The general vibe in RI is that if you need serious medical or disability support services, it’s worth moving over the line into MA. RI Medicaid is fine, but the provider networks and medical systems and services in RI are sub-par. Massachusetts, particularly in the Boston area, is much better

Adding a comment and an updoot because my curly-headed son is growing his hair out and also needs someone to help give him a bit better shape.

I'm a realtor, have been for 12 years, got my start in the business doing apartment rentals. Feel free to DM if you have housing questions. (I'm not soliciting for business, I don't even work with renters, I just want to help)

You might need to offer more than a dime, but I’m sure you can find one to pass you.

All major hospitals, FQHCs, CMHCs, specialty providers, PCP groups, etc. in RI take Medicaid, whether fee-for-service or managed care. There are plenty of waiver providers as well. Yes, there may be some access issues with certain provider types.

We have a full duals program here that you would likely qualify for, which provides fairly intense care coordination.

There is a lot of reform happening in the LTSS and HCBS spaces here aimed at increasing capacity and quality. Though I’m in tune with specifics.

I wish you the best in finding the resources you need.

I wish I knew your name so I could warn those I know in the industry not to hire you. You sound pleasant.

To be fair, unless youve got someone whos a realllllll stickler, a small tick like this will not get you a fail.

That’s low

The car does have lane keep assist. That said, the chip has been there for years and LKAS has worked without issue, so I'm hopeful it's a repair. Either way, Id like to keep the cost of recalibration out of my pocket...

It didn't because they didn't start the inspection. I pulled in, the advisor came out to check me in, took a look at the car and said it would fail with the chip and asked if I wanted to proceed and I declined. I'm gonna actually get an inspection tomorrow and if I fail (which seems likely) I'll start the process of getting the repair.

Funny enough I've had this crack for almost 4 years, in the elements and weather ranging from -15 to 110 degrees, and it hasn't grown at all during that time. I got away with it cause the state I just moved from didn't do inspections for cars <10 years old.

This might be legit. If it's a newer car with some time of lane assist or radar that works through the windshield. They can not work correctly if the windshield is cracked or replaced. They usually need to be recalibrated.

Altho I will say, a crack that small and low shouldn't be an issue. But that's the logic behind the dealers decision is my guess.

Update us on how this gets resolved!

No. Your car did fail. You should've received a failure report. Stating why it failed. But, you do get a time period (commenter said 10 days, it was a month iirc when I was a tech) to get it repaired and go back for a free re inspection. You're also safe from persecution of officers for an expired sticker with that failure receipt. However after the time period, you are fair game to cops and the DMV and will also have to repay for another inspection.

Try calling neighborhood member services, they could help you. 401-459-6020

Spent a few years there on and off as a young child and teen for self mutilation and “suicide attempts”. I say that in quotes because it was just for attention and a way to get out of the group homes I was in as I found Butler to be much more home like and enjoyed it more than a group home. I have a lot of good memories there to be honest. Staff and fellow patients alike. While those issues are far far behind me and my mental health is very solid at this stage in my life (this was over 20 years ago) I’m glad to hear it’s still just as warm as it was. Well, except the times I would flip out and get strapped to the bed and shot with Benadryl in the ass to calm me down or thrown in the LSE room (Low Stress Environment aka padded cell) but that was on me not the staff or facility

Most insurances cover safelite coming to fix for you .

I know that Thundermist takes it, and a couple of other health clinics, not sure which hospitals do.

Also he was driving an unregistered vehicle and had an open beer in his truck. I'm not sure if he was cited for any of that.

I knew this would crush my dreams lol. But the questions had to be asked. Do the major hospitals take Medicaid or brown affiliated things? The good thing about Philly is the major hospitals and universities here take medicaid.
