Joe Anderson, CFP® and Big Al Clopine, CPA tackle one of the trickiest timing questions in retirement planning, today on Your Money, Your Wealth podcast number 553: when should you convert to Roth, while you're still earning, or after retirement? First, James from Texas wonders if it's worth maxing out his high-fee 457 plan, or if he's better off investing in a low-cost brokerage account. Full-time travelers "Lois and Clark" want to know how much they should keep converting to Roth now that they're on Medicare. Ray Charles in Chicago is burned out on corporate life and plans to quit at 55. Is that the perfect time for him to start Roth conversions? And finally, Gun and Rose from Louisiana ask if borrowing again from their 401(k) is a smart move.

As more practices begin offering screening services, questions around billing for Medicare-specific G codes are becoming more common.

With the annual trend of fluctuating reimbursement rates, have you been on the fence about turning your OBL into an ASC? Make sure your OBL is prepared for the surprising changes in coding coming in 2026. In this episode, Dr. Mary Costantino partners with fellow OBL owner Dr. Goke Akinwande and revenue cycle management expert Laurie Bouzarelos to review the new CPT code changes and how they translate to OBL and ASC reimbursement.---SYNPOSISDr. Akinwande discusses many positive takeaways after diving into the recent Medicare documents, and highlights key shifts. He believes these changes to add-on codes and territories means one thing: CLI is being heard. The upcoming code changes improve delineation of vascular territories, differentiating between "simple" (stenosis) and "complex" (CTO) procedures. These changes are aimed at rewarding physicians performing the difficult CLI work while decreasing reimbursement for more straightforward cases.Beyond the CPT code specifics, the conversation also covers real-world implications for OBL owners. Dr. Akinwande explains why these changes might narrow the reimbursement gap between OBLs and ASCs, prompting him to warn against ASC conversion. Laurie Bouzarelos provides guidance on implementation, stressing the importance of updating charge masters, reviewing payer contracts for "gap fill" clauses, and monitoring payments once the new codes go live. The episode ends with a discussion on obstacles in billing, collections, and the need for physicians to master the business side of their practice to ensure financial success.---TIMESTAMPS00:00 - Introduction04:37 - 2026 CPT Changes Overview07:18 - Simple vs. Complex Codes13:16 - Key Add-on Codes19:52 - OBL vs. ASC Conversion?24:56 - IVL Reimbursement Trends29:18 - Update Your Charge Master41:41 - Pricing & Medicare Year46:39 - Billing & Collections Reality

In this episode of The Daily Windup, we dive deep into America's fiscal reality check — and it's not pretty. Federal spending is now 53% higher than before the pandemic, with annual deficits exceeding $2 trillion. The interest alone on the national debt has reached $1 trillion, surpassing the Pentagon's entire budget and soon to overtake Medicare. My guest explains why both parties are trapped in a cycle of permanent tax cuts and permanent spending, creating what economists call a "structural deficit" — a fiscal hole that's now too big to close painlessly. We explore what happens if a recession hits while the government's already drowning in debt — and who's really going to pay the price when the cuts come. Key Takeaways: Federal spending is up 53% since before the pandemic, with deficits stuck near $2 trillion a year. Interest on the debt ($1 trillion) now costs more than the Pentagon and soon Medicare — a true structural deficit. Spending cuts will hit lower-income Americans hardest, while tax extensions and interest costs keep the system locked in debt.

From the skyrocketing costs of drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy to the moral and economic debate over obesity as a disease, Michael explores both sides of this billion-dollar question: "Should Congress mandate Medicaid to cover weight-loss medications like GLP-1s?" Listen to his take, then vote on today's poll at smerconish.com. He also revisits yesterday's poll question on the political buzz around Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, and the 2028 race — plus some media mayhem from New York's mayoral contest.

