If you are 65 years old or older, you have been receiving lots of calls, letters, and emails regarding the Medicare Open Enrollment period from October 15 through December 7. What you may not know is that nationally, roughly 70% of Medicare patients do not review their plan during the open enrollment period. That can be scary and leave opportunities to discover unwelcome or unwanted changes in coverage when they visit a doctor, pharmacy, or other provider in the new plan year. Another fun fact is that Medicare Advantage Plans have become the way that most Medicare Patients receive their Medicare benefits. Around 50% of Medicare beneficiaries chose to enroll in a Medicare Advantage Plan. Advantage Plans became popular because most offer benefits that are not covered by traditional Medicare. This morning we are fortunate to talk with Trisha Witts from our local five star advantage plan, PrimeTime Health Plan. PrimeTime is locally owned and when you call, you will be talking to a neighbor or friend to help you understand your Medicare benefits and options. https://www.medshoprx.com/ https://www.primetimehealthplan.com/  

In this episode of the Advancing Surgical Care Podcast, ASCA Chief Executive Officer Bill Prentice talks with orthopedic surgeon and ASCA Board member David Weinstein, MD, about performing outpatient total shoulder surgeries in both hospitals and ASCs.Tens of thousands of patients with commercial insurance undergo safe, effective total shoulder surgeries in ASCs each year, saving themselves and their insurers millions of dollars. Yet the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has refused to extend its insurance coverage to ASCs—the less costly site of care and the one that most patients prefer. Dr. Weinstein discusses several clinical studies that include findings that support making this change, as well as his own experience performing thousands of shoulder surgeries, in this compelling case for finally allowing Medicare patients the same choice that private pay patients enjoy today.Dr. Weinstein is a graduate of the University of Colorado School of Medicine, where he completed his residency in orthopedic surgery, as well as an associate clinical professor at the University of Colorado Department of Orthopedics in Denver.

Dr. Carl Cameron is the Chief Medical Officer at MVP Health Care, a health services company in the northeast, developing innovative solutions for Medicare enrollees to help them get the care they need by thinking of patients as consumers.  Using Care Guides, MVP is solving problems and clarifying benefits for consumers to keep them healthy and out of the hospital. Carl explains, "One thing we did in trying to understand the customers, the potential customers of the health plan, is we tried to put our biases behind us. We then tried to think in advance about what the customers' needs were. We went out, and we did a large survey of over 1,000 potential customers to really try to understand, for a health plan that they were going to join, or potentially going to join, what are the most important things that they would consider, and what were their fears about changing health plans." "Through our Care Guide, we proactively call each customer and connect with each customer ahead of time to encourage them right from the outstart. Before you even join the plan, you have these great benefits that are available to you. We want you to have them, and we want to help you get them." "It's reinforced by many of the doctors that we've worked with in Vermont through UVMHN that support the plan and are working with us to have this wonderful experience for the customers." @MVPHealthCare #CareManagement #Medicare #MedicareAdvantage #SeniorHealth #COVIDBooster mvphealthcare.com Download the transcript here

This summer I sat down with one of the most outspoken and passionate guests I have ever hosted at Alloutcoach and recorded a truly "AllOut", candid and colorful conversation that will leave you with calls to action to use Data and Technology not to only Count but to Connect in Healthcare. Dr. Warren Wexelman, a cardiologist, Associate Chief Medical Officer at Maimonides Hospital, renowned global keynote speaker, and lecturer addresses the latest trends in 1) virtual healthcare & telehealth and 2) interactions of healthcare professionals with pharma, biotech, and medical device companies to provide hands-on, real world case studies and recommendations to improve healthcare quality. 2:36 – Up to $250 billion could be shifted towards virtual healthcare in the future 2:45 – Only 1% of primary care visits in Medicare were virtual as of January 2020, which rose to 50% of all Medicare Patients by April 2020 10:08 – "Necessity is the mother of all invention" – Sir Isaac Newton case 10:56 – Doctor Patient Relationship is the single most important piece of healthcare 11:41 – Doctors check the pulse not to count the beats but to connect and touch the patient 12:38 – Since 1968, when Medicare first started in the U.S., physicians could speak to patients and bill for their time but it's never used because it is not reimbursed 13:40 – Two of Dr. Wexelman's patients died at home due to non-COVID cardiac reasons because they were afraid to seek healthcare 16:06 – New incentives for healthcare providers to use telehealth but the impact on the quality of care is not clear 16:13 – Many patients still have low access to technology or virtual care in certain areas 18:19 – Dr. Wexelman's software company – AlphaMED Disease Management Systems, alphameddms.com 20:05 – Many physicians still not advanced in their use of technology 21:08 - Are the structures in place for physicians to be incentivized sufficiently to adopt telehealth? 22:07 – Obama administration brought upon “Meaningful Use” of electronic health records 23:02 – Physicians hate using their electronic healthcare records, which take them 3x the time needed to see a patient 23:57 – Electronic Healthcare Records were never designed to be shared everywhere 27:01 – Message to the government: make digital health devices available for home use, incentivize the healthcare providers 28:11 - Is Telepharmacy a possibility in our healthcare system? 29:29 – What should physicians be forced to only submit a prescription via a computer rather than the phone? 30:36 – Pharmaceutical Industry's Adoption of Digital Health Technology 31:25 – How physicians engage virtually with pharma or med devices 31:56 – Why Physicians use Social Media – data from Scranton University 32:22 – How physicians shifted to attending virtual scientific conferences 33:41 – Medical Science Liaison (MSL) Society survey – how important is it to stay connected with MSLs during the pandemic? 34:32 – How frequently do physicians prefer to communicate with an MSL? 35:50 – Dr. Wexelman: "The term [pharma] has become a dirty word with healthcare providers, and everyone in the healthcare system to blame!" 36:26 – Where would we be without pharma today? 40:06 – Physicians in large healthcare systems not allowed to see pharma reps - Dr. Wexelman's “secure samples” software program 41:13 – Keeping information from physicians who “serve” is a “disservice” 41:48 – Physicians need to know information BEFORE it is published 42:18 – Pacemaker sales rep case study 45:51 – Medical Affairs and Sales partners in the Continuum of Healthcare 46:52 – Why restrict “samples”? particularly for some life-saving medications 47:06 – Drug prices - there should never be a question “do I take my diabetes medication or do I eat today?” 48:35 – It is not about the number of years of experience in healthcare or any other field, but about how you utilize the experience, or technology 50:14 – Dr. Wexelman referencing the Hippocratic Oath and what it means to him! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/alloutcoach/support

