This is a continuation of my previous post about my child's blood test that showed high lead levels, so she was retested. May I ask if I may ask this frustration here ？
The results of the retest were negative, but they charged me ＄ 90 for the test ！ The pediatrician told me that the first blood draw is done by taking blood from my finger and putting it in a container, so sometimes the wrong numbers are given. He told me that usually the numbers are 2 or less, but there were 9. The Lead Poisoning Prevention Program office called me and sent me a booklet. They said that if these lead numbers are correct, even if there are no symptoms now, there will be problems with learning ability. I was very sorry about where my child had gotten so much lead, and my husband was furious with me, and I was worried about what would happen to her life. On a slightly different note, I recently went to my family doctor's office to have a blood test done because I had severe eczema and the itching was painful. When I went to get the results, I found that I had an allergy reading. My family doctor had also ordered an allergy test at the blood test office, but no allergy test was done, and as a result, I was never able to find out what I was allergic to. By the time I went to get the results, the eczema had gone away and I was told that they would not be able to tell without taking blood when I had an allergic reaction. How is this possible ？ I would appreciate any sympathy or advice here as well. I think I need to make sure that when I get a proper bill for this, I make sure that allergy testing is not included.

Well, it's different from Japanese hospitals. ？
I know you wrote that $90 is ！ different from 30% of everything in Japan, so
I'd be relieved if it was less than $100.
At any rate, I'm glad everything is okay. If you distrust doctors and clinics,
just switch. It's a country where you can do that without regret.

Blood test fee $ 90 is cheap.

I had an allergy test done before, but the items were very detailed, about 100 items, and the co-pay was $ 220.
I was surprised that my insurance didn't cover it ？ but
I was convinced that it clarified where my allergy was coming from.

I heard that a friend of mine had an allergy test in Japan
for 219 food sensitivities and paid 5,000 yen, 15,000 yen at 30% of the cost, so it is not an unsatisfactory medical bill.

A patch test, not a blood test, can be done even when eczema is not present, but the cause may be unknown.

Thank you for your comment ！
I was frustrated because if my child did not have a blood test, it would have been a few dollars for a 2 year old check up, but ＄ it was 90. I had visited this pediatrician many times for other than the usual checkups, but I was not prepared for this because they always ＄ never charged more than 20. If I thought for sure it should be expensive ＄ 90 might have seemed cheap.
And the allergy test was for me, not the child, and I have not yet received a bill for it. So it may be a test that is not covered by insurance ！ I will call my doctor and check before I wait for the bill ！
I was wondering if there is more of a problem with the blood test lab than with the doctor's office regarding these two events. I wondered if anyone else has had problems with blood testing recently, but there doesn't seem to be any.
Thanks for reading ！

#5 Mr. Worried

Maybe I wrote that wrong.
$ 220 for blood test was
$ 220 co-pay with insurance.

Without insurance $ it would be over 1000.

I know you are angry about the mismanagement of your child's blood test, but
$ 90 is good because it bought you peace of mind ？

As far as I know, blood tests are usually ordered by the doctor to the lab. The amount charged depends on what is being tested for and how many items are being tested. And I think the percentage covered depends on the type of insurance you have.

Collecting miles to use for Hawaii - Japan award tickets

Other

I was hoping to get your comments on collecting miles to use for award tickets between Hawaii and Japan.
I would like to hear about your favorite company, how you collect miles, etc. I myself am currently collecting miles with Delta Air Lines Amex Gold, but I am considering doing so after I have used up all my current miles on award tickets.
The reasons for this are
- Delta's Amex Gold annual fee will be $ 100 => $ 150 （ $10,000 spend bonus will increase to $ 100 => $ 200 and new hotel credit $ 100, which is not bad in general ）.
- I plan to use my BILT MasterCard to pay rent and accumulate points, but the airlines I can transfer points to are Hawaiian, United, and American Airline in the US.
- My destination is Nagoya, so I will be flying Delta to Haneda ＞ Shinkansen to Nagoya is a bit inconvenient in terms of time ・ and money. On the other hand, it is possible to fly to Nagoya with JAL/Hawaiian.

Based on the above 3 points, I think that if I were to migrate, it would be to Hawaiian ～ ？.
On the other hand, I may continue to use Delta, $ consider the 200 bonus as bullet train fare, or use BILT points as Hawaiian miles for Interisland flights.

With my current Delta card, I have been earning 12,000 - 15,000 miles per year for the last few years.
I think ？ the miles I get from purchases are roughly the same if I use the Hawaiian card as my main card.

Recent flights are
- Summer 2022 ： Purchased direct Nagoya flight on JAL
- Winter 2022 ： Purchased direct Nagoya flight on JAL, miles earned on Hawaiian
- Summer 2023 ： On JAL Purchased direct flight to Nagoya with JAL, mileage credited to Hawaiian
- Winter 2023 ： Awarded flight to Haneda with Delta
So, twice a year, I will return home by myself.
Seat is normal economy.

