have gone through probably 7 of them (usually because they move and my insurance no longer covers it). On the first session it’s mostly the legal details they have to write down, I don’t know the specifics. It’s questions like, “what are some traumas?”, “what are your family dynamics?”, “are you on medication?”, “have you been to a psychiatric hospital”, etc. I HATE the first day. When I come to a new therapist it’s usually because I’m in deep shit and really just need to talk to someone, not to rehash old trauma. Is there a list of things therapists need to have written down/documented? Because I’d really just prefer to create a list, skip the legal part and deal with my current situation, and leave early so I’m not making anyone work overtime. I have no idea if that’s even possible but it would be SO nice.
Tl;dr: What things do therapists have to have documented after the first visit? Is it possible to make a list with the requirements and move on to other topics?

i have been working on python and django projects, also applying for the jobs. But i didn't solved any questions on coding platforms like hackerrank or leetcode as they are completely different with respect to the solving and understanding levels when compared to using in django. Is that compulsary to solve them and show them in our resume or else it doesn't require at all.
