Hey Weight Loss Nation...... I'm back! www.TheWeightLossNation.com I'm over this COVID thing! I've spent the last 14 months worrying, being scared, living an emotional roller-coaster, and ... EATING! I allowed FEAR and the UNKNOWN to control my life and my actions led me down a path of destruction. I gained almost ALL the weight I lost. I allowed FEAR to open the door to negative feelings, guilt and emotional eating. I battled childhood feelings over my father, who died this past March..... and COVID was the straw that broke the camel's back! I was despondent, afraid, lost and disgusted with myself. Then....... I spoke to a friend of mine named FRANK ATKINS. Frank is a spiritual coach, who deciphers biblical principals, in a language anyone can understand. Frank recently published his book, "Faith Without Religion." I congratulated Frank, and I told him I would purchase the book and give him a review on Amazon. When the book came, I looked at the cover and quickly flipped through the over 400 pages of text. I gave a quick "WOW" and put the book down on my coffee table. About a week later, I was bored. I was sitting on my recliner in my living room and I saw Frank's book sitting on the coffee table. I picked up the book and started reading. I was amazed that I was able to understand the biblical principals Frank was referring to. I was reading, I was understanding and...... I really liked it! I was learning about the Holy Spirit. Someone, I had originally thought was "something," and I had no idea what the "function" of the Holy Spirit was. As a person who was raised "Catholic," I thought the Holy Spirit was a flame of fire that came to the Apostles of Jesus on Pentecost Sunday. I thought that flame of fire was "the Holy Spirit." I spent the last 58 years of my life believing the Holy Spirit was a "flame of fire," who came to you and helped you learn a different language. Then.... reading Frank's book, I learned that wasn't the case. I learned that the Holy Spirit was part of the Holy Trinity. God .... showing himself in the form of a spirit, that lives inside each one of us, ready to guide us upon the asking. I realized, God had to be part of decisions in my life. Not just the big decisions, but the little..... EVERYDAY decisions I make. I needed to ASK God to guide me, to fill me with words, strength, love and faith.... to get back on my journey to a "Healthy Lifestyle." www.TheWeightLossNation.com And just like that, I felt the Holy Spirit inside of me, in my gut...say.... get back on the Weight Loss Nation Podcast. Tell people about the Holy Spirit..... complete the triangle. That was it! I have learned what to eat... how to move my body for exercise, but I have never filled the void for my mental health. I thought I did! I thought by meditating, listening to music, reading and all the other things I used to calm me and satisfy me would work. They did work......."TEMPORARILY." I was missing "SPIRITUAL" CLARITY. I was in control of everything in my life. I made all the decisions. I got angry at myself if things didn't work. I praised myself if things went great. But...... nothing seemed to stick "PERMANANTLY." Now.... I've found the Holy Spirit. Now.... I ask the Holy Spirit to guide me. I have given up control and put my "Faith" in the Holy Spirit. I give "thanks" to God for all the good things in my life and for giving me strength during the tough times. I know God is a loving God. He is a merciful God. He is a God of miracles. He is a healer. God wants to give me favor and he wants me to have all good things in my life on this Earth. God wants that for each of you too. All you have to do is BELIEVE! Do you believe in God? Do you believe Jesus Christ was sent to this Earth to die for us, so that each of our souls would be saved? If you have faith and believe ...... you WILL have everything you ever wanted and more from God! Give God a chance! You have been running your life all this time. Have you been 100% happy with your results? If you would give God a chance and have faith in the Holy Spirit, you will see change! Change for the better! Just ASK! Ask God to awaken the Holy Spirit inside of you. Thank God for having mercy on you for all the stupid things you have done in your life. Be remorseful! Now... have FAITH and ASK the Holy Spirit to GUIDE you on your journey to a "HEALTHY LIFESTYLE." EVERY morning, Thank God for another day to do good things. Another day to CONQUER Emotional Eating, so that you can eat to just FUEL your body. Ask the Holy Spirit to GUIDE you in eating healthy, to move your body for exercise and to PRAY by reading God's words in the Bible. I would suggest you read Frank Atkin's book - "Faith without Religion." You will understand the scriptures so much better. Let's walk with the Holy Spirit and allow him to GUIDE us on our healthy journey. You ALWAYS have the Holy Spirit, Jesus and God to turn to in your life. If you don't have family you can talk to, a friend you can talk to, or a professional you feel comfortable speaking to ...... TALK to GOD! God will always listen! If you have Faith in God, he will always answer you in some way. God LOVES YOU! God will never turn away from you. If you believe in God and you are sincerely sorry, God will always forgive you. God is WITH you ALWAYS. 24 hrs a day, 365 days a year. I want you to START your Healthy lifestyle journey right now! Ask the Holy Spirit to GUIDE you!

CMS SLAPS Humana With Hefty Civil Money Penalty

Hey Medicare Nation! Medicare Nation CMS Imposes a Civil Money Penalty against HUMANA! CMS conducted an "Audit" of Humana's Medicare Operations from June 3, 2019 through June 21, 2019. Humana failed to comply with Medicare requirements related to Part D formulary and benefit administration and coverage derterminations, appeals, and grievances in violation of 42 C.F.R. Part 423, Subparts C and M. Humana's failures in these areas were systemic and adversely affected, or had the substantial likelihood of adversely affecting, enrollees. CMS provided notice to Humana's CEO, Mr. Bruce Broussard, on February 28, 2020, that CMS imposed a Civil Money Penalty in the amount of ........ $257, 262! Humana failed to properly administer the CMS "transition" policy. This means if you are enrolling in a new plan, and you take a prescription that is NOT on the new plan's formulary (drug list), the plan MUST allow you to "transition" by allowing you a 31 day supply of your prescription drug. This allows you time to speak with your doctor to see if there is an alternative prescription drug on the new plan ...... or...... you can request a "Formulary Exception." This means your doctor is requiring you to take this medication, because it is the one that is stablizing or correcting your condition, and that you need to continue to take it. If the drug is NOT on the new plan's formulary and they Approve the formulary exception, you WILL be charged a higher amount for taking a drug that is not on their formulary. Humana has the right to appeal the decision by requesting a hearing. The notice is signed by John Scott, Acting Director of the Medicare Parts C and D Oversight and Enforcement Group. Medicare Nation NEXT CMS Penalty is given notice to......... SOLIS Health Plans out of Miami, Florida On December 4, 2019, CMS gave notice to Mr. Daniel Hernandez - CEO of Solis Health Plans. CMS imposed a CIVIL MONEY PENALTY of $41,552.00! CMS stated in their summary that Agents employed by SOLIS engaged in an aggressive marketing campaign that was conducted by a contractor provider clinic. Solis Agents conducted a marketing presentation in a secluded area and enroll patients upon conclusion of the presentation. CMS determined that Solis violated the communication and marketing requirements, which had the substantial likelihood of adversely affecting its enrollees. Solis Failed to oversee and manage the marketing process to ensure its agents and brokers did not engage in inappropriate marketing practices including "misleading" beneficiaries. Solis may request a hearing to appeal CMS's determination. Both notices are signed by John Scott, acting director of the Medicare parts C and D Oversight and Enforcement Group.

