Medicare – Open Enrollment

/in /by

For 2019 Medicare coverage, from October 15 through December 7, 2018, anyone who has a Medicare plan can change health care plans. During this time, known as the Annual Enrollment Period, you may make a change to your Medicare coverage.

Before you make any changes to your plans, make sure that your current health care providers are still in the plan’s provider network. If you are not sure, call your provider’s office to see what plans they will be accepting in 2019.

New Medicare Cards

/in /by

New Medicare Card

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is required to remove Social Security Numbers (SSNs) from all Medicare cards by April 2019. A new, unique Medicare Number is replacing the SSN-based Health Insurance Claim Number (HICN) on each new Medicare card. Since April 2018, CMS has been mailing new Medicare cards to all people with Medicare on a flow basis, based on geographic location and other factors.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

According to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, each year in the U.S., about 237,000 cases of breast cancer are diagnosed in women and about 2,100 in men. About 41,000 women and 450 men in the U.S. die each year from breast cancer.

Breast Cancer Screening Recommendations:

The United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) is an organization made up of doctors and disease experts who look at research on the best way to prevent diseases and make recommendations on how doctors can help patients avoid diseases or find them early.

USPSTF recommends that women who are 50 to 74 years old and are at average risk for breast cancer get a mammogram every two years. Women who are 40 to 49 years old should talk to their doctor or other health care professional about when to start and how often to get a mammogram. Women should weigh the benefits and risks of screening tests when deciding whether to begin getting mammograms before age 50.
