Medicare
Medicare & You When turning 65
Medicare begin at 65!
1. Sign up for Medicare through Social Security
If you're over 65 (or turning 65 in the next 3 months) and not already getting benefits from Social Security, you need to sign up to get Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medical Insurance).
You won't get Medicare automatically if you are not already getting social security.
We have a link on our website
https://www.InsuredMeds.com
When is Medicare Automatic?
If you already get benefits from Social Security, you'll get Medicare Part A and Part B automatically when you're first eligible and don't need to sign up. Medicare will send you a "Welcome to Medicare" packet 3 months before you turn 65. You'll still have other important deadlines and actions to take, so read all of the materials in the packet.
(If you live in Puerto Rico, you'll only get Part A. If you want Part B, you need to sign up for it.)
https://www.InsuredMeds.com
Full Benefit Age
Your FRA depends on your year of birth, and if you're turning 65 in 2020, it means your FRA is 66 and two months. As such, you'll reduce your monthly benefit by roughly 7.8% if you file for Social Security at 65 versus waiting another 14 months.
Keep in mind that while Medicare and Social Security are related programs, you're allowed to sign up for one without the other. If you wind up enrolling in Medicare in time for your 65th birthday, you can still hold off on claiming Social Security. If you do so, you'll need to pay your monthly Medicare premiums yourself as opposed to having them deducted from your Social Security benefits, which happens automatically once you start collecting them. But a touch of inconvenience is worth avoiding a reduction in benefits if you don't need that Social Security income right away.

Coverage Options
2. Choose your coverage
People get Medicare coverage in different ways.
You'll get lots of information to help you make a decision about how to get your Medicare coverage:
An official "Welcome to Medicare" packet with important information about your coverage options.
Your official "Medicare & You" handbook once you're enrolled and every year each fall.
Mail from private insurance companies, agents and brokers, marketing the Medicare plans they offer and our website.
Original Medicare
Original Medicare – Includes Part A and Part B. You can use any doctor or hospital that takes Medicare, anywhere in the U.S.
If you want drug coverage, you can join a separate Medicare Prescription Drug Plan (Part D) .To help pay your out-of-pocket costs in Original Medicare (like your 20% coinsurance), you can also shop for and buy supplemental coverage like a Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) policy to cover the 20%.
If you don't get Part D or a Medigap policy when you're first eligible, you may have to pay more to get this coverage later. For Part D, this could mean a lifetime premium penalty.
All In One Plan
Medicare Advantage – Is nn "all in one" alternative to Original Medicare.
These "bundled" plans include Part A, Part B, and usually Part D. Most plans offer extra benefits that Original Medicare doesn't cover – like vision, hearing, dental, and more.
Plans may have lower out-of-pocket costs than Original Medicare.
In most cases, you'll need to use doctors who are in the plan's network.
Medicare Advantage Plans
Medicare Advantage Plans are a type of Medicare health plan offered by a private company that contracts with Medicare to provide all your Part A and Part B benefits. Most Medicare Advantage Plans also offer prescription drug coverage. If you’re enrolled in a Medicare Advantage Plan, most Medicare services are covered through the plan. Your Medicare services aren’t paid for by Original Medicare. Below are the most common types of Medicare Advantage Plans.
Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) Plans
Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) Plans
Private Fee-for-Service (PFFS) Plans
Special Needs Plans (SNPs)