Switch from a Medicare Advantage Plan that doesn't offer drug coverage to a Medicare Advantage Plan that offers drug coverage. Switch from a Medicare Advantage Plan that offers drug coverage to a Medicare Advantage Plan that doesn't offer drug coverage. Join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan. Switch from one Medicare drug plan to another Medicare drug plan. Drop your Medicare prescription drug coverage completely I'm adding the EXACT language from the Medicare Managed Manual, regarding the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period. 30.5 – Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period (MA OEP) 42 CFR 422.62(a)(3) (Rev. 1, Issued: July 31, 2018; Effective/Implementation: 01-01-2019) During the MA OEP, MA plan enrollees may enroll in another MA plan or disenroll from their MA plan and return to Original Medicare. Individuals may make only one election during the MA OEP. This chart outlines who can use the MA OEP and when: Who can use the MA OEP: MA OEP occurs: Individuals enrolled in MA plans as of January 1 – March 31 New Medicare beneficiaries who are enrolled in an MA plan during their ICEP The month of entitlement to Part A and Part B – the last day of the 3rd month of entitlement Individuals may add or drop Part D coverage during the MA OEP. Individuals enrolled in either MAPD or MA-only plans can switch to: • MA-PD • MA-only • Original Medicare (with or without a stand-alone Part D plan) The effective date for an MA OEP election is the first of the month following receipt of the enrollment request. NOTE: The MA OEP does not provide an opportunity for an individual enrolled in Original Medicare to join a MA plan. It also does not allow for Part D changes for individuals enrolled in Original Medicare, including those enrolled in stand-alone Part D plans. The MA OEP is not available for those enrolled in Medicare Savings Accounts or other Medicare health plan types (such as cost plans or PACE). You may also go onto Medicare.gov to view information on the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period. If you decide to make a change during the MA OEP, you will be "locked-in" to the new plan, until the next enrollment period.... which is....the Annual Enrollment Period, from October 15th through December 7th. You may also make a change to your plan if you have a "special circumstance." These are listed under the "Special Election Periods" for Medicare on Medicare.gov You can also LISTEN to my previous show on Special Election Periods..... Episode 051, which was published on July 29, 2016. The episode is titled..... "Special Election Period Q & A" I go into detail about the Special Elections available. www.TheMedicareNation.com Remember Medicare Nation listeners........ an "Insurance Agent," is NOT allowed to "solicit" you during the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period. There are strict Medicare regulations regarding this. YOU must make the first move in contacting or telling your "Agent" or Medicare Specialist, that you are unhappy with your current plan. No one should be calling you, texting you, emailing you ..... or worse...... knocking on your door, telling you about the Open Enrollment Period. If someone does...... tell them to "Take a Hike!" You don't need a dishonest person like that helping you with your Medicare needs! If you need help finding a new plan during the OEP, contact you're Medicare Advisor.

Part D Prescription Drug Plan Info For 2020

Play Episode Listen Later Oct 4, 2019 34:05

Hey Medicare Nation! www.TheMedicareNation.com It's October! That means it's Medicare Time! The Annual Enrollment Period is just around the corner. Did you receive your "Annual Notice of Changes (ANOC)" for your Medicare Advantage Plan or Prescription Drug Plan? If not....contact your plan and request the ANOC. Today......I want to talk with you about Part D Prescription Drug Coverage for 2020! Medicare has set the maximum Part D Deductible for 2020 at $435.00. Medicare Advantage Plans and Stand-Alone Prescription Drug Plans have the option to charge the maximum deductible amount of $435.00...... or....... They can eliminate the Deductible altogether.... or...... They can charge an amount in between. You MUST do your "Due Dilligence" in determining which Prescription Drug Plan will fit your unique needs for 2020. Contact your Medicare Specialist and request their assistance in finding a Prescription Drug Plan for 2020. If you have a question about Medicare or your Prescription Drug Plan.... You can send me an email to Support@TheMedicareNation.com If I can answer your question in ONE Paragraph, I will answer your question! If I cannot ...... I will request you hire me as your consultant. I currently charge $199.00 an hour for my consultation services. I always do my best to answer your questions in ONE paragraph. The "initial coverage period (ICP)" for Part D, has a threshold of $4,020.00 When you hand in a prescription, the total amount of the prescription is applied towards the ICP. If you have a Deductible, that is applied towards the ICP too. When the total amount of your prescriptions reaches $4,020.00..... you will now enter a new phase called the "coverage gap." In this stage.... you will now pay 25% of generic drugs.... and you will pay 25% of brand name drugs. If you reach $5,018.75 you will enter the next stage, which is called.... The "Catastrophic Stage." In the Catastrophic Stage, you will now pay a 5% co-insurance or $3.60 for Generic Drugs..... or.... $8.95 for Brand or non-preferred Drugs.... which ever is a greater amount. You will remain in the Catastrophic Stage until your out-of-pocket spending reaches $6,350 or..... when the ball drops on New Year's Eve! I know prescription drugs can be very expensive! There are programs available for those of you with lower incomes. The program is called "Extra Help," or "Low Income Subsidy." To apply for Extra Help, go to the social security website - www.socialsecurity.gov/extrahelp If your individual income is less than $1,562 a month, you would qualify for the LIS program. If your income is more than $1,562 a month, but is less than $1,900 a month....APPLY! You have nothing to lose! All they can say is No! You can also appy for the "Medicare Savings Program" If you qualify, CMS will pay for your Medicare Part B Premium. Depending on your qualifications, CMS may pay your premium, deductible and co-insurance. Apply for the Medicare Savings Program here: https://www.medicare.gov/Contacts/#resources/msps Thank you for listening to Medicare Nation!

