    For millions of young women and girls, often the first place they turn with questions about their bodies isn't a doctor's office, it's social media which can lead to encountering many misconceptions and outright misinformation. Or, if the right voices show up, it can mean something else entirely. Our guest today, Dr. Charis Chambers, is one of those voices. She's a board-certified OB/GYN with specialty certification in Pediatric & Adolescent Gynecology, and Chief Medical Officer at Clue, a leading period and cycle-tracking app. She's also the founder of The Period Doctor, a platform she launched in 2019 to provide medically accurate reproductive health information and to place more minority physicians in the spaces where patients are already looking for answers. As she tells Raise the Line from Elsevier host Lindsey Smith, Dr. Chambers embraces the role of being a bridge between generations: "I can serve as a medical mediator where I advocate for the child and then educate the parent so that the child's concerns are met." Stay tuned to this important conversation to also learn about: Her new book, The Period and Puberty Parenting Revolution, which tackles many of the same myths she encounters every day in her clinic; Why stubborn myths around periods rarely hold up once you ask where they come from; How she thinks about the responsibility, and limits, of being a trusted medical voice on social media.

    A dentist, practice owner, and self-described “billing and documentation geek” sits down with us and tells a story most of dentistry never expects to hear: Dr. Roy Shelburne was convicted and went to prison after years of investigation tied to his Medicaid-heavy practice. The numbers are not the point. The system is. If you think “we didn't mean to” protects you, this conversation will change how you look at dental billing compliance and clinical documentation.We dig into the uncomfortable legal reality behind intent to defraud, including “blind disregard,” where repeated errors without a system to find and fix them can be treated as fraud. From there, we get practical fast: what defensive documentation looks like before a claim is ever sent, why diagnosis must come before treatment, and how dentistry is inching toward more diagnosis-driven workflows (think ICD-10, not just CDT codes). Perio examples make it crystal clear: if the record doesn't state the diagnosis, your SRP and inflammation-based codes are standing on thin ice.We also talk audit triggers you can prevent today: crown claims with no justification in the chart, radiographs that are not diagnostic, and documentation gaps created when notes get entered later or copied from rigid templates. Dr. Shelburne shares how to delegate documentation safely with flexible templates, how to track non-diagnostic radiographs to improve training, and how to stop “billing to benefit” so your treatment aligns with standard of care. We close with appeal strategies, payer criteria, and the mindset that helps you get paid what you are legitimately owed while lowering risk.If you want fewer denials, fewer clawbacks, and more peace of mind, listen, share this with your team, and then subscribe and leave a review so more practices build safer systems.Send us Fan Mail Registration Link for Diagnosis Codes on a Dental Claim Form Webinar:https://dentiqhub-diagnosis-codes.vercel.app/Get your Dental Billing Toolkit Here:https://www.dentalbillingdoneright.com/the-dental-billing-toolkitDownload "The Most Underused Codes in Dentistry - And How to Get Them Paid" checklist here:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfxnnfSlNd0NPhMoBWq-1D_xU5R8LS4xPhHNKIjfLQwStOUag/viewform?usp=headerSchedule a billing chat with Ericka:https://calendly.com/ericka-dentalbillingdoneright/30minEmail Ericka:ericka@dentalbillingdoneright.comEmail Jen:jen@dentalbillingdoneright.com

University of Rhode Island sociologist Julie Keller unpacks the new survey data exposing how deep the affordability crisis really goes - and why the numbers are more alarming than the anecdotes.The findings go beyond general frustration. 29% of respondents say they delayed medical care in the last year because of cost, and among those postponing recommended care, cost is the biggest reason. Keller explains why the wording of these questions matters, how the survey captures the difference between general concern and real-world barriers, and why that gap is so consequential for health outcomes and medical debt.We also break down the broader public sentiment shaping Rhode Island right now: 72% worry about healthcare costs 72% also worry about housing costs 93% trust their own doctor Trust drops sharply for institutions like the CDC, FDA, Rhode Island state officials, RFK Jr., and Trump 49% say they use AI for health information, raising new questions about how people search for care and advice Keller also shares what Rhode Islanders say they would support to fix the system, including a URI medical school, loan forgiveness for doctors who stay in the state, and higher Medicaid reimbursements.

