I just went to get my check up with the Doctor and all looks fine. He wrote me a prescription for three drugs. When I went to the Farmasi at Siloam they gave a lame excuse that BPJS would only pay for one of the drugs. They said I was above or below the requirements for them to pay and I would have to buy the other two. It seems like a typical story about insurance companies. They want your monthly payment, but when they have to pay they find an excuse not too. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Why prescribe 3 drugs if "all looks fine" ?

At least you are still above ground. What is the general expectation of your health? Do you have now to do regular check ups? How is your mobility? Are you able to get around without a stick or frame? Are you back at Padang Bai? That set of stairs up to the first floor are a killer. You were talking of moving? What are your plans?

Yes I have been doing monthly checkups and it seems the surgery was a success so my heart is working normal again. I have to work on my mobility still after being bed ridden with all the troubles. I practice walking everyday and when I go to the hospital and markets for food I use a cane for stability. Unfortunately the stairs in Bali are a hill to climb you might say! In The States they have to be built to code and only so high. That is not in the system here. I had to move to a clinic near Mengwi for assistance. It's a nice place except the rent is taking all my pension. The rent is RP. 19,500,000 a month! Hopefully in a few months I can find a cheaper adequate place near Ubud. It has more amenities I need and want now. Plus people speak English! I hope you are well. Peace