CMS Slaps Agewell NY With Civil Money Penalty

Hey Medicare Nation! www.TheMedicareNation.com Today, I'm discussing how the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) SLAPPED Agewell New York LLC with a Civil Money Penalty of $39,200! CMS conducts audits to ensure Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug Plans are following conditions of the current contract as well as Medicare rules & regulations. From March 9, 2018 through May 15, 2018, CMS Conducted an audit of Agewell's 2016 Medicare financial information. In a financial audit report issued on September 20, 2018, CMS auditors reported that Agewell failed to comply with Medicare requirements related to Part C (Medicare Advantage) cost sharing. Specifically, auditors found that in 2016 Agewell failed to comply with cost-sharing requirements by charging "incorrect" co-payments to enrollees for medical services. Enrollees were affected in the following area: Bronx, NY; Kings County Brooklyn, NY; Nassua County, NY, Manhattan, Queens and Westchester County, NY. Agewell's failure was "systemic," and "adversely affected" enrollees or the substantial likelihood of adversely affecting enrollees because they experienced out-of-pocket costs. CMS determined that Agewell was charging a $30 "specialist" co-pay was applied to "primary care physician" claims instead of a $0 co-pay as stated in the plan's Explanation of Coverage. Enrollees were NOT Refunded the overcharged amounts until AFTER the financial audit concluded, which was 2 years after the incurred cost. In 2016, If you paid a $30 co-pay to see YOUR Primary Physician, when you were only obligated to pay $0, you should contact Agewell at 888-586-8044 and ask to speak to a supervisor, regarding the CMS penalty. Advise the supervisor of the date & time of your appointment with your Primary Doctor and that you have proof of a payment that you made of $30 for your visit. Advise the supervisor that you would like to be refunded the $30 immediately. Write down the name of the supervisor, the date & time you called Agewell and what the supervisor stated Agewell would do for you. If you donot receive your refund within 14 business days, call Medicare directly at 800-633-4227 and advise Medicare of the situation. If you have any "complaints" regarding the way you were treated by any representative at Agewell, you can make an annonymous complaint to Agewell's confidential hotline - 888-336-7240. You can also make a complaint to Medicare directly by calling 800-633-4227. If you have a complaint, regarding any physician or facility in the Agewell network, you can call the Agewell confidential hotline to make your complaint - 888-336-7240. If you are uncomfortable making a formal complaint and you would like assistance with your complaint you can : 1. contact the Insurance Agent or Medicare Specialist who enrolled you into the Agewell plan or 2. contact your local "SHIP" (State Health Insurance & Assistance Program) representative by "clicking" on your State here - https://www.shiptacenter.org/ when the page opens, go all the way to the bottom of the page and you'll see an "orange" button that reads - Find Your Local SHIP "Click" on that ORANGE buton and a list will come up of all 50 States.

Make sure the chocolate has 80% of Cacao in it. I use Taza “Wicked Dark” Chocolate bar. Taza has one of the least processed Dark Chocolate in the friggin world. With the “Wicked Dark,” containing 95% Dark Chocolate, SWEET is NO longer in the equation. We’re talking HEALTHY HERE! Go to www.tazachocolate.com to purchase “Wicked Dark” Chocolate Bars. Dark chocolate gives you a variety of antioxidants including POLYPHENOLS!! Antioxidants help prevent damage in your body caused by oxidative stress and harmful free radicals. That means Dark Chocolate with 80% or more cacao….is part of our PAC MAN Family!! 1 15 oz can unsalted chickpeas BPA-free. BPA is that crap in the lining of cans that can get into your system. Causing toxicity and whatever. ¼ tsp cream of tartar 1 tsp vanilla extract Pinch of sea salt Fresh raspberries & optional coconut flakes to serve ¼ Cup of Raw, Unfiltered Honey (straight from the Bee’s Ass people!) (Buy LOCAL Raw, Unfiltered Honey. That’s the best for you. If you live near Savannah, GA you wouldn’t want to buy Raw, Unfiltered Honey from Oregon, because the honey from Oregon contains local pollen & nutrients from that area. If you live in Oregon, check out Raw Oregon Honey at www.raworegonhoney.com If you live near Savannah, GA you want raw, local honey that contains the local pollen & nutrients from your neighborhood. check out HL Franklin Honey at www.FranklinFoodsLLC.com Honey is made up of 38.2% of fructose, 31% glucose and only 1.3 % sucrose. Maple Syrup is basically 99.9 % sucrose. White table sugar, and brown sugar are also 99.9 % sucrose. Your body breaks down the “sugars” into Glucose. Since Sucrose is a “Di-Saccharied…the body has to break it down 2x in the body. Fructose is a mono-saccharide and is absorbed directly into the body, but it will need to be “converted” into Glucose by the Liver first. That’s why RAW…Unfiltered Honey is sooo good for you! The body isn’t working so hard to convert the molecules into Glucose! Preparation Chop dark chocolate and place in a double boiler, or in a glass bowl over boiling water on the stove. Gently melt chocolate, stirring every now and then until completely melted. Remove from heat and pour chocolate into a large bowl. Set aside to slightly cool. Drain chickpeas, reserving liquid aquafaba, and store chickpeas for another use. In a large bowl add in aquafaba (about ¾ cup should be reserved) along with cream of tartar. Using a hand mixer, mix on high speed for 7-10 minutes, or until soft peaks begin to form. Add in vanilla extract, salt, and raw honey and beat until mixed. Add ½ the melted chocolate to the whipped aquafaba and fold until incorporated. Fold in the remaining ½ aquafaba until smooth and combined. Gently spoon chocolate mousse into glasses, small mason jars, or ramekins. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Add some raspberries to serve. Enjoy!

Hey Medicare Nation! www.TheMedicareNation.com I'm not an expert on Reverse Mortgages......in fact, I don't know much about them.

MN089 What's The Difference Between Plan F & High Deductible Plan F

Play Episode Listen Later Apr 15, 2019 34:08

Hey Medicare Nation! www.TheMedicareNation.com More than 10,000 people a day are turning 65! While qualifying for Medicare Part A and Part B, Medicare Beneficiaries are VERY confused as to what type of plan to enroll in, to "supplement" Original Medicare. By zipcode, a Medicare Beneficiary may have over "100 Plans" to choose from to help supplement their Original Medicare. That's an ENORMOUS amount of research to do! If you have the time and enjoy doing all that research.......go for it! If you're like most Medicare Beneficiaries, you are retiring and you want to ENJOY LIFE! You don't want to "waste" time researching Medicare Plans. Call a "Medicare Consultant" or "Medicare Specialist" to assist you in finding the plan that will fit YOUR unique needs. How do you do that? "Google" "Medicare Consultant" or "Medicare Specialist" and add your city or zipcode to that search. As an example, you would search....Medicare Consultant Tampa FL......or........Medicare Specialist Dallas TX....... Google will then populate the "Ads" first. Businesses PAY to be on the top of the 1st page of Google. SCROLL down past the "ADS." Just because a business "Pays" for an ad DOES NOT mean they are the best option for you. You will start seeing local businesses and names of Medicare Specilaists. You should be checking out these "Brokers" and "Medicare Specialists" or "Medicare Consultants." I'm speaking specifically about Medi-Gap Plan F and the High Deductible F Plan. The Supplement F Plan to Medicare, is an Insurance Policy you take out on yourself. Medi-gap Plans are NOT part of Medicare. Medi-Gap Plans are an insurance policy that an Insurance Carrier sells to you. You are "purchasing" a policy, where you pay a monthly premium to the Insurance Carrier to protect some or all of your out-of-pocket costs associated with Medicare. Medi-Gap "F" Plan pays the out-of-pocket costs YOU are responsible for. The "F" Plan will pay your "medically necessary" out-of-pocket costs. Plan F pays for your Part A In-Patient Hospital Deductible. Plan F pays your co-pay for being in a Skilled Nursing Facility. Plan F pays your Annual Part B deductible and Plan F pays your 20% co-insurance under Part B. Plan F pays for all of this, for one monthly premium. ALL Medicare Plan F Plans have EXACTLY the same benefits. It doesn't matter if you live in Tampa, FL......San Francisco, CA.....or Salt Lake City, Utah.....The BENEFITS under Plan F are the SAME! What IS different..is the MONTHLY PREMIUM! In YOUR ZipCode.......there may be up to 50 DIFFERENT Insurance Carriers that offer Plan F....EACH one of those Insurance Carriers offer a DIFFERENT Premium for the SAME Plan F Plan. You should find the LOWEST Monthly Premium from the Insurance Carrier that has an "A" Financial Rating. An "A" financial rating means the company WILL pay your claims. That's the Insurance Carrier your looking for. Plan F is the "Peace of Mind" Medi-Gap Plan. There is NO Network of Doctors and Facilities....because......Plan F is NOT part of Medicare. Original Medicare has NO Network.....Original Medicare allows you to see ANY Doctor....or go to ANY Medical Facility in the U.S. that ACCEPTS Medicare! YOUR Health Insurance IS......Original Medicare.....NOT your Plan F! So.....if you're looking for a Medicare Supplement Plan that will cover ALL your Medicare Necessary out-of-pocket costs...Then Plan F is for you. Now.....let's take a look at the High Deductile F Plan. The High Deductible F Plan.....has a DEDUCTIBLE! For 2019.....the annual deductible is $2,300.00 That means......you WILL pay-out-of-pocket until......you reach the $2,300 DEDUCTIBLE. When you reach the $2,300 deductible, the plan will then pay all your "medically necessary" out-of-pocket costs that you are responsible for under Medicare, for the remainder of the calendar year. You will NOT pay the "Cash" price......you will be paying the Medicare Allowable price....BIG difference. If you go to a cardiologist, and the visit under Medicare, costs a total of $150, Medicare will pay 80% of that amount.... which is $120. you would pay the remaining 20%, which $30. You would continue to pay out-of-pocket until you reach $2,300. If you don't see many doctors or have any diagnostic tests, you will ONLY pay for the services you use. For a healthy person, this could be a very viable option. If you are a person with a chronic illness, let's say for example...Diabetes......Asthma.....or high cholesterol with high blood pressure.....this plan may NOT be a good choice for you. It's important for you to take into consideration your own health history, what medications you take, your financial status and what doctors you see, before enrolling in a Medicare Plan. Next time, I will go over the differences between Plan G and PLan N. If you are turning 65....or.....you are getting ready to come off of your employer plan and you need to figure out what Medicare Plan will suit your needs best..... Contact Me! Reach out to me by email - Support@TheMedicareNation.com or..... by phone....... (855) 855 - 7266. I will help you find the plan that fits YOUR unique needs.

