"But it makes a lot of sense especially when you think about how traditional healers and shamans have worked, they haven't felt that separation from nature like Western medics do. And so to rely on the knowledge of other species actually makes a lot of sense. It's probably a lot more than we know at the moment." - Jaap de Roode Jaap de Roode is a biology professor at Emory University, and he is the author of an astonishing new book called Doctors by Nature How Ants, Apes, and Other Animals Heal Themselves . I say astonishing because I had no idea about so much of what he explores in his book. It never occured to me to consider that other species use medicine and have been healing themselves forever. Jaap tells stories of animals across nature, from bumblebees to chimpanzees, how they use plants and natural substances to treat infections, to ward off parasites, to self-medicate. There's so much that we have learned from them, and there's so much more that we still can.…

Medicare Advantage Minute headline:

HCA Medical System sees way too many prior authorization denials!

This Nashville based health system (with 186 hospitals and 2400 care sites in 20 states and the UK) is fighting back against the intense Medicare Advantage pressure of prior authorization service denials: trying to beat them at their own game!

From the government publication "Your Medicare Benefits" comes a description of how Medicare covers Advanced Care Planning.

Finally, the plaintive plea for help from our new client arrives. This sets in motion a plan to use the "Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period" to disenroll from the problematic Medicare Advantage plans the husband had been sweet-talked into joining.

Just what a cancer patient wants to spend his time and energy doing! In the "Your Medicare Benefits 2024" segment we learn how Medicare is likely to cover depression screenings. Won't help the hero in the previous story though; Medicare Advantage participants have Medicare taken away from them! Good news for those who value a happy workplace: the number of physicians who are thinking about leaving medicine has dropped 22%. A resoundingly positive testimonial from our friend Dominick Regina!

In the "Medicare Advantage Minute" we learn what hospitals are trying to do about the tensions created by MA plans. For instance, in a recent year claim denials surged 55% on Medicare Advantage plans! In "Your Medicare Benefits 2024" some of the situations in which Medicare will actually pay for dental work are listed. Medical complications like some cancer treatments, transplants and undergoing treatment as an inpatient may be enough justification for Medicare to authorize payment for some dental procedures. Then enjoy a tutorial on the IRMAA penalty (Income Related Monthly Adjustment Amount) and my recommended method for trying to weasel out of it! Finally, Toni King teaches writer Laura, and everybody else, on the proper way to cause her Medicare Advantage plan to self-destruct so she can rejoin original Medicare Parts A & B and enjoy the protection her Medicare supplement was designed to provide!

In the "Medicare Advantage Minute" an investigation concluded that the vast majority of dental plans attached to MA plans do not meet the standards generally available from employer group insurance. The "Your Medicare Benefits 2024" segment revealed that Medicare will pay 100% of the charges for testing and treatment of Covid-19 (Wuhan Flu). Ransom letters threatening data breaches have been received by several hospitals according to the AHA. In this podcaster's opinion, repeal of HIPPA would remove the incentive and free the medical industry of a great deal of costly burden. Valued client Dean, fresh from a trans-Atlantic trip across the Equator, expressed admiration for the classy way in which United American announced an upcoming rate increase. Finally, Kelly, a friend of valued clients Becky & Lester, wrote to ask how "Medicare Advantage Trial Rights' might be advantageous to her. APOLOGIES to readers of the newly released "Medicare for the Lazy Man 2025..". There are several typos that must be corrected.

Medicare Advantage Minute, content provided by Diane Omdahl: MA plans typically have two caps on out-of-pocket, unreimbursed costs; one on the drug benefits and one on the medical expenses. Your Medicare Benefits 2024: How does Medicare cover Concierge Care? Not at all. How does Medicare cover Continuous Glucose Monitors? Very likely if your doctor asserts that you meet the criteria for eligibility. Some purchasers of Medicare supplement plans are risk averse and afraid of the very limited cost sharing imposed by the low priced High Deductible "High Value" Plan G. State birthday rules to the rescue! More and more states are mandating rights to change Medicare supplement plans under certain circumstances without having to show evidence of good health. This removes much of the perceived risk of this best of all Medicare choices.