“It's kind of a miracle, frankly,” says Dr. John Buse, a distinguished professor at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, referring to the effectiveness of GLP-1 receptor agonist medications such as Ozempic in treating type 2 diabetes, promoting significant weight loss, and reducing cardiovascular risk. As a physician scientist for the last three decades at UNC, Dr. Buse has played a key role in ushering in this new era of diabetes care, leading or participating in over 200 clinical studies on this class of drugs and others. “Nothing has impacted diabetes care like the GLP-1 receptor agonists. I have lots of patients whose diabetes was never well controlled who have seen all their metabolic problems essentially resolved.”  In this fascinating conversation with Raise the Line host Lindsey Smith, Dr. Buse not only explains how these drugs work, but also provides a clear-eyed look at side effects, and addresses issues of cost and access. Join us for the remarkable story – including the role played by Gila monsters -- behind one of the biggest developments in medicine over the past several years from a world renowned diabetes researcher and clinician. Mentioned in this episode:UNC School of Medicine If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

How much hope should we read into the fact that Democratic establishment politicians are now publicly rebuking AIPAC donations? Is the pivot to anti-oligarchy messaging real?

Between new developments on a rebate pilot program, discussions of possible cuts to Medicare payment for 340B drugs, and new action in states nationwide, this fall has been a jam-packed season for 340B. We sit down with 340B Health President and CEO Maureen Testoni to break down the latest.Questions Remain About January's 340B Rebate Pilot After the Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) released 340B rebate pilot program guidance over the summer, all nine manufacturers of the 10 drugs subject to Medicare price caps applied to HRSA to implement rebates for the drugs starting in January. Testoni says we expect to find out which plans are approved in early November, as drugmakers need to give eight weeks of notice so covered entities can prepare for the change. Testoni says questions remain about the rebate pilot, but information that the drugmakers' rebate vendor has released so far provides enough detail for hospitals to start preparing for both rebates and price caps.Potential Medicare Cuts Expected To Target 340B HospitalsEarlier this year, the Trump administration released an executive order directing the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to survey hospitals on drug acquisition costs with the goal of using the results to set payment rates for Medicare Part B drugs starting in 2027. Testoni says she is concerned the proposed survey will lead to CMS targeting only 340B drugs for cuts that could bring payment rates down to actual acquisition costs, which would be a steeper cut than what the agency imposed during the first Trump administration.States Keep Moving on Contract Pharmacy Protections, 340B MandatesNearly 20 states have contract pharmacy protection laws in place and a small number of drugmakers have sued to block all these statutes. But Testoni says so far, courts have denied those requests and the laws have stayed in effect despite significant opposition advocacy by drugmakers. An increasing number of states also have enacted laws requiring 340B hospitals to report substantial data on their 340B costs and savings, and some are looking to limit how hospitals can use those savings.Resources:Senate Hearing Features Both Bipartisan Support for 340B and Calls for ReformsRead Our Comments on CBO's 340B Growth ReportReview Our 340B Rebate Pilot and IRA ResourcesBeacon Shares New Details on 340B Rebate Pilot Implementation

In this episode we answer emails from Eva, Jess and Mr. Toxic.  We discuss the three levers of safe withdrawal rates applied to a listener's upcoming retirement situation, running test risk parity style portfolios to get some practice like with have done with Bigger Pockets money, and what little we know about HSAs.And THEN we our go through our weekly portfolio reviews of the eight sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.Additional Links:Father McKenna Center Donation Page:  Donate - Father McKenna CenterHow To Do An Asset Swap Video from Risk Parity Chronicles:  How to Do an Asset SwapJackie Cummings Koski on Investing with HSAs:  Investing With The Health Savings Account - Define Your Legacy W/ Jackie Cummings KoskiBigger Pockets Money Test Risk Parity Style Portfolio:  We Built a 5% SWR Retirement Portfolio Using Fidelity in 48 Minutes (Golden Ratio Portfolio)Breathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:Most retirement plans stumble not on math, but on mechanics. We sit down with a listener who's 55, VTI-heavy in a taxable account, and ready to pivot into a modified golden ratio portfolio—then unpack a practical path to move from concentration to resilient diversification without lighting up a massive tax bill. Along the way, we map out the three levers that quietly raise your safe withdrawal rate: portfolio design, baseline expenses, and personal inflation that often runs 1–2% below CPI.We get specific on asset location and reallocation: placing treasuries and managed futures in tax-deferred accounts, using gold and equities where they're most tax-efficient, and gradually trimming VTI by targeting favorable tax lots and capital gains brackets. If you've wondered whether a small cap value tilt can help, we explain how it can reduce volatility and lift a portfolio's historical withdrawal capacity by roughly 0.5–1%—and how to pursue it at a measured pace. We also clear up a common confusion: rebalancing returns you to your target mix; reallocating changes the target itself.Then we turn to HSAs. They're a triple tax-advantaged powerhouse for you, but a poor inheritance vehicle for kids who must recognize the balance as income in a single year. We break down the strategy of saving receipts, the shift at age 65 when non-medical withdrawals are IRA-like, and why timing HSA spending for higher-income retirement years often makes sense. Don't count on a costly end-of-life to “use it up”—many don't have that trajectory. A smarter approach draws down the HSA earlier for qualified costs and Medicare premiums while avoiding a tax bomb for heirs.We wrap with weekly portfolio reviews across classic and levered models and a reminder that simple beats clever: a resilient allocation, tax-savvy placement, and flexible spending can carry you from early retirement through Social Security and beyond. If this helped tighten your plan, follow the show, leave a review, and share it with a friend who's staring down a VTI-heavy portfolio and wondering where to start.Support the show