Does Medicare Pay For Emergency Care While Traveling?

Play Episode Listen Later Mar 15, 2019 23:26

Hey Medicare Nation! www.TheMedicareNation.com It's almost Spring time! For many people, this has been a terrible winter. Many Medicare Nation listeners have been emailing me to find out if Medicare covers "Emergencies" while traveling across the U.S. or abroad. That's a great question! Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage Plans Do cover "Emergency Care" AND Urgent Care ANYWHERE in the United States and it's Territories. An "Emergency" is Life-Threatening. An example would be if you were having chest pain and you believed you were having a heart attack. In this situation.....you would go to the nearest hospital to seek emergency care. Even if it turns out you were diagnosed with "heart burn," Original Medicare AND Medicare Advantage plans will cover the medically necessary treatment for this situation because you believed you were in a "life-threatening" situation. "Urgent Care" is defined by Medicare as: Care that you get outside of your Medicare health plan's service area for a sudden illness or injury that needs medical care right away but isn’t life threatening. If it’s not safe to wait until you get home to get care from a plan doctor, the health plan must pay for the care. An "Urgent Care" example would be if you were walking in St. Peter's Square at the Vatican, and you slipped on a banana peel and fell onto the ground, breaking your ankle. That's an injury that isn't life threatening, but requires immediate medical care. So......if you are traveling ANYWHERE in the U.S. or it's Territories, AND you have an Urgent Care or Emergency situation.....you can go to the nearest hospital or Urgent Care Center to receive care AND it will be covered by Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage Plans. If you are traveling outside of the U.S. Medicare generally DOES NOT cover emergencies or urgent care needs. There are a few circumstances where Original Medicare WILL cover Emergency Care AND Urgent Care. www.TheMedicareNation.com 1. If you are on a CRUISE and you require EMERGENCY care from a doctor who is stationed on the ship while the ship is in a U.S. port.....Your Emergency Care WILL be covered by Original Medicare. 2. If the ship is Departing or Arriving to/from a U.S. port within 6 hours and you have a medical emergency and require to be treated by the ship's doctor......Your Emergency Care will be covered by Original Medicare. 3. If you are in Alaska and you are traveling directly to another State without unreasonable delay, and you require Emergency Care at a hospital in Canada, because it was the closest hospital at the time of the emergency......Your Emergency Care will be covered by Original Medicare. If you have a "Medicare Advantage Plan," you may have coverage for Emergency and/or Urgent Care Coverage on your plan. You must do your own due dilligence to understand the benefits of your plan while you are traveling abroad. Some Medicare Advantage Plans have a deductible for emergency care outside the U.S. Some Medicare Advantage Plans have a deductible and a co-pay for emergency care outside the U.S. There is an annual maximum out-of-pocket amount for your plan. Some are around $1,500.00 all the way up to $6,700.00 READ Your Plan's EVIDENCE OF COVERAGE Booklet. Some of you have "Medi-Gap" or Supplement to Original Medicare Plans. Plans "C" through "G" and also plan "M" and "N" have coverage for Emergency Care while traveling abroad. Some Medi-Gap plans have a deductible. Some plans have "Maximum Lifetime Amounts." It is important to READ your Medi-Gap Policy to determine coverage while traveling abroad. Travel Insurance www.TheMedicareNation.com I always recommend purchasing "Travel Insurance," while traveling abroad. I use these different websites to look for policies: 1. www.TravelGuard.com 2. www.AllianzTravelInsurance.com 3. www.TravelInsurance.com Cost will depend on - a. Total Cost of the Trip b. Your Age c. What country you're visiting d. Types of coverage you're adding (ex: Air evacuation, cancel for any reason etc.) If you have ANY questions, and I can answer your question in ONE paragrapn, send them to me by email. Support@TheMedicareNation.com If I need to do research or write more than one paragraph, I will let you know that I am available for a consultation to solve your problem at $150.00 an hour. Reach out to me.....I answer all emails personally! Thanks soo much for listening to Medicare Nation! I appreciate your time and I love to educate you on all things Medicare! Diane Daniels