    4 Best Options To Pay For Long-Term Care, #321

    Retire With Ryan

    Long-term care coverage is an essential, yet often misunderstood, aspect of retirement planning in the United States. Although many people will require some form of long-term care as they age, most are unprepared for the high costs and limited coverage options available. On the show this week, I'm debunking common myths like the notion that Medicare will fully cover all long-term care costs and taking a deep dive into the four main ways retirees can pay for these expenses.    You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... 00:00 Understanding the options for long-term care help 03:10 The difference between Medicare and Medicaid 05:07 Spouse asset protection options 09:15 Understanding hybrid policy benefits 13:24 Hybrid vs. traditional long-term care 19:25 Long-term care insurance application process   Understanding Medicare's Limitations There is often a misconception that Medicare covers long-term care. In reality, it's split into two primary parts: Part A, which covers some costs for hospital stays, and Part B, which addresses preventative care such as doctor visits and certain procedures. While Medicare may pay for medically necessary hospital stays—such as those following an injury like a broken hip—it stops covering the costs when ongoing care is no longer deemed medically necessary. Extended or custodial care, where you need help with daily living activities but do not require intensive medical treatment, is not included under standard Medicare coverage. This leaves retirees exposed to significant out-of-pocket expenses once hospital-based care ends.   The Four Main Options for Long-Term Care Coverage There are four primary payment strategies for long-term care. Each option has its benefits and limitations, and selecting the right one depends heavily on individual circumstances.   1. Medicaid Medicaid is a needs-based program designed for individuals with low income and limited assets. To qualify, applicants must pass specific income and asset thresholds, which, for single individuals, often means owning less than $2,000 in assets. Married couples have more leeway—the "community spouse" can usually retain a higher amount of assets and income. Medicaid planning may involve establishing a qualified income trust or transferring assets into an irrevocable trust. It is important to note that most states enforce a five-year look-back period for asset transfers, meaning that gifts or transfers must occur at least five years before the Medicaid application to be effective.   2. Self-Insuring Self-insuring is also an option, which involves setting aside personal assets, such as retirement savings or home equity, to pay for potential care needs. This method offers autonomy but carries risk, especially given the high and regionally variable costs of care. Depending on where you live, full-time nursing care can average over $15,000 per month, and home care or assisted living can still cost tens of thousands of dollars per year. Planning ahead is critical, particularly for couples, to ensure one spouse's care does not financially imperil the other.   3. Hybrid Long-Term Care Policies Hybrid long-term care insurance policies have emerged that combine life insurance with long-term care coverage. These products provide either long-term care benefits or a death benefit to your estate, ensuring that money paid into the policy is not "lost" if long-term care is never needed. Hybrid policies tend to offer flexible payout options and the potential for locked-in premiums, but they may provide less coverage per premium dollar when compared to traditional policies.   4. Traditional Long-Term Care Insurance Traditional long-term care insurance remains an option for those prioritizing higher benefit payouts. While these policies can stretch benefit pools further, they don't usually offer death benefits, and their premiums are not guaranteed—they can increase over time and may eventually become unaffordable. Underwriting is also stringent: many applicants over 70 are denied coverage, and certain medical conditions result in automatic disqualification. Making the Right Choice for You and Your Family You need to balance protecting personal assets, securing a spouse's future, and managing premium costs. Retirees should honestly assess their health, financial circumstances, and family situation. Consulting a financial advisor or insurance professional can help tailor a long-term care strategy that minimizes risk while supporting a comfortable and dignified retirement. Planning now, rather than later, ensures you are prepared for whatever the future may bring—and that you and your loved ones have peace of mind.   Resources Mentioned Retirement Readiness Review Subscribe to the Retire with Ryan YouTube Channel Download my entire book for FREE    Connect With Morrissey Wealth Management  www.MorrisseyWealthManagement.com/contact Subscribe to Retire With Ryan

    In this episode of Peachtree Corners Life, host Rico Figliolini sits down with Adam Cleveland, the Democratic candidate challenging two-term incumbent Scott Hilton for Georgia House District 48. Cleveland shares his path from studying biology and working apartment maintenance in Athens to becoming an attorney who helped draft multiple pieces of legislation passed by the Georgia General Assembly — experience he says gave him a firsthand understanding of how laws actually get written, and why he's now running for the seat that writes them.The conversation covers Cleveland's core policy priorities, including ranked-choice voting, redistricting reform, term limits, reproductive and medical decision-making, Medicaid expansion, data centers, public school funding, and housing affordability.Throughout, he frames his campaign around generational opportunity — the idea that structural changes to Georgia's elections and government are necessary to give his children, and the next generation of Georgians, more say over the decisions that shape their lives.Watch the video or listen to the audio podcast above, and learn more about Adam Cleveland's campaign at adamcleveland.com.

