Thank you, Susan, but I can't take any credit for that post with all the 'help numbers'. That was compiled by @A MyBCTeam Member & she has had a hard time figuring out how to copy and paste it from her tablet so I saved the post to my favorites and whenever I see it can help someone, I repost it & @A MyBCTeam Member will send out an alert if she sees someone who needs help.

I thought ACA did away with Lifetime Max. I have UMR and I don’t have a lifetime max.