Note that the mileage requirement for a Delta Honolulu Haneda award ticket is roughly 94,000 - 104,0000 miles in Main Cabin economy.
The credit card award gives you 15% off the required miles, so it's actually 80,000 - 88,000 miles.

Of course, I understand that your destination, class of service, and usual mileage accrual are not the same, but
I would be happy to hear your opinions.

I used to enjoy traveling with miles as a UNITED miles member, but in the last couple of decades, because it costs a lot of miles and there are restrictions on the airlines you can use, I have a card that comes with CAPITAL ONE travel credit, and each time I take a ticket on an airline of my choice and I get cash back in miles.

Other credit cards probably have a similar system ？ but....　I only earn miles on each airline, but I don't have a credit function on them.

Thanks for the information.
I knew the name of Capital One, but did not know about the additional features.
It is an advantage to be able to buy a ticket on an airline that suits you each time.

I have frequent flyer accounts with United, JAL, ANA, Hawaiian, and Delta, but
all but Hawaiian and Delta are dormant. It is not easy to master the mileage way.

I also use Chase Sapphire Reserve, not with a specific one.
It is even considered the best card for people who travel a lot.
You can accumulate points and book with various airlines.
Also, you can use airport lounges with priority pass.
I recommend it. I recommend it,

I have never heard of Chase Sapphire Reserve.
The annual fee is high, but if you use the benefits well, it seems to pay for itself.
It is also good that you can make reservations without being tied to a single airline.
As expected, various credit card companies have come up with various services.
If I start looking into it, I will be addicted to it.

Cars sold by dealers and other second hand shops around the area.
We also sell privately at BibiNavi, but if you buy a too old one,
the engine stops the day after you buy it.

The seller has some problem, and they hide it and sell it
The criteria for buying a used car is

① 2014 or later
② Japanese make （ Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Matsuda, Subaru buy
③ buy cheaper than the blue book valuation


after that, there are resellers
be careful.

The trick to buy with peace of mind is to
buy a car to sell to return home.

I bought a car from Vivinavi several times and lost it because it broke down quickly
I don't want you all to buy a strange car.

Most women don't fix their cars themselves.
Besides, regular maintenance is a hassle and you don't want to spend a lot of money.
If you are such a person, you should lease a new car.

Or you can buy a used car if you are prepared to spend some money. The appearance may be important, but the sound when you first start the engine is more important. If this is good, it is a hit car.

You would think so
if you had the experience of buying a used car over 10 years old and having to send it in for repairs immediately.

Is it one owner whose past was carefully used?
Were several people, of various races, using it? If it is the same 10 year old
car, it will change.

You would be really lucky to have a 20 year old Toyota Soarer in excellent condition inside and out.

Thank you for your information.
walking soccer ！ ？
I searched the net. I see, that's good. ！
Rugby also has a game called touch foot, so this is a soccer version of it.
There seems to be a World Cup, and quite a few women play too.

I played soccer in elementary and junior high school, so I would love to try it.
I used to see kids playing soccer at Kapiolani Park, but I didn't know they had one for seniors. I will be in Hawaii for two months from January to February and would be happy to visit you.
We will contact you at the number you listed.

Pest Control at the Time of Eviction

When I move out of my house, my realtor has asked me to do pest control in addition to cleaning my room.

I have never been asked to do pest control when renting a house before, is this a common practice in Hawaii when moving out ？

I contacted a pest control company and was told it is usually done by the owner, They could not give me an estimate.

I would like to know if anyone has ever done pest control when moving out and can recommend a company.

I would also like to know the approximate price.

Thanks in advance.

I'm a homeowner now, but when I was a renter before, I wasn't
told about pest control, and it wasn't in my contract. I don't think it is common in Hawaii, but it depends on the contract. We did at least clean the apartment when we moved out, but that was it.

I have never heard of it.
Again, look over the contract and see if there is pest control. And again, get someone fluent in English to strongly tell you why the renter needs to do this.

Please read the contract.
When pest control is imposed, for example, if there are currently cockroaches or other pests in the apartment that were not there at the beginning of the lease, the tenant may be found to be at fault and be liable for the cost of dealing with the problem.
If it is clearly stated in the contract, you will be liable for the cost of dealing with the problem.　Even if it is not, if there is a legitimate reason to be charged, it is considered necessary as well as the cleaning at the time of leaving the room.
You may not know this, but cockroaches and ants can be eliminated by pest control, unless they are very bad.　If the whole condo is in bad shape, it may take longer to get rid of them or
they may appear here and there over time, so the frequency may be higher than others. However, it is quite effective, so sometimes it is just an excuse for both the lender and the renter because it is in Hawaii.
