I met all of the deadlines but there were still problems -- information on the exchange was wrong (e.g. it said there were no high deductible HMOs eligible for HSAs when in fact there were several), I received bills for two other people, access to the CDPHP web site was unavailable for about two months, automatic payments were not available. I took it in stride as the Healthcare Exchange was new and buggy. Plus CDPHP was very open about the problems whenever I contacted them. In terms of price you will pay more for CDPHP -- both Empire Blue Cross and MVP had less expensive plans for my area. I probably could have saved a few hundred dollars per year with comparable plans from either Empire or MVP but due to my professional experience with CDPHP I decided to stick with them. Plus I knew just about every provider in the Capital Region accepts CDPHP. A few months after getting coverage I developed a rather serious medical problem that required diagnostic work-up and surgery. I knew when I chose my coverage I would have some costs I would have to pay since I had a high deductible HMO. I have found CDPHP great to work with. I stayed within their preferred network for my radiology studies (and you do have a lot of choices) and a PET scan was paid in full (except the radiologist charge, which is normal). My bills have been easy to understand and paid in a timely fashion without any problems. When I have called CDPHP to ask questions they have answered my questions in a timely fashion. What you learn with insurance is it is the service and coverage that you get when it is needed that counts. CDPHP is a bit more expensive but when you need it they deliver.

He worked so fast and efficiently that he finished all the work I needed done even though I was sure there was more that two hours worth of work.
We were remodeling our kitchen and the appliance company brought an electrician with them to install the new oven and a cook-top. Unfortunately the cook-top didn?t quite fit into the cutout yet the electrician wired the cook-top. The counter top company returned to fix the problem and realized they needed an electrician even though the electrician that installed the cook-top assured us they wouldn?t. We were between a rock and a hard place. I called Jason who was on another job but was able to leave it for a short time for our emergency.
When he arrived I watched him unhook the cook-top so it could be taken out and the cut-out fixed. He was professional as always but I knew something was wrong. I asked him if he had a problem with the work of the other electrician. He did and, in fact, it could have been dangerous. He disconnected the cook-top and waited until the counter top people finished.
While he was waiting I told him one of my kitchen lights was cross threaded and we couldn?t get the globe off to clean it. We had tried to fix it but we couldn?t but within minutes he had fixed it, took the globe off for me to wash and then replaced the globe on the light fixture.
He then reconnected the cook-top and was on his way with many thanks from my husband and I.
Prior to him coming I had used the cook-top and told my husband we had to call the appliance company because it wasn?t working right. It was taking a long time to cook eggs and then it was having power surges on some of the burners. My husband wanted me to wait until everything was in before we called the appliance company. Luckily I listened. The electrical changes Jason made fixed the problem and now my cook-top works as it should.
We don?t know what we would have done without Jason. He came right away when we needed him, but more importantly, he saw and corrected a problem that might have caused an electrical fire.
His work and professionalism is so excellent that I wouldn?t hire anyone else."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/me/gray/mcvey-electric-reviews-2050615.htm"},"position":8},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"New Providence Car & Limousine","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"NY","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Martha M."},"reviewBody":"After trying several companies on Angie's list and deciding they were either not local or out of business, I found New Providence taxi in the local Yellow Pages. When I called, the owner of the company was very courteous and assured me the car would be on time (I have had several bad experiences). The next morning, the driver was early and the sedan car was very clean. The driver's dress and attitude were professional and he willingly helped me with my luggage. I was so impressed that I arranged to have him pick me up when I returned 3 days later. The same driver picked me up and was again very professional.

"I would hire this company over and over again! Humberto, his son and their guys are amazing! Our bathroom and laundry room had gotten water damage due to a backed up sewer line. Humberto, his son, and their team replaced drywall, baseboards, primed and painted both rooms. They redid the laundry room floors, and the vanity in the bathroom. Everything looks amazing, and we have already discussed with them if they can redo the rest of downstairs, paint upstairs and my kitchen cabinets. They are VERY NEAT workers, always cleaning as they go. They’re reliable, trustworthy and you can tell they aren’t just in it for the money. Humberto is really compassionate."

Stair Companies questions, answered by experts
Most stair lift manufacturers and suppliers will offer to remove older stair lifts for a fee. The cost for this service varies depending on the type of stair lift you have—it will also cost more if you have a curved stair lift vs. a straight stair lift. Curved stair lifts often require more than one engineer to remove, raising the fee.
Generally speaking, yes, it is possible to move a stair lift to another home, although moving curved stair lifts can be costly and challenging since they are custom-built for individual stairways. Straight stair lifts are much simpler and usually can be moved to other straight staircases relatively easily and with the help of a local stair service pro.
Costs range from $2,000 to $10,000, depending on stairlift type and features. Custom or curved models typically cost more.
Every wheelchair platform lift is different—the brand and make that you choose will determine exactly what's included in your platform. All platform lifts have a platform, motor, electric drive, and ramp to help lift wheelchairs from one place to another. Some lifts are fully enclosed, while others are open. Your platform lift may have its own battery backup for times when there’s a power outage or plug into a power supply directly.
Installation typically takes 2-4 hours. Custom stairlifts may require additional time for fitting.