    HOW DOES MARYLAND'S NEW TRANSFER-ON-DEATH DEED WORK? WATCH ON YOUTUBE TESSA HALL Media and Communications Specialist NICOLE LIVINGSTON Partner at McKenna Russo About This Episode Beginning October 1, 2026, Maryland homeowners will have a new estate-planning option for transferring real estate after death: the transfer-on-death deed. In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, Tessa Hall speaks with estate planning attorney Nicole Livingston about how Maryland's new transfer-on-death deed works, how it may help homeowners avoid probate, and some of the complications homeowners should understand before using one. Nicole discusses multiple beneficiaries, conflicts between a deed and a will, Medicaid liens, and how transfer-on-death deeds compare with life estate deeds and revocable trusts. The new option may appear straightforward, but decisions involving real estate and estate planning can have consequences that extend well beyond completing a form. Explore how BWFA can help you plan for your financial future by visiting our Financial Planning page. Frequently Asked Questions About Maryland Transfer-on-Death Deeds What is a transfer-on-death deed in Maryland? A transfer-on-death deed allows a Maryland homeowner to designate a beneficiary who will receive the property after the homeowner's death without the property passing through probate. The new Maryland law takes effect on October 1, 2026. Nicole explains that estate planning attorneys have previously used tools such as life estate deeds and revocable trusts to accomplish similar probate-avoidance goals. What happens if you name multiple beneficiaries? Naming multiple beneficiaries may create complications for ownership and estate planning. Nicole explains that under the new Maryland statute, beneficiaries named without additional ownership language default to joint ownership with rights of survivorship. That distinction can affect what happens if one beneficiary dies before the homeowner and may produce a different result than the homeowner intended. Does the deed override a will in Maryland? Yes. According to Nicole, the deed controls the transfer of the property even when a will provides different instructions. For example, a will might divide an estate equally between two children while the deed names only one child as beneficiary of the home. In that situation, Nicole explains that the beneficiary named on the deed receives the property. How could this new option affect Medicaid planning? The new deed can interact with Medicaid and estate recovery rules, so homeowners should consider those consequences before using one. Nicole explains that the arrangement does not prevent Maryland from enforcing an applicable Medicaid estate recovery lien against the property. The appropriate strategy may depend on the homeowner's circumstances, marital status, and long-term care planning. Should you prepare the deed without an attorney? Although Maryland's new law is intended to make the process accessible to people without an attorney, mistakes can have significant consequences. Nicole identifies incorrectly describing the property and misunderstanding the effects of naming multiple beneficiaries as two potential problems. Because a home is often a substantial asset, she recommends seeking legal assistance before preparing the deed.

    Barrett Gruber sits down with Zyon Khalifa — Air Force veteran, 25-year-old Democratic nominee for South Carolina's 2nd Congressional District — for one of the most energizing candidate conversations the show has produced. This is what forward-thinking representation actually looks like.Zyon's path to this race runs through military service, logistics leadership, and a clear-eyed assessment of what his district has been missing under long-term incumbent representation. He didn't run because it was easy or because the timing was perfect — he ran because the urgency of now demanded it. The conversation opens with that decision and the community engagement work that convinced him the talent, the energy, and the appetite for change were all present in this election cycle.His Air Force background shapes everything about how Zyon approaches campaigning and governance. The logistics experience, the ability to work across differences, the discipline of military leadership — these aren't resume bullet points, they're the operating system behind his campaign strategy. The primary and runoff lessons he shares are practical and honest, and his path to victory in a competitive district is grounded in bipartisan appeal and genuine community relationships rather than party machinery.On the issues, Zyon is specific and ambitious. Rural economic development anchors the policy conversation — attracting industries, building infrastructure, and ensuring that the communities being left behind by the current economy have a real seat at the table. Data centers and their environmental footprint get a thoughtful examination. Education funding and teacher pay are treated as economic issues, not just social ones. And the healthcare segment is among the episode's sharpest — Zyon's framing that "the system profits off pain and prevention" cuts to the heart of why Medicaid expansion has stalled and what genuine reform would require.At 25, Zyon Khalifa represents something that South Carolina's 2nd District hasn't had in a long time: a candidate whose future is as invested in the district's future as the constituents he hopes to serve.Topics Covered:Zyon Khalifa's background, military service, and motivation for runningThe urgency of this election cycle and the talent it has attractedAir Force experience, logistics leadership, and working across differencesCritique of the incumbent's record in SC's 2nd Congressional DistrictCampaign strategy, primary lessons, and path to victoryBipartisan appeal and community engagementRural economic development and attracting industries to SCData centers and environmental concernsEducation funding and teacher pay as economic prioritiesHealthcare access and Medicaid expansion in South CarolinaWhy the system profits off pain rather than preventionZyon Khalifa | FacebookZyon Khalifa | InstagramKhalifa For Congress | Join the Movement for ChangeBarrett Gruber | LinktreeThe All About Nothing: Podcast | LinktreeClick here for Episode Show Notes!As always, "The All About Nothing: Podcast" is owned and distributed by BIG Media LLC!Check out our network of fantastic podcasts!Click Here to see available advertising packages!Click Here for information on the "Fair Use Copyright Notice" for this podcast.