Hey Medicare Nation! It's October! Lots of changes going on in the Medicare landscape. Social Security recently announced the 2019 COLA, and for those of you on Social Security and Social Security Disability, you will be receiving a 2.8% raise in your monthly check. Social Security raise goes into effect January 1, 2019. Social Securtiy Disbility goies into effect December 31, 2018. Some more good news is.....the payroll taxes for Medicare & Social Security are staying the same in 2019. Yeah!! The combined tax rate for Social Security & Medicare will remain at 7.65% in 2019 for employees. The combined tax rate for Self Employed will also remain the same in 2019 at 15.30% When Social Security authorizes a COLA raise, that is the signal that Medicare Part B Premiums may also rise. For 2019, that's exactly what happened. Let's take a look at the 2019 Medicare Premiums & Deductibles. Medicare Part A In 2019, the Medicare Part A Deductible for being an inpatient in the hospital is going up to $1,364.00 in 2019. This means, you will have an out-of-pocket deductible when you are admitted to the hospital as an inpatient, whether you stay for one night or sixty consequative nights. You will have to pay the $1,364.00 each time you are admitted to the hospital, unless you are readmitted to the hospital less than 60 days after you are discharged from the hospital and you are admitted for the exact same reason. SNF A Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) has 24hr Medical care and specializes in rehabilliation. A person who had a stroke may be transferred to a SNF, to rehab the loss of sensation in a limb or to improve speech. A person who recently had hip replacement surgery may be transferred to a SNF to strengthen their leg(s) and learn to walk with a proper gait. Under Medicare, the first twenty days in a SNF is a benefit with no co-pay. If a person is required to stay day 21 and up to 100 consequative days, the co-pay will be $170.50 per day in 2019, under Medicare Part A. Medicare Part B Every person, who is a member of Medicare Part B has a monthly premium. For those with an income below the Federal threshold, the Medicare Part B Premium is paid by that individual's State Medicaid Program. For individuals on Medicare Part B, whose annual adjusted gross income is $85,000.00 or less, filing as a single taxpayer, the 2019 Medicare Part B monthly premium will be $135.50 Here is the chart for Medicare beneficiaries with a higher income, who will pay a higher Part B Premium Monthly. Beneficiaries who file individual tax returns with income: who make Less than or equal to $85,000 $135.50 Married, filing joint returns & make less than or equal to $170,000 $135.50 Beneficiaries who file individual tax returns with income: who make Greater than $85,000 and less than or equal to $107,000 $189.60 Married, filing joint returns & make Greater than $170,000 and less than or equal to $214,000 $189.60 Beneficiaries who file individual tax returns with income: who make Greater than $107,000 and less than or equal to $133,500 $270.90 Married, filing joint returns & make Greater than $214,000 and less than or equal to $267,000 $270.90 Beneficiaries who file individual tax returns with income: who make Greater than $133,500 and less than or equal to $160,000 $352.20 Married, filing joint returns & make Greater than $267,000 and less than or equal to $320,000 $352.20 Beneficiaries who file individual tax returns with income: who make Greater than $160,000 and less than or equal to $500,000 $433.40 Married, filing joint returns & make Greater than $320,000 and less than or equal to $750,000 $433.40 Beneficiaries who file individual tax returns with income: who make Greater than or equal to $500,000 $460.50 Married, filing joint returns & make Greater than $750,000 $460.50 Medicare Part B Deductible Medicare has an Annual Part B Deductible. In 2019, the Part B deductible is going up to $185.00. After you pay your Part B deductible, you will then have to pay 20% of the Medicare Allowable for Part B services. If you are on a Medicare Advantage Plan, you probably didn't even know you had a Part B Deductible. The majority of Medicare Advantage plans absorb the Part B Deductible into their plan. The Majority of Medicare beneficiaries on a Medicare Advantage Plan do not have a Medical deducatible on their plan. I always say......"You Pay as you go." If you currently have a Medi-Gap Plan "F" or Plan "C", you also don't pay out of pocket for the Annual Part B Deductible. Things will change in 2020, for now.....everyone is good to go. The Medicare Annual Enrollment Period is here! If you have a question......Email it to me! If I can answer it in one paragraph....I will! If I have to do ANY kind of research, or my answer requires more than one paragraph....then you may need to hire me to consult with you.

CMS Announces 2018 Medicare Premiums MN078

Play Episode Listen Later Nov 18, 2017 33:36

Hey Medicare Nation! The Center For Medicare & Medicaid Services has finally announced 2018 Premiums and deductibles for Part A & Part B of Medicare. Just as I had anticipated...... CMS has increased the Part B premium in 2018. A hefty amount....I might add. The 2018 Part B Premium for 2018 will be $134.00. Over 50 Million Medicare beneficiaries were protected by the "held harmless" regulation in 2017. Those Medicare beneficiaries did not see an increase in their Part B Premium for 2017, since the Part B Premium increase of $134.00 was higher than the Social Security COLA (Cost of Living Adjustment) of .3%. When Social Security approved a 2% COLA (Cost of Living Adjustment) for 2018, that gave Medicare the "go ahead" to increase the Part B premium. As long as the Medicare Part B Premium is equal to or less than the Social Security COLA adjustment, the Part B Premium increase will go into effect. Such is the case for 2018. With a 2% COLA increase in Social Security benefits, the majority of Social Security beneficiaries will see an increase of about $24-$25 in their Social Security benefit checks. Those same Social Security beneficiaries, make up about 70% of the Medicare population. CMS planned this out perfectly! The majority of Medicare beneficiaries that make up the same 70%, currently pay about $109.00 for their Medicare Part B Premium. If you add $25 to $109.00, you get........ $134.00! CMS adjusted the amount to become $134.00, to be aligned with the remaining 30% of Medicare beneficiaries, who currently already pay $134.00 for their Part B Premium. Now the majority of Medicare beneficiaries will be paying $134.00 a month for their Part B Premium in 2018. It's not rocket science people. Medicare needs more money to stay solvent. When you take over 50 million people and add $25 a month in premiums.....that equates to BILLIONS of dollars A MONTH! Let's look at the remaining 2018 Deductibles: Part A Hospital Deductible - $1,340.00 per benefit period. In English.....that means you pay $1,340.00 each time you are admitted to the hospital as an inpatient. Whether you are an inpatient for one day or sixty days, you will pay a $1,340.00 deductible. That's an increase of $24.00 from 2017. If you need to remain in the hospital for over 60 consecutive days, you will pay $335.00 per day from days 61-90 of a hospitalization. If you require more than 90 consecutive days in a hospital, you can use your "lifetime reserve" days. You are given 60 lifetime reserve days. When you use a lifetime reserve day....it's gone....forever. Let's say you have a piggy bank that has 60 pennies in it. If you break open the piggy bank and take 1 penny out to use....you have 59 left in the bank. Works the same way for lifetime reserve days. Each lifetime reserve day you use, will cost you $670 per lifetime reserve day in 2018. An increase of $12. from 2017. Skilled Nursing Facility Medicare allows up to 100 consecutive days in a Skilled Nursing Facility. Days 1-20 as a inpatient in a Skilled Nursing Facility will cost you $0. Days 21-100 of extended care services in a Skilled Nursing Facility in the same benefit period will have a co-pay of $167.50 per day. If you require more than 100 consecutive days in a Skilled Nursing Facility, you are responsible for 100% of the charges. Part B of Medicare Aside from paying $134.00 a month for being a "member" of Medicare Part B, you will also have out-of-pocket costs when you use outpatient services. The annual deductible for Part B in 2018 will be $183.00. That is the same amount as 2017. There will be on increase in the Part B deductible. Once you pay your Part B deductible, you will be responsible for 20% of the remaining Medicare allowable charge....under Original Medicare. Let's say you had to visit a Cardiologist and the Medicare allowable charge was $100.00 Medicare would pay 80% of the $100.00 and you would pay the remaining 20%. So....Medicare pays $80 and you would pay $20. You will continue to pay 20% of all Medicare allowable charges under Part B. Advocacy Groups For Medicare Here are some national advocacy groups, fighting for your rights under Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Help the cause by volunteering or donating a few bucks to ensure the fight for your rights continue. National Committee to Preserve Social Security & Medicare The National Committee is dedicated to protecting Social Security and Medicare benefits for all communities and generations.