Doctors in private practice are experiencing the same challenges all small businesses are during this trying time. But the new CARES Act recently signed into law provides an important benefit to physicians whose practices include Medicare patients. Physicians can request advance or accelerated payments from CMS for Medicare patients they won't even see or treat until late summer this year. And payments are supposed to be paid to doctors within about a week after an approved request is made. Cash now for future patients! Listen to today's episode of Legal Scrubs to learn more.

Converting Medicare patients from inpatient to outpatient status is a compliance issue. And hospitals need to know how to process the proper billing level of care for beneficiaries. Using their benefits correctly is a responsibility, since these patients rely on caregivers to advocate for them.To help navigate these potential audit traps, we asked Mary Beth Pace, vice president of care for Trinity Health, to be our special guest during this edition of Monitor Mondays.Other segments to be featured on the podcast:COVID-19 Update: Dennis Jones, director of patient financial services for Montefiore Nyack Hospital, reports on how the state of New York is working to remove barriers to the testing of the deadly virus.SDoH Report: Ellen Fink-Samnick, a nationally recognized expert on the social determinants of health (SDoH), has the latest news on this trending topic that is attracting significant media attention. Ellen will also conduct the Monitor Mondays Listener Survey.Legislative Update: Matthew Albright, chief legislative affairs officer for Zelis, join the broadcast as a permanent guest and report on current healthcare legislation – proposed, pending, or passed – and its intended consequences.Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrickson & Bryon, joins the broadcast with his trademark segment, in which he reports on problematic issues facing providers.Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, MD, vice president of R1 RCM, makes his Monday Rounds with another installment of his popular segment.

Missourians, and people around the country, might not be getting screened for colorectal cancer because they are afraid they might have to cover some of the costs. Most insurance companies cover colonoscopies for 50 -75 years of age, but the same is not true for those on Medicare, who might have to pay 20 percent of the cost. That is problematic, the American Cancer Society says, because colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable diseases, and more than half of all colorectal cancer patients are Medicare beneficiaries. The American Cancer Society - Cancer Action Network is pushing for legislation that can help cover these costs so that people won't have to avoid a screening simply because of the financial burden.

Drs Nuelle and Camp discuss Factors That Increase the Risk of Infection After Elbow Arthroscopy: Analysis of Patient Demographics, Medical Comorbidities, and Steroid Injections in 2,704 Medicare Patients

[Read the Article] America's landmark health care programs, Medicare and Medicaid, celebrate their 50th anniversaries on July 30th. Over the past five decades, the United States healthcare system has experienced dynamic changes, most notably in recent years with improvements in technology, care delivery and health related behaviors. A new study examined key outcomes among the Medicare population over a 15 year period.Researchers from Yale University School of Medicine reviewed the records of nearly 70 million Medicare beneficiaries enrolled in fee-for-service and Medicare Advantage plans from 1999 to 2013, to better understand long-term trends in mortality, hospitalizations, and healthcare costs.Results found that among Medicare beneficiaries, death rates have dropped an estimated twenty percent, there have been ten percent fewer hospitalizations, and overall expenditures have decreased from 1999 to 2013. In the last six months of life, total hospitalizations and inpatient costs have also decreased.

Miscommunication during the care transition puts elderly patients at risk for reduced quality of care, poorer outcomes and unnecessary procedures, according to Gregg Lehman, president and CEO of Inspiris. He defines the key players on the care transition team, suggests strategies for improving communications during this crucial phase and describes his organization's approach to dual eligibles who find themselves at this healthcare crossroad. Lehman, along with Danielle Butin, director of health services at Oxford Health Plans, a United Healthcare Company, described how their organizations are coordinating the care of Medicare patients as they transition through the healthcare system to minimize costly episodes of care during a November 30th audio conference, Managing Transitions to Care for Medicare Patients to Avoid Costly Inpatient Admissions.
