    Yes you did not sound good at all at the beginning so glad you went in. I am also prone to the same one time I had pneumonia forever went from one lung then to the other ugh! You sounded so much better at the end when you were outside but then you added the cough at the very end and I was like oh my! Great tips we have a couple more years before thinking about some of this. So Ken from the Roadsmiths owes me a beer from the last game we played Dallas you guys want to do the same bet for Thursday Night game?

    • @ChasingOurSunshine

    Hope you are fully recovered. We are also FMCA members, and FMCAssist is a great program, but I would suggest you review the coverages again, I don't think it covers some of the situations you described. To get extensive travel coverage, Sky Med is the ticket, but that runs about $1k/year.
    Glad to see that you had a good nurse! Go Joel!

    • @ChasingOurSunshine
      @ChasingOurSunshine  9 місяців тому +2

      Hi guys- We just re-read it and what we talked about is covered, there are maximum amounts that can be spend on some of it. Feeling about 90% better now. Thanks- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

    • @AWOLlcdrpeterson
      @AWOLlcdrpeterson 9 місяців тому +1

      @@ChasingOurSunshine I stand corrected. Deb was right! Lol. What is also interesting to note is that this benefit costs the FMCA around $70/member/year, while the annual dues are less than that amount. It is a GREAT BENEFIT!
      I know an FMCA Member that signed up for Sky Med, because he had an accident on his property and needed a Life Flight, which ended up costing him $15k. The FMCA Program did not cover this because he was at his home.
      Here's a good powerpoint on the benefit. www.fmca.com/pdfs/FMCAssist_Seminar_081623.pdf

    • @ChasingOurSunshine
      @ChasingOurSunshine  9 місяців тому +2

      Thanks for sharing the powerpoint! It is a GREAT benefit for sure! Because of re-reading it we learned more, death benefits, lost of hands or feet and sounds like the time to call is when you are admitted to an emergency room. We are always covered now under this as we are full-timers and always traveling.