MN074 CMS Slaps Fallon Healthcare With Huge Civil Money Penalty

Play Episode Listen Later Jul 7, 2017 21:20

Hey Medicare Nation! Here I am bringing you yet another Medicare Advantage Plan Sponsor, being slapped by CMS, for failing to comply with Medicare requirements related to Part C (Medicare Choice) and Part D (Medicare Prescription Drug Plans). Today, I will be discussing the CMS Civil Money Penalty (CMP) that was imposed on Fallon Community Health Plan. On June 29, 2017, a letter was issued to Mr. Richard Burke, the President and CEO of Fallon Community Health Plan, from Vikki Ahern, Director of the Medicare Parts C and D Oversight and Enforcement Group. The letter was written relating to a "Notice of Imposition of Civil Money Penalty for Medicare Advantage-Prescription Drug Contract Numbers: H2411, H2470 and H9001. Summary of Noncomplliance CMS conducted an audit of Fallon's Medicare operations from February 16, 2016 through February 26, 2016. In the audit report issued on July 20, 2016, CMS auditors reported that Fallon failed to comply with Medicare requirements related to...."Part C and Part D organization/coverage determinations, appeals and grievances in violation of 42 CFR" (Code of Federal Regulations). The audit report lists the exact subsections of 42 CFR that were violated The letter goes on to state....Fallon's failures in these areas were systemic and resulted in enrollees inappropriately experiencing delayed or denied access to benefits and/or increased out-of-pocket costs. CMS made a determination to impose a civil money penalty (CMP) for Fallon's failure to comply, in the amount of $344,100.00. That's a BIG fine! Fallon Comunity Health Plan was founded in 1977. They have a product portfolio of group and individual health plan options. Fallon also has a Senior Care Services Division, oversees all products, programs and solutions which focus on the senior population. If you are a member of a Fallon Medicare Advantage Plan and you have questions regarding your plan, I would call the Senior Care Services Division. The number is - 800-868-5200. If you are a current member of a Fallon Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug Plan, your benefits are intact and working for you. The $300,100 CMP was issued due to the incorrect classifications of "grievances", "organization determinations" for Part C complaints or "coverage determinations" for Part D complaints by members. These incorrect classifications resulted in members not receiving the required level of review, and/or experiencing delayed access to medically necessary or life-sustaining treatments. How does something like this happen, you may ask? Insufficient training of Fallon customer representatives and agents. Employers like Fallon, need to ensure their employees are properly trained in CMS Medicare Advantage Plan and Medicare Part D regulations as well as Fallon's Medicare Health Plans and benefits. Train your employees Fallon! Fallon needs to ensure their employees are competent and complying with Medicare rules & regulations relating to Medicare Advantage Part C and Medicare Part D. What Should You Do if You or Your Parent(s) are on a Fallon Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug Plan? Pay attention to your MONTHLY Explanation of Benefits (EOB) letter. Look the document over and ensure all the prescriptions you filled that month are correct! Look and make sure the provider(s) listed on your EOB are doctors or facilities you visited. Ensure any treatments or diagnostic tests were ones you actually did! If you find a discrepancy, call Fallon customer service to notify them of it. A Fallon customer service rep should be able to assist you with this issue. If Fallon customer service is unable to assist you or if they refuse to assist you, you have two good options: 1. Call your Medicare Agent or Medicare Advisor. They enrolled you in the Fallon Medicare plan and should be a liaison between you and Fallon. 2. Call Senior Medicare Patrol. Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) is an awesome resource that is available to you for free! SMP Volunteer's are seniors and understand what you're going through. They are trained to investigate or notify the agency who can investigate, suspicious or fraudulent charges on your EOB statement. Go to the SMP website to find an SMP location near you: www.SMPresource.org If you believe you were denied coverage or delayed in receiving your benefits, you have a right to appea Ask your Medicare Agent or Medicare Advisor to assist you and explain your options. Your coverage and benefits are intact and not in danger at Fallon Health Plan. Fallon has the right to appeal the CMS CMP by August 29, 2017. We'll see what happens. In the meantime, due your due-dilligence and monitor your EOB statements no matter which Medicare Advantage or Medicare Prescription Drug Plan you are on. Report any discrepancies or suspicions right away. I am available for consultations if you feel you have been denied a claim or your benefits were delayed due to an incorrect classification. I also can initiate a reconsideration appeal for Part C claims or a redetermination appeal for Part D claims. Contact me at Support@TheMedicareNation if you'd like me to consult with you. Thank you for listening to Medicare Nation! I appreciate you taking the time to learn more about Medicare and Medicare Plans. Help your parents and grandparents learn about Medicare, by showing them how to gain access to the Medicare Nation Podcast! Questions about Medicare or your Medicare Plan you need answered?

