What's the purpose of secondary fermentation?


I'm just curious about what secondary fermentation would contribute to a beer, as opposed to just sending it straight to bottle conditioning?
----------

% The secondard fermentation gets the rest of the yeast used up so you have a tasty beverage. It also lets the particulate matter disolve or settle and allows the brew to get to it's max Alcohol content.  (+ info)

Can you designate one health insurance as primary and another secondary?


I have health insurance through my wives work, and I am starting a new job that offers me health insurance. Can I carry my wives health insurance, and carry a secondary through my work? Or will the two companies fight over who should pay as primary and secondary?
----------

It is determined by where your birthdays fall with in the calendar year. For example, if your birthday is in March and your wife's is in June, your insurance would be primary (for both of you if you are both on both plans, also for your children) because your birthday is earlier in the year. The other would be secondary. If you google "insurance birthday rule" you will find some more information.   (+ info)

Is there ever a time when you would need a secondary cataract lasered again?


About 6 years ago I had cataract surgery with a lens implant. I needed laser surgery for a secondary cararact and it seemed ok for a few years. Now it seems as though the secondary cataract is back. Do they ever re-do the laser treatment?
----------

yes it can be lasered again

but

its probably not a "secondary cataract" (posterior capsular opacification) as having that a second time would be UBER rare. *if* it is that then YES it can be lasered...but i doubt thats the problem, even if thats what it "looks" like.

seed to go for an exam to find out what the problem is  (+ info)

How do I handle write offs when the patient has primary and secondary insurances?


I work for a dental office. I have a patient who has two dental insurances. We are in network with the primary and secondary. The patient came in and the visit was $150. The patient's primary insurance paid $115 with a $35 write off. I want to make sure I am doing this the correct way. When this is the case, we do not bill the secondary due to the write off from being in network with the primary insurance, correct? We still write off that primary insurance portion even though there is a secondary insurance, don't we? So I would not bill the secondary at all? Thanks for any help!
----------

Unless otherwise stated in your provider contract, you are allowed to bill the secondary for any money you did not collect from the primary.

What I usually do is take the primary write-off and bill the secondary insurance for the full fee less the primary payment. If you use an adjustment (depending on your software) to post the primary write-off, it shouldn't show on the claim form.

Here's something to be careful of, however: some insurance plans will take the same write-off as the primary! They stipulate in their contract that you can't charge them more (as secondary) than you charge the primary - even though you have NO contract with the secondary.

It gets plenty complicated. Email me if you need more help. This is kinda my area.  (+ info)

I have secondary Breast cancer in my lymph nodes and bones? what is my life expectancy?


Does anyone else have secondary breast cancer in thier bones and lymph nodes ( in my neck) ? how long have you had the secondary cancer for, I was diagnosed in August '08. My cancer was Eostrogen Positive, I am taking hormone treatment does anyone take any complimentary medicines as well? what are they?
----------

I'm really sorry that you got this after going through breast cancer. It doesn't seem fair does it. but no one can tell you what your life expectancy is. You could go into remission for a long time but it's a question I know I would even try to answer. I don't think anyone here can say how long you have. Only God knows that. You were diagnosed in Aug of 08 and just a few months later in Nov. 08, I had a bi-lateral mastectomy. I just pray in years to come no rogue cancer cells went on a trip in my body. I know that if it does happen, I only pray I can deal with it. You have my prayers and support. Maybe you should ask this question with your Dr. He would be the best qualified to answer this. God bless you.  (+ info)

Is it possible to get a secondary infection while on antibiotics?


Is it possible to get a secondary infection while on antibiotics such as a kidney infection or a urinary tract infection while on clindamycin?
----------

It is possible to get a second infection while on antibiotics for a separate infection. Not all antibiotics are effective against all bacteria, and not all antibiotics are equally affective for infections in different areas of the body. I have had this happen a few times. If you are experiencing symptoms of another infection...call your doctor. The docs are well aware that this happens.  (+ info)

How to cure secondary level bone cancer for a 68 years old patient?


My mom suffers from Secondary level bone cancer. She was having pain in the beginning say for about 2 months. We left it as it is bcoz of her age factor generally pain comes. But now on investigation we found it is cancer. We are not able to find out the primary level. Any medicines that can cure cancer? Now if she gets pain we give proxyvan and omez. She also consumes Amilodipin for BP. She has been given Radiation for only 7 days and doctors informed that is the final treatment that they can offer. Please help me.
----------

Has she had a PET scan to try and find the primary cancer? If she has bone cancer that has spread from an unknown primary cancer then this is not a good situation. She has been given the radiation for palliative pain control in her bones and not as a curative treatment. Make sure her pain is treated properly as it will probably increase over time. Perhaps it is time to contact hospice or make other preparations to take care of your mother.

Here is a good webpage about cancer of unknown primary so that you can better ask questions about treatment options of your mother's Drs. Make sure you have realistic expectations because there is no reason to make her sick from chemotherapy if the treatment will not produce remission or extend life span. good luck

Is it bad to only provide my secondary insurance to my Dr. even though I have a primary too?


I just had surgery and I used my secondary insurance because it covers 100% and my primary only covers 90%. (I didn't know that the secondary covers whatever the primary doesn't, but now I know.) And now the secondary is asking if I have any other insurance coverage. Is it too late to let them know that I also have a primary? I'm scared that none of them will want to cover it now. Please help.... thank you!
----------

Your secondary insurance will most likely be sending you a letter asking if you have any other insurance. You need to disclose then, and the companies will work it out. They call it "coordination of benefits" You will get the benefit of the better coverage.
In case you're wondering, you probably don't get to choose who is primary. See link below to a typical regulation.

My doctor, the primary and the secondary insurance issue different sums for the same procedure, which do i pay


I have two jobs and two dental insurance plans. For example, if the doctor issues 1000 for a procedure, the primary insurance 800 and the second 900. (The doctor is out of network for secondary insurance) Both insurances cover 50% ($450 all together) How much am I supposed to pay the doctor?
----------

He will bill you the correct amount after he receives payment from the insurance. Sometimes the Dr. will write off part of the unpaid bill.  (+ info)