Let's review what Medicare does and does not cover. Also, people confuse Medicare and Medicaid so Cory provides a detailed overview of how both programs work and what families need to know.·       Maybe even more important than choices in long-term-care communities is the cost – Cory and Sherri discuss the difference in costs for various senior living options and also provide some great resources to help you research costs.·       Cory reviews a checklist of questions family caregivers should ask their older loved one and also the long-term-care community administrators to help make informed choices.·       The fragmentation and numerous data points families need to make the best choice in long-term care services and communities means not waiting for the crisis when there is no time to plan ahead and especially to save the amount of money needed. It is critical to have the conversation sooner rather than later – Sherri and Cory discuss why this is important for the financial wellness of family caregivers.·       Cory warns that sometime the decision for an older loved one to move into senior living is about the health of the caregiver. Suffering from burnout and health issues of trying to keep your loved one at home with no help can be another reason families need to know the scope of senior care when making these important decisions.WATCH THE PODCAST ON YOUTUBE HERE: https://youtu.be/jJq1XAxlpAUThank you for making “Caregiving Club On Air” #3 on the list of top 80 caregiving podcasts!Subscribe on your favorite listening channel or our YouTube channel.

We walk through the practical reality of access, including the IEP process, insurance requirements, and how SLPs and physicians often become the documentation gatekeepers for prescriptions and funding. If you have ever searched “how to get an AAC device,” “assistive technology evaluation,” or “AAC through Medicaid,” you will leave with a clearer picture of what to ask for and where to look.Then we zoom out past speech devices into everyday assistive technology that changes lives: weighted bowls and spoons, pencil grips and slant boards, hearing supports, magnification tools, adapted computer mice, and the creative problem solving mindset behind it all. From there, we get real about school-based ABA consultation: building rapport with teachers, setting boundaries, observing the whole classroom system, picking targets that can actually work in a busy environment, and navigating the hard truth that sometimes school politics override good data.If you care about neuro-affirming ABA, assent and safety, and helping clients become who they are, not who someone else thinks they should be, this conversation is for you.

    A kid walks into the ER because they thought a THC edible was candy, and the package did the lying. That's one of the most unsettling through-lines in my conversation with Luanne Thomas Ewald, chief operating officer at CS Mott Children's Hospital and Von Voigtlander Women's Hospital at University of Michigan Health, recorded at the 2026 Mackinac Policy Conference with the Michigan Health and Hospital Association. Luanne breaks down what's new at Michigan Medicine, including how CS Mott keeps pushing pediatric innovation and measurable outcomes, and why a design choice matters more than a press release: the women's hospital is built within the children's hospital, so high-risk deliveries can move a newborn to specialized care in a one-minute elevator ride instead of an ambulance transfer. We also talk leadership and collaboration across Michigan as she reflects on nearly 34 years in children's health and her role with MHA's Council on Children's Health, where hospitals step away from competition to focus on what's best for kids statewide. We dig into major child health policy issues that don't always make headlines: Medicaid funding threats that squeeze working families caring for children with chronic conditions, and how housing support like Ronald McDonald House Ann Arbor becomes critical when a children's hospital is consistently operating above capacity. If you care about pediatric patient safety, children's hospital capacity, Medicaid policy, or practical regulation that prevents harm, this conversation is for you. Subscribe for more healthcare leadership conversations, share this episode with someone who cares about kids' health in Michigan, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.Support the showEngage the conversation on Substack at The Common Bridge!

    The Trump administration's crackdown on fraud is now targeting Applied Behavior Analysis therapy providers, which impacts the autism care industry. Family Advocate at Autism Families Alliance Kelsey Bennett joins Fox's Jacqui Heinrich to warn against government overcorrection as legitimate providers support removing bad actors, uncredentialed billing, and false reporting.   Following the dramatic rise in Mississippi's educational rankings—dubbed the "Mississippi Miracle"—the state has emerged as a national leader in K–12 reading and math improvements. Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves joins to discuss how conservative literacy reforms and accountability transformed academic outcomes, why deploying specialized reading and math coaches scaled classroom success, and how the state is preparing students for the future through the nation's first statewide AI network.   Plus, commentary from Paul Batura, Vice President of Communications at Focus on the Family and founder of the 4:8 Media Network.     PHOTO CREDIT: ASSOCIATED PRESS  Learn more about your ad choices.