7 Things You Can Do TODAY to Grow Your Following TODAY'S SHOW IS SPONSORED BY... The Biz Women Rock ELITE! The most powerful community built for growth-obsessed business women! Become a member today and get immediate access to targeted education and a sisterhood of women who are just as dedicated as you are and who are here on this journey with you! Become a member today --> http://bizwomenrock.com/elitemembership *** Most of the questions I receive from the amazing women of the Biz Women Rock community can be distilled down to this one question: How do I make more money? My answer: Get more clients/customers to pay for your product or services. How to I get more clients/customers? My answer: First step: build a community of individuals who know, LOVE and trust you! How do I grow my community? (or “build my following?”) My answer: Do any ONE of these 7 things today! 1. Ask Your Current Community Members to Share This simple call to action is so often overlooked! Get onto the platforms you currently have – your Facebook Group, your email list, your Instagram profile, your podcast, your blog, your YouTube channel – and ask your community members to share about you! This can sound like… [Podcast] “If you loved this episode and got value out of it, I would appreciate you sharing it with one other person who you think would benefit from it!” [Facebook Group] “Hey ladies! I am loving these conversations in here! If you know of other amazing business women who would benefit from being a part of this incredible group, go invite them to join! Just give them this link! Together, we can ROCK the world!” [Blog] “If you enjoyed this article, go ahead and share it with others who would benefit!” Get the idea? Those who love you and are already a part of your community are super happy to share about you…they just need reminding every now and again and to be given an EASY way to do it! 2. Pitch Yourself to Be a Guest on a Podcast As a podcaster, I have an inside view on how POWERFUL this medium is for visibility! You don’t have to be a podcaster to be featured on other podcasts. Just work backwards…what podcasts are out there that attract your ideal avatar? Do you happen to have any connections with any of those hosts? If yes, go ask them if they’re open to new guests on their show and that you’d love the opportunity to provide value to their audience. If not, start sending some emails and messages to pitch the hosts. (extra resource: my good friend Jessica Rhodes of Interview Connections has some great info on how to pitch to get yesses! http://www.interviewconnections.com/). And think outside the box…I was just a guest on my good friend Diane Daniels’ podcast Weight Loss Nation (http://theweightlossnation.com), sharing my story of overcoming food addiction and how I achieve ultimate health and fitness happiness. It’s totally not my usual topic of conversation and doesn’t really have anything to do directly with business (my normal “zone of genius”), but a) I really felt like my story could be valuable to her community and b) there may be high driving business women who are listening! As my friend Danny Peña of Gamertag Radio says, “you never know who’s listening!” 3. Write a Killer Email/Blog Post and Post It On Social Media Visibility is important…marketing is the lifeblood of your business. But CONTENT IS STILL KING. Meaning, you can shout all you want into the world, but if you don’t have good content for others to read, listen to or watch when their eyes point your way, all of it is for nothing. So, take some time to write a fantastic email and blog post (by the way…efficiency tip…one can always be turned into the other). Send it out and share it on social media. If you mention others in it, tag them to bring them into to conversation! Maybe even tap on the shoulders of a few community members to have them share it (go back to #1!). 4. Personally Share Relevant Content With Individuals Who Would Benefit When you write an awesome blog post or create a great podcast episode or upload a cool YouTube video, personally reach out to a few people who you know would directly benefit from it. Maybe someone in your community just posted in your group about a challenge they’re having and your content addresses that issue. Reach out and share it with them, letting them know you thought it would be helpful in light of their recent post. 5. Reach Out to a Media Source in Your Niche and Offer Yourself as a Resource Think of 2-3 media sources in your niche who attract your ideal avatar. Reach out to them and offer yourself as a resource. Maybe that means offering to write helpful blog posts or talking to them about offering your podcast or YouTube channel as a regular resource for their readers. Maybe that means bringing them onto YOUR platform so you can give them exposure. This is a strategic ways to get a lot of eyes on you! 6. Do a Facebook LIVE! Think of the top 3 questions your avatar asks you all the time. Answer each of these 3 questions and boom! You’ve got yourself a 3 part Facebook Live series! Get in front of the camera and share your knowledge! Do this from your Facebook Page and/or your personal Facebook profile because when you do, people will watch and share! Facebook Live tips: 1) write in the copy of the Facebook Live what the video is all about…I’m not going to watch your video if I can’t see what it’s about and whether it’s relevant to me or not. 2) Write AND SAY a call to action! Give people a link so they can find out more about you or get access to something that you’re talking about! If not a link, tell them to comment or sent you a direct message! 3) Do NOT hesitate to get in front of the camera. Still sweaty from a workout? Hair all messy? No makeup? Who cares! Get over it and press record…your community WANTS to see you REAL. (I know my good friend Dana Goldstein of Chic Flicks would agree - http://chicflicks.com). 7. Connect With Those Who Follow Other Influencers in Your Niche (ie. your ideal avatar) Go into Instagram (or Twitter or Facebook or LinkedIn…whatever you like). Go follow someone else who is an influencer in your industry. Someone else who has a brand that attracts your ideal avatar. Then, check out who follows THEM. Go down the list and start following those who look like they would also love your brand. Note: While this may seem a little “smarmy,” it’s not. Not as long as you are simply CONNECTING with these folks…not directly spamming them. Not putting them on a list and then sending crap to them they never asked for. All you’re doing is strategically opening up the opportunity to get to know them better on social media!

Hey Weight Loss Nation! On Today's show...... I am highlighting the one, the only....Black Bean! www.TheWeightLossNation.com If you are ready to "finally" lose weight and keep it off forever, you need to "join Weight Loss Nation." You know the adage....."It takes a village to raise a child." The concept is the same with weight loss! Would you rather continue "yo-yo dieting" by yourself and not be able to go out to a restaurant with friends, since you know you will "struggle" with food choices? Lose weight only to gain it back again? Or....... Would you like to be part of a "community" of people who are just like you and will be there to support you every single day! Weight loss Nation is comprised of experts in the fields of Nutrition, Mindset, Movement, Yoga, Pilates, Cross Fit, Fitness, Meditation, Emotional Eating and Post Traumatic Stress! When you become a member of Weight Loss Nation, you have access to these experts to answer your questions! Weight Loss Nation Members* have access to recipes, cooking videos and exercise videos. Our Private Facebook Forum is a "no judgement zone," where you can feel safe and comfortable in sharing your comments and feelings. So.....what are you waiting for? Go to www.TheWeightLossNation.com and take the life-long journey with me and finally lose the weight forever! You know the saying....... "Beans, Beans....they're good for your heart. The more you eat, the more you fart." Black Beans are soooooo healthy for you! Black beans are Legumes. Legumes are simply dry fruit contained inside a “pod.” Common examples of Legumes are – Peas, beans, peanuts and alfalfa. Black beans contain good amounts of calcium & phosphorous, which play an important role in bone structure. Black beans also contain a high amount of Iron and some zinc, which play very important roles in maintaining strength of the bones and the elasticity of the joints. Black Beans are a great food choice for those of you with High Blood Pressure and Diabetes. Watching your sodium intake is important. Every time you add extra salt to your plate, by “shaking” the salt shaker, you are increasing your chance of being diagnosed with High Blood Pressure. Boiling your own Black Beans is the best way to cook them. Rinse the beans well in a collander, before cooking them. They have “0 mg” of salt that way. They also contain high amounts of Calcium, Potassium & some Magnesium – which have been found to decrease blood pressure naturally. If you prefer to use “canned” Black Beans, they do contain salt. About 400mg per cup, as a matter of fact! Before heating up canned Black Beans or adding them to your salad, you should pour the can into a strainer and rinse the beans real good. This will wash away much of the sodium content from the juices in the can. If you have Diabetes, high-fiber foods will help lower your blood glucose levels. Black Beans do just that with a whopping 15gms of fiber in one cup! Fiber is also known to lower the total amount of cholesterol in the blood, which helps decrease the risk of heart disease. Black Beans have a good amount of Vitamin B6 & Folate, which prevent a large buildup of homocysteine in the blood. Homocysteine is an amino acid that is produced in the body. The body uses homocysteine and can change it for use in other amino acids, with the help of Vitamin B6, B12 & Folate (aka Folic Acid). If you don’t get enough Vitamin B6, B12 & Folate from your foods, homocysteine levels will increase because it cannot be used or changed into amino acids. The high levels of homocysteine can increase the risk of clots, which can travel to your brain and cause a stroke. The clot can also travel and get stuck in your lungs, which is called a pulmonary embolism. High levels of homocysteine can also damage the lining of arteries. People who have high homocysteine levels in their blood are also at risk for coronary artery disease. The high level of Folate and Vitamins B6 and B12 in Black Beans, help keep the homocysteine level in the blood at normal levels, which allows the homocysteine to be used properly in the body as an effective amino acid. Eating Black Beans, lentils and green-leafy vegetables are all high in Folate and have good sources of Vitamin B6 and B12. Black Beans also contain quercetin & saponins, which also protect your heart. Quercetin is a “natural”anti-inflammatory, which reduces the risk of ArtheroSclerosis and Quercetin protects against the damage to your blood vessels caused by low-density-lipoprotein (LDL Cholesterol) the BAD Cholesterol. A simple blood test can determine the level of homocysteine in your blood. I recently had my annual exam with my Primary Physician and checking the level of homocysteine in my blood was part of a series of blood tests. The “normal” reference range of homocysteine from the lab test I was given, is less than 10.4. My result was 8.1 Excellent…. My Doctor told me! My Vitamin B12 level was “Excellent,” for the 1st time in MY LIFE! My Vitamin B6 & Folate Levels were also “Excellent.” Knowing that my homocysteine level and Vit B6, Vit B12 & Folate levels were EXCELLENT….. I KNEW my Cholesterol levels had to be good too! In fact….. my Cholesterol results were also “EXCELLENT.” Eating Fruits & Vegetables are part of my daily meal plan. I eat an abundance of Spinach, Arugula, Kale, Lentils & Black Beans! I also eat lots of Strawberries, Blueberries, Apples & Red Grapes. No wonder my Blood Tests were awesome! I am taking “EXCELLENT” care of MY BODY! You should too! I have said on many episodes that reducing “inflammation” to your blood vessels organs and cell walls is sooooooo important to optimal health. Black Beans contain the mineral “selenium” which prevents inflammation in your body….. is a mini-Pac Man! That means the selenium helps your cells go after and “attack” free radical cells in your body, that are known to cause cancer and even detoxify some cancer causing compounds in your body. I LOVE eating foods that help my body make Pac Man cells …… which are continuously protecting my cells against cancer and other illnesses! Black Beans have an awesome amount of fiber. Fiber increases the sensation of being “Full.” When you’re feeling “Full,” you don’t eat…… because your appetite decreases! Fiber also helps your Digestive System by “Bulking Up” the content in your intestines and helps with regularity in moving your bowls! Finally, Black Beans contain “Starch” which is a complex carbohydrate. Complex Carbs are “slowly digested,” which prevents blood sugar “spikes.” Black Beans are therefore “Low” on the Glycemic Index There you go Nation! Black Beans are Excellent for your overall health! Friday, I will be giving you an awesome recipe with Black Beans to help you incorporate Black Beans into your lifestyle! Thank you for taking the time to listen to today's episode!

