Ha! Now I have a weird picture of Anders coming in instead with that big ass hat and apron That would be no Bueno !!!
Originally was gonna run the L but would need new tires and some other stuff and due to my current financial status I may call in a favor or 2
Shouldn't be to hard to shop around for a Doc at a Quick Care with questionable morals to fill it out. It's not like you're shopping around for a pill script
Ironically, I've never actually met my PCP. She's been my PCP for 8 years, but in the last 8 years, I haven't been to see her. She bought the practice from a doctor that I really liked. So she became my PCP by default. I just haven't found it necessary to go to the doctor for the sniffles in all that time. Further adding to the irony, since my last posting, I've been hit hard, and I'm pretty sure I have the flu. So maybe if I call back this morning and tell her I'm sick, I can get in, and get the form signed. Thank God for the flu!
All signed up!! Hoping to add another addition to my collection of "stupid stuff to do on a Tiger" video series Just hope this one is less painful and less expensive to recover from...... Did I miss where to actually pay for the rally? I got my new license and membership paid for, but didn't see a link to pay for the rally fee. I'm going to run down to the local MedExpress office and see if they will complete the physical for me. Might be an easier option then trying to get into see a GP, especially since I don't have one.
I just have to post a copy of this text regarding the physical requirements. The author will remain nameless for now.
Could we get an official ruling on the physical thing? Some of the rules are confusing as to what applies to cars and what applies to the bike guys. I mean if I die from heat attack, throw a clot or hit a tree my wife is just going to thank someone and be on her way
I'll get the physical. Its a good excuse to go get one. I haven't had a complete physical in a very long time anyway, so for me, I welcome it. When I first started doing this a couple of years ago, it seemed odd to me that I didn't have to have one. I would like to know about how the insurance is supposed to work. As I understand it, we are insured so far as damaging other peoples' stuff, is that right? I mean, when I got hurt in WV, I (and my insurance) paid the whole bill. I'm assuming the cliff, and the trees, and the boulders I destroyed with my shoulder didn't try to sue the organizers for emotional distress or lost wages. There wasn't any rally insurance that I was supposed to claim was there? Not that I would, thankfully my wife is a state employee, so we are some of the few people left in America with outstanding, truly affordable insurance.
Anders can chime in but I believe the insurance covers things like your potential helicopter ride to the hospital and it covers public property related to the race course and things like spectators. Your car/bike and your medical bills are all on you.
That's what I figured, but it would be nice to get some type of laymen's explaination of the coverage.
Our medical insurance is secondary to your medical insurance. So if your insurance denies your $50,000 life flight (not an unusual cost for that) we pick that up and the next one million dollars. If you have NO medical insurance, there's a $1000 deductible and we pick up the next one million dollars. Then there's the liability insurance for if you injure/kill someone else. That's five million dollars. There has been an "Insurance" section in the supp regs for a decade... you've all just failed the test. Anders
Holy crap, I never saw this....... I know you don't believe it but I really did try to find this stuff online............. this is why I don't race a car there is far too much reading to do and I lose focus.....hey look a pigeon! Oh and I can't afford to race a car might be the main factor :eek1 Good thing I'm getting started early on prep, I'll get on the finger in the butt appointment.
If you mean "All competitors, service crews and all event participants (staff, marshals, volunteers, etc.) have secondary medical coverage of $1,000,000. There is a $1,000 deductible for those without their own primary medical coverage", you're right, that's in all the sups. If you're a normal person, like me, I have no idea what that actually means, or what that actually covers. I speak 3 languages, none of them well (including English). I don't speak insurancese. Here's what isn't in the sups, or covered in the NCO....how to file a claim. The actual mechanism for how this insurance works is a complete mystery. Thats all I was asking.