    This week on Red State Update, Jackie and Dunlap wail in grief about: Dolly Parton, the only person left who could bring this country together, and her work with the oppressed, the underprivileged, and Porter Wagoner. Plus her movies, her songs, Tim Curry, and why Dolly's legacy goes beyond singin, actin, Dollywood, and Straight Talk. Plus Whorehouse, Jim Nabors, and how everyone's Mom's kitchen used to look like the Trio album cover. Friendships with Canada never last, but Lake America is forever Supreme Court don't seem to mind what Trump does with mail-in ballots, elections, democracy.  DOJ hires a lawyer once convicted of election-site hacking Wild horses couldn't keep Trump away — Protected wild horses are sold for slaughter while Trump lets beef imports come in from wherever, American farmers be damned, even if we got to do a Beef recall — 30,000 pounds of Argentine beef recalled after sale in Florida and Texas. ABC / Rosie / FCC — ABC is airing Rosie O'Donnell and suing Trump's FCC after previously kissin trump ass Secret Service is reportedly alarmed by Natalie Harp's letters. Trump will tear down the Kennedy Center if they don't put his name on it.

RFK Jr. is tied to conspiracy-tinged comments about measles deaths. Byron Donalds blames spread on illegal immigration. ICE arrests — ICE arrests surged—they're arrestin people with no criminal convictions to make their dumb damn quotas.   More folks in immigrant camps  than ATL population Deaf migrants — Deaf migrants deported without sign-language interpreters A mile of border infrastructure in Big Bend reportedly costs more than the park's annual budget.

    Pres Trump is leading us to accountability and it's vexing the Left. https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/finance/74-federal-grant-spending-wasnt-trackable-local-level-fy24-report The Project On Government Oversight downloaded and analyzed data from USAspending.gov that the nonprofit group says in a report released on Tuesday shows over 74% – $712.6 billion – of $958.6 billion in domestic grant spending from fiscal 2024 couldn't be tracked to the local level. The Trump administration confirmed with Just the News that the lack of accountability shown in the report's findings is why new rules have been proposed for federal grantmaking, and they comport with those at the Office of Management and Budget. https://nypost.com/2026/07/21/us-news/rfk-jr-yanks-medicaid-funds-to-california-and-minnesota/ Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Tuesday he's stopping more than $1 billion in federal Medicaid payments to California and Minnesota over suspected fraud. “We are not sending Medicaid dollars out the door until we have confidence that they are being spent lawfully and appropriately,” Kennedy said at an announcement on Tuesday. Kennedy said if California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) want the money to fund low-income healthcare, “they need to provide documentation that these payments are legitimate.” https://nypost.com/2026/07/22/us-news/jayden-williams-the-youngest-ever-mayor-of-stockbridge-georgia-probed-over-alleged-spending-habits-reports/ A Georgia city's youngest-ever mayor was temporarily stripped of his duties and privileges amid an investigation over his alleged spending – less than a year after being elected on a campaign premised around accountability and transparency. Jayden Williams, the 22-year-old mayor of Stockbridge, Ga., was ordered to hand over his city-issued credit cards by Monday at noon due to his spending, but failed to meet the deadline, Atlanta News First reported. Stockbridge city council officials launched a probe into Williams after “information” was presented to finance officials and the city attorney, without divulging further.

    Food as Medicine: Why Medical Nutrition Therapy and Medically Tailored Meals Belong in Modern Healthcare: Registered dietitian nutritionist Leyla Muedin argues that food should be treated with the same rigor as medication through medical nutrition therapy (MNT) and “diet prescriptions,” integrating nutrition into treatment plans rather than leaving it as optional advice. She cites evidence that medically tailored meals (MTMs) can improve outcomes and reduce costs, including a Health Affairs simulation estimating $23.7B in first-year net savings nationwide and a Nature Medicine analysis of a Massachusetts Medicaid demonstration (2020–2023) showing MTM recipients had 31% fewer hospitalizations, 20% fewer emergency visits, and $3,433 lower total healthcare costs, offsetting 98% of program costs. She discusses food insecurity, expanding Medicaid coverage via Section 1115 waivers, EHR integration, and how MTMs support adherence for conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, depression, and IBS (including low FODMAP).
