Stacy Edgar is CEO and co-founder of Venteur, a company whose mission is to help employers provide the best possible health benefits for their employees. On this episode of CFO at Home Stacy and Vince discuss some of the challenges that rising healthcare costs presents for us as consumers, some basics that we should be aware of as we make decisions about healthcare coverage, and more. Key Takeaways Healthcare costs can often keep individuals tied to a job for the health insurance, even if they would rather pursue an entrepreneurial venture or retire    US Census Bureau - Health Insurance Coverage in the United States: 2020   8.6 percent of people, or 28.0 million, did not have health insurance at any point during the year. In 2020, private health insurance coverage continued to be more prevalent than public coverage  Between 2018 and 2020 more children under the age of 19 in poverty were uninsured in 2020 than in 2018. Uninsured rates for children under the age of 19 in poverty rose 1.6 percentage points to 9.3 percent Medical debt is the #1 cause of bankruptcy in the US Approx. 100 million Americans have some sort of medical debt  In the last 20 years, the cost of healthcare has increased 215% for a average family of 4 Good news: There are more and more options available on the market; the price of coverage decreases due to the number of competitors in the market  Both the Affordable Care Act and the American Rescue Plan provide more affordable healthcare options ACA compliant plans the doctor's cost for well-being visits at no additional cost (physicals, etc) Open Enrollment  Don't miss your enrollment period! Make your coverage choices based on your individual circumstances Deductible - The amount that you pay out of pocket before your insurance kicks in to cover costs With a High Deductible(or Bronze) plan, the average healthy person typically will pay most of their healthcare costs out of pocket. The insurance is really more for catastrophic events  High  Deductible plans sometimes have the unintended consequence of discouraging individuals from seeking medical care due to the out of pocket costs Lower Deductible plans (Silver, Platinum) have more expensive monthly premiums, have lower initial out of pocket costs Health Savings Account (HSA) You can contribute up to $3,650 (individual) in pre-tax dollars that can be used to pay short term out of pocket medical costs or can be invested for future costs  PPO - Fee for Service; you can go to any doctor that your health plan has contracted without a referral from a primary care physician; discounted rates for in-network HMO - You have to see a Primary Physician before seeing a specialist EPO (Exclusive Provider Organization) - Mix of PPO and HMO You can see any doctor, but only in- network Resources Venteur.co HealthCare.gov Ways to connect/follow Venteur.co - Facebook Venteur.co - Instagram Venteur.co - Twitter StacyMei - Twitter Contact the Host - vince@thecfoathome.com

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!

MN066 Welcome To Medicare Visit vs. Annual Wellness Visit

What is the Difference Between a Welcome to Medicare Visit  vs. an Annual Wellness Visit?  A "Welcome to Medicare" preventive visit: Is an introductory visit only within the first 12 months you have Medicare Part B. This visit includes a review of your medical and social history with your Primary Physician, as well as possibly including preventive services, including: Certain screenings, shots, and referrals for other care, if needed Height, weight, and blood pressure measurements A calculation of your body mass index A simple vision test A review of your potential risk for depression and your level of safety An offer to talk with you about creating "Advanced Directives" A written plan letting you know which screenings, shots, and other preventive services you need.  This visit is covered one time. You don’t need to have this visit as a "prerequisite," to be covered for yearly "Wellness" visits. Annual "Wellness" visits: If you've had Part B for longer than 12 months, you can get this visit to develop or update a personalized prevention help plan. This plan is designed to help prevent disease and disability based on your current health and risk factors. Your provider will ask you to fill out a questionnaire, called a “Health Risk Assessment,” as part of this visit. Answering these questions can help you and your provider develop a personalized prevention plan to help you stay healthy and get the most out of your visit. It can also include: A review of your medical and family history Developing or updating a list of current providers and prescriptions Height, weight, blood pressure, and other routine measurements Detection of any cognitive impairment Personalized health advice A list of risk factors and treatment options for you A screening schedule (like a checklist) for appropriate preventive services.  This visit is covered once every 12 months (11 full months must have passed since the last visit). Who's eligible? All people with Part B are covered. Your costs in Original Medicare You pay nothing for the “Welcome to Medicare” preventive visit or the yearly “Wellness” visit if your doctor or other qualified health care provider accepts assignment with Medicare  The Part B deductible doesn’t apply for annual wellness visits. However, you may have to pay coinsurance, and the Part B deductible may apply if: Your doctor or other health care provider performs additional tests or services during the same visit (ex: an EKG or draws blood). The additional tests or services aren't covered under the preventive benefits. An "Annual Exam" is where your Primary Care Physician will provide a "hands on" examination of you and you may have tests like an EKG or have blood drawn. Co-pays, coinsurance and deductibles will apply for Annual Exams.   Share Medicare Nation with someone! Teach your parents, your grandparents how to access this podcast! Buy them a smartphone. Show them how to access iTunes & Stitcher. The more they know, the less they will ask you for help. It's not easy being the "Sandwich Generation." So...... do yourself and your parents a favor and help them listen to Medicare Nation!