Episode 360 of RevolutionZ has Larry Cohen, former president of the 600,000 strong Communication Workers of America and current board chair of Our Revolution who has spent five decades organizing workers and pushing democratic reforms inside and outside the Democratic Party to assess No Kings and explore possible future directions for it and of resistance to Trump's fascist agenda. Larry emphasizes the need to organize across differences, to change the rules that block action, and to deliver material wins that build trust. He reveals how the No Kings mobilization surged and what it will take to convert mass turnout into durable power. He names the real opponent—the oligarchy that spans billionaires, technocrats, and captured politicians—and shows how Senate procedures, a monarchic judiciary, and dark money in primaries stop popular policies from getting passed. Instead of living forever on defense, he talks offense: defund the oligarchs, fund the people. Cut bloated military spending, expand early childhood education, long-term care, and health coverage. Enforce bargaining rights so Starbucks and Amazon can't stall contracts for years. Take concrete steps toward Medicare for All by lowering eligibility and slashing administrative waste.But the discussion also addresses the prospects and methods of immediate organizing and protest. Youth, minority, and labor participation. A weekday No Kings. A trajectory from five-minute stoppages to national strikes. Campus feeder marches into No Kings outpourings. All to evidence and rebuild the muscle of collective action.Larry explains from his own experiences at every level from precincts and union struggles to revealing conversations with Barack Obama the horrid flaws and important potentials of electoral activism. He describes how to engage without contempt union members who voted for Trump by focusing on efficacy and tangible gains. He discusses the difference between Trump getting many (horrible) things done. Action. And Democrats getting little to nothing done. Abdication. He points to Obama squandering electoral support and a supportive Senate and House with do-nothingism. And he digs into party reform: blocking dark and corporate money from primaries, enforcing endorsements of primary winners, building coalitions with unaffiliated voters where Democrats can't win and more. Larry urges that the goal ishould be better delivery not better messaging. So this episode is about moving from protest to power. What weekday action by No Kings would you like to join next, rally, march, civil disobedience, or what? Support the show

