Day: March 25, 2008

I have discovered an article that helped to explain why my ‘DayDream’ theme from WordPress has a background that won’t zoom with the rest of the page. It’s a bug that could only be fixed temporarily by entering: html { background: #FFF } into my CSS stylesheet. Instead of a ‘white space’ color (#FFF) I chose my modified heart clipart from Microsoft. This meant I removed the ‘repeat’ for purple lines of grooviness.

So whenever someone with an IE7 browser ‘Changes Zoom Level’ via ‘Zoom In’ (or Ctrl +) or ‘Zoom Out (or Ctrl -) at default percentages of 400%, 200%, 150% and 125% or 75% and 50%, respectively, my purplish pink-colored heart clipart image is seen to the right of the ‘body’ element. Since I don’t know how to program a ‘div’ to remove this ‘HTML’ element, I am temporarily happy.

A couple of more CSS challenges are how to deal with the suppressing the enlargement of text for those who cannot see my default font size and how to center the displays located in my ‘topbar’ (or navigation bar) of my weblog.

After three and one half hours on the phone with Medicare, my parental units got the answers they wanted. It appears the old man, ‘Paw’, has not followed up with the two bills for a blood works done on 10/10/2007 and 01/12/2007. The date on the two bills was on 02/15/2007 and 03/19/2007, respectively.

My parental units had spoken to Medicare on 02/25/2007 to find out the same thing today (03/25/2007) that they needed a ‘Letter of Necessity’ from the doctor who ordered the blood work in the first place. An ‘Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN)’ was signed by the patient as part of an FYI procedure for the patient to know that Medicare may not cover the orders.

But since this order (on a monthly basis) is supposed to help treat the medical conditions of ‘Maw’, we needed to go back her doctor and obtain the proper documentations for Medicare to pay 100% coverage. It’s already 02:30PM and they twosome had finished eating their lunch.

The point is that old timers (like my parental units) do not always understand what is going on with paperwork. I believe (as part of the process of elimination for those evolutionists) the ‘smart’ ones follow up and know how to resolve their problems and not blame others for their troubles (like what I have been observing with the negative campaigning for presidency of the Democratic Party).

So the system is really set up for those who know what is going on and for those who cannot afford to pay the remaining balance would end up begin reported to the collection agency. As a result, the billing department has been kind enough to give the patient 75% on the bill and a 30-day extension until the doctor provides Medicare proof that the blood work is medically necessary.