The NOTICE ACT On August 6, 2016, The Notice of Observation Treatment and Implication for Care Eligibility Act, went into effect. (Sec. 2) This bill amends title XVIII (Medicare) of the Social Security Act to require a hospital or critical access hospital with an agreement with the Secretary of Health and Human Services(Medicre) to give each individual who receives observation services as an outpatient for more than 24 hours an adequate oral and written notification within 36 hours after beginning to receive (Observation Services) which: explains the individual's status as an outpatient and not as an inpatient and the reasons why; explains the implications of that status on services furnished (including those furnished as an inpatient), in particular the implications for cost-sharing requirements and subsequent coverage eligibility for services furnished by a skilled nursing facility; includes appropriate additional information; is written and formatted using plain language and made available in appropriate languages; and is signed by the individual or a person acting on the individual's behalf (representative) to acknowledge receipt of the notification, or if the individual or representative refuses to sign, the written notification is signed by the hospital staff who presented it.    Here is the link to the Federal Register, which explains in more detail Procedures Applicable to Beneficiaries Receiving Observation Services: https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2016-04-27/pdf/2016-09120.pdf   Medicare Advantage Plans  “A beneficiary enrolled in a Medicare Advantage or other Medicare health plan would receive the required notice under the existing rules that apply to hospitals and CAHs under a provider agreement governed by the provisions of section 1866(a)(1)(Y) of the Act.”   If you are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage Plan, you are covered under the provisions of your plan. READ your plan’s Evidence of Coverage (EOC) to determine what your out-of-pocket expenses will be in this situation.   I am urging each of you to be Pro Active with your own Health Care! If you or a loved one goes to the Emergency Room or a Critical Access Hospital, be prepared to speak up! Speak to the Physician in the ER who is treating you. Ask the physician specifically…..”Am I being ADMITTED to the hospital as an INPATIENT?” If the answer is “Yes,” you will be covered under Medicare Part A benefits.  If the answer is…. “No…..you are UNDER OBSERVATION. OR……”No……you are receiving OUTPATIENT SERVICES.”  You WILL more than likely be responsible for co-payments, co-insurance or maybe ALL charges! Call your Primary Physician or Specialist. Tell the office or Answering Service that you or your Family member is in so and so Emergency Room, so and so hospital and you want your Doctor to either: Come to the hospital and examine you to determine if you should be admitted to the hospital as an inpatient                                            OR Have your doctor speak to the Emergency Room physician who is treating you, in order to determine if you will be admitted or able to be discharged from the Emergency Room.   You Should NOT have to be in an Emergency Room for up to 23 and a quarter hours UNDER OBSERVATION! Your Primary Doctor is the “Quarterback of your health team!” Your Primary Doctor is in charge of your health care! That is what they get paid to do all that extra paperwork for!