Jillian Michaels has stepped out of her infamous "Darth Vader" role from "The Biggest Loser" and joins Glenn to dismantle the smearing of RFK Jr., fire back at those calling Charlie Kirk a bigot, and confess that she is “terrified” of what the modern Left has become — while noting how "the Right is looking a heck of a lot more diverse these days." From the glowing horrors of Fruit Loops and GMOs to the “catastrophic quartet of Big Food, Big Ag, Big Pharma, and Big Insurance” re-engineering our food to overcome the effects of drugs like Ozempic, the pair wonder if it's time for a 12-step program for food addiction. Jillian delivers wake-up calls on the transgender movement and the “psyop” of body positivity, before reflecting on training "The Biggest Loser" contestants and the vital role of personal responsibility and escaping victimhood. She describes the vaccine debate as a “red herring,” and Glenn breaks down his stance on gay marriage, MAHA, and what the liberals of his generation got right.     GLENN'S SPONSORS:    Relief Factor:   If you're living with aches and pains, see how Relief Factor, a daily drug-free supplement, could help you feel better and live better.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, there was a major FBI bust of an illegal sports betting scheme involving four NBA teams (Charlotte Hornets, Portland Trail Blazers, Los Angeles Lakers, Toronto Raptors) and four mafia families (Bonanno, Gambino, Genovese, Lucchese), netting over $7 million. The NBA Has a problem, people need to have faith in the game. This is a massive blackeye for the NBA. Also, those who say ​that ​Israel ​will ​never ​annex ​the ​West Bank (Judea ​and ​Samaria), ​have ​no ​idea ​what's ​taking ​place ​in ​the ​West ​Bank. Israel ​will ​do ​whatever ​it ​chooses ​to ​do. The recent Knesset vote on annexation was initiated by the left to divide conservatives and the administration. If ​​Judea ​and ​Samaria ​don't ​belong ​to ​the ​Jews, ​who ​does ​it ​belong ​to? Shiloh's history proves Judea and Samaria as ancestral Jewish homeland is crucial to Judaism and Christianity. Later, Zohran Mamdani got his butt kicked at the NYC debate. He's a sloganeer, which is typical of Marxists, but he won't be substantive at all. Afterward, Obamacare is a lie focused on centralization and control rather than affordability, leading to loss of civil liberties, restricted benefits, and second-rate care where patients can't access desired doctors, hospitals, or medicines. It's just like socialist systems in Canada and Britain, from which people flee to the US for better care, yet Democrats aim to mimic them. Democrats caused the government shutdown to maintain and expand Obamacare subsidies and reinstate benefits for illegal aliens, refusing reforms and relying on media to blame Republicans, ultimately destroying Medicare, Medicaid, and employee insurance by inflating healthcare costs. Finally, a Daily Mail article predicts Christianity's decline as America's majority religion amid Islam's rise. U.S. was founded on tolerant Judeo-Christian values fused with Enlightenment, rejected by Marxists and Islamists. This ideological clash threatens free society's survival.

So apparently Steve Bannon announced in an interview that Donald Trump will run for a third term. Because, you know, why start following the Constitution now? We'll break down this latest descent into delusion, and Trump's childlike meltdown over Canada's anti-tariff ad. (Yes, he's mad at Canada again. Cue the tiny violins.) Joining Don tonight is comedian Jay Jurden, who's bringing the laughs as we try to make sense of the nonsense. Because sometimes the only way to deal with this circus is to laugh at it.

Occupational therapy assistants are the bedrock of treatment provision in many OT departments throughout the country.In fact, In large rural SNFs, around  58% of OT staffing minutes are by OTAs.And, in rural and underserved communities, about 48% of all Medicare outpatient therapy services are provided by OTAs.But, not enough continuing education has been geared towards the unique challenges and opportunities within this profession. That's why I'm so thankful to begin a new annual series on Hot Topics for OTAs, with our first guest, Amy Mahle Ed.D., COTA/L, ROH. Amy and I will discuss the hot topics that are top of mind headed into 2026:  from changing reimbursement to the OTA pipeline, to new technologies at the point of care. This course is perfect for both occupational therapy assistants, and occupational therapists who are curious to learn more about our closest colleagues. Support the show

Send us an email @ info@parentcoachesunleashed.com SummaryIn this episode of Parent Coaches Unleashed, Jessica Anger and Carrie Wiesenfeld explore the complex and often emotional journey of "parenting your parents," focusing on the caregiving responsibilities that arise as our parents age.

While we have a database of every Medicare plan nationwide and can help you to search among all plans, we have contracts with many but not all plans. As a result, we do not offer every plan available in your area. Currently we represent 50 organizations which offer 18,160 products nationwide. We search and recommend all plans, even those we don't directly offer. You can contact a licensed Chapter agent to find out the number of products available in your specific area. Please contact Medicare.gov, 1-800-Medicare, or your local State Health Insurance Program (SHIP) to get information on all of your options. Visit https://meidasplus.com for more!

Wolff & Ware weigh in on Newsom's evasions in response to questions about the inherent contradictions of capitalism, California's failure to implement Medicare for All, & the "interesting" AIPAC moment; while the Higher Learning interview serves as a jumping off point for a broader and deeper conversation about the future of left politics, Zohran Mamdani, and the limits of the Democratic Party.