Welcome, Medicare Nation! Today’s guest is Lee Silverstein, who is a colon cancer survivor. Lee is here to discuss the risks, prevalence, and treatments for this disease. Colorectal cancer is the most commonly diagnosed but also the most preventable through proper screening. The American Cancer Society estimates that 95,000 people will be newly diagnosed with colon cancer in 2016. Over their lifetimes, 1 in 21 men and 1 in 23 women will be diagnosed! Colon cancer is clearly not “the old man’s disease” that many of us have been led to believe. Let’s hear Lee’s amazing story! Why has colon cancer become so widespread for people under age 40? “Over the last few years, the rates for diagnosis have remained steady, with a huge increase in the number of cases in people under age 40. It is scary, alarming, and unexplainable by doctors. I recently attended a conference on colon cancer and met a newly diagnosed 23-year-old. The common risk factors are being overweight, a lack of physical activity, a diet rich in red meat, heavy smoking and alcohol use. Keep in mind that you can have NONE of these risk factors and still be diagnosed with the disease, like what happened to me.” Would you mind telling our Medicare Nation listeners your personal story? “Not at all—I would love to share my story. I had NO risk factors and had just turned 50, living a very health-conscious life. I exercised regularly and was eating smart. I had a colonoscopy in March 2011, and the doctor couldn’t get the scope where he needed it to go. I wasn’t alarmed, but received a call from the doctor two days later saying I had a tumor in my transverse colon. This colonoscopy saved my life!” Would you share what your treatment was? “I had colon cancer and needed to have the tumor removed; the surgeon was confident that he could remove it all. My cancer was classified as Stage 2, which meant it was borderline as to whether there were benefits to undergoing chemotherapy. I got three opinions and determined that the benefits of chemo did NOT outweigh the risk. My follow-up exam included a CT scan and bloodwork, which showed a small spot on my liver. A biopsy was ordered and showed that my colon cancer had spread to my liver, even though it was a small spot and slow-growing. Surgery was recommended and chemotherapy. I went to Sloan-Kettering, which was the hospital I had been treated at as a child when I had a rare kidney cancer. The liver surgeon there was confident that I would be fine. Surgery was scheduled for January 2013 and I finished chemo treatments in August. In 2014, two small spots on my lungs were discovered. The doctor suspected that it was colon cancer that had metastasized to my lungs. He wanted to treat it with SBRT, a cyberknife-type targeted radiation procedure. In normal radiation, low doses are given over a wide area over a long period of time, with damage to the surrounding tissue. In this procedure, pinpointed high doses are given over a short time. I had the treatment with no side effects, and was even able to continue training for a race. The one spot disappeared and the other shrunk significantly. I’m not cancer-free, but I am stable. The goal of colon cancer treatment is to make it a chronic manageable disease.” Can you tell Medicare Nation listeners about the Colon Cancer Alliance? “I found this organization when I was first diagnosed. They are the largest patient support non-profit organization for colon cancer, based in Washington, DC. They do research and provide online support.” Medicare provides several levels of preventive care and testing for colon cancer: Barium enema is allowed every 24 or 48 months, depending on the risk. Colonoscopy is allowed every 120 or 48 months, depending on the risk. Fecal blood tests are allowed every 12 months. Flexible sigmoidoscopy is allowed every 48 months for people over 50. Multitargeted DNA test is allowed every 3 years for people aged 50-85. This is a new test with many stipulations. Plans, coverage, and co-payments differ. Some procedures are free, but related surgical procedures (like to remove polyps) are NOT free. Tell our listeners about your podcast. “I started The Colon Cancer Podcast about a year ago. I interview survivors, caregivers, and medical professionals. We share stories of struggle, hope, and survival in the face of colorectal cancer.” Tell us about the “Undie Run.” “These are 5K events sponsored by the Colon Cancer Alliance. We run around in our underwear! Events are held 2-3 times each month, in different cities around the country from February through October. The events are to raise funds and raise awareness of the disease.” Resources: www.ccalliance.org 877-422-2030 Find the Facebook group: Blue Hope Nation Special Bonus!

Alternative and Holistic Medical Resources Are you interested in obtaining some alternative viewpoints and information for your healthcare? In my experience you really have to tread lightly when entering the land of holistic medicine. There is a lot of pseudo-science lurking in the shadows, but there is also some good information to be found. MedlinePlus has an excellent section on complementary and integrative medicine you should check out. What is integrative medicine? It is healing oriented medicine that includes the whole person, body, mind and spirit, including one's lifestyle. This site provides a common-sense look at alternative medicines and provides some good guidelines for determining what may work for you. The National Institute of Health and Human Services also has a website providing a ton of information on alternative and integrative health covering all the topics from A-Z and help with finding a practitioner.