How Water Can Prevent Kidney Stones
How Water Can Prevent Kidney Stones &
Heart AttacksHeart attacks: • Most heart attacks occur in the morning usually between 6AM and noon.
If you have a heart attack during the night, when the heart should be most at rest, it means that something unusual happened.
Current research is indicating that Sleep Apnea can be to blame for nighttime heart attacks.
Sleep Apnea:
Sudden drops in blood oxygen levels that occur during sleep apnea increase blood pressure and strain the cardiovascular system. ... Obstructive sleep apnea might also increase your risk of recurrent heart attack, stroke and abnormal heartbeats, such as atrial fibrillation. People who have obstructive sleep apnea — when a person stops breathing for periods during sleep — have a greater risk of sudden cardiac death, according to a study published online in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. ... In that time, 142 patients died of sudden cardiac death.
Drink Plenty of Water
Drinking extra water dilutes the substances in urine that lead to stones. .You should also drink ginger ale, lemon-lime sodas, and fruit juices. The citrate in these beverages helps block stone formation.
Get the calcium you need: Getting too little calcium in your diet can cause oxalate levels to rise and cause kidney stones.
Why Drinking Water is Important:
Drinking water at a certain time maxims the effectiveness of the body.
Drinking water at bedtime will also help prevent nocturnal leg cramps.
Your leg muscles are seeking hydration when they cramp and you wake up with what is called a Charliehorse.
What About Aspirin?
• If you take a baby aspirin once a day, also take one at night.
The reason: aspirin has a 24 hour “half-life”; since most heart attacks occur in the early morning hours, aspirin would still be in your system.
Aspirin lasts a long time in your medicine cabinet for years. Keep some aspirin by your bedside.
Why? Because heart attacks happen most while you are still in bed.
Side effects and complications of taking aspirin include Stroke caused by a burst blood vessel. While daily aspirin can help prevent a clot-related stroke, it may increase your risk of a bleeding stroke (hemorrhagic stroke). Gastrointestinal bleeding.
What More To Drink
Drink plenty of fluids, particularly water.
Eat less salt. ...
Have only 2 or 3 servings a day of foods with a lot of calcium, such as milk, cheese, yogurt, oysters, and tofu.
Eat lemons or oranges, or drink fresh lemonade. ...
Limit how much protein you eat.
Wine. Yes, you read that correctly. ...
Cranberry Juice. This tart red drink is good for both your urinary tract and kidney health. .
Plenty of WATER
How To Tell If Your Drinking Enough Water
The easiest way to know if you're drinking enough fluid is to look at the colour of your urine. If you're drinking enough water, your urine will be clear or pale yellow. A darker yellow means you aren't drinking enough water.
• Persistent Bad Breath. Water is essential for saliva production and helps rinse away bacteria so you can maintain healthy teeth and gums. ...
• Fatigue. Not drinking enough water can cause an overall fluid loss in the body. ...
• Frequent Illness. ...
• Constipation. ...
• Poor Skin Health. ...
• Sugar Cravings. ...
• Decreased Urination.

NeoBladder Created From Your Own Intestines-No Colostomy
NeoBladder Created From Your Own Intestines-No Colostomy
What is a colostomy?
A colostomy is an opening (stoma) in the large intestine (colon), or the surgical procedure that creates one. The opening is formed by drawing the healthy end of the colon through an incision in the anterior abdominal wall and suturing it into place. This opening, often in conjunction with an attached stoma appliance, provides an alternative channel for feces to leave the body. Thus if the natural anusis not available for that job (for example, in cases where it has been removed in the fight against colorectal cancer or ulcerative colitis), an artificial anus takes over. It may be reversible or irreversible, depending on the circumstances of the colon through an incision in the takes over. It may be reversible or irreversible, depending on the circumstances.
Reconstruction of Bladder
Neobladder reconstruction is a surgical procedure to construct a new bladder. After bladder removal surgery (cystectomy) for bladder cancer or another condition, your surgeon must create a new way for urine to exit your body (urinary diversion).

ROBOCALL SCAM ON SENIORS
Robocall Scam On Seniors & Veterans https://youtu.be/jTMK4TByOB0
A senior citizen got a call from someone claiming that his Social Security number had been “compromised,” according to report.
The “Robo type” caller told the senior to call a special number, in order to fix the so-called problem.
Instead, the senior did what police say a victim should always do in a case like this — call the police.
Law enforcement told him to get a free credit check, to confirm that his social security number had not been used in a fraudulent manner.
These types of robocall scams are happening across America.
The fraudulent schemers target senior citizens and Medicare Part D participants. The scams can occur anytime, but they tend to increase during tax filing time when getting someone’s Social Security number can provide access to a person’s tax return information.
1-800-772-1214 Comes On Caller I.D.
• The Robo caller even has a way for the Social Security Administration’s national customer service line to come upon a person’s caller ID.
• The schemer identifies themselves to the senior or veteran as an SSA representative. They then tell the senior or veteran that the SSA does not have all their required information, such as their Social Security Number, on file.
Another scheme is that the SSA need additional information to increase the senior or veterans benefit check, or that the SSA will stop the senior or veterans payments if they do not confirm their information.
"A legitimate caller will leave a message and you can call them back."
Protect Yourself
• An SSA staffer will never tell you that you can lose your benefits or increase your benefits in return for you providing the requested information.
• If you get this robocall it is a fraud scheme and you should hang up. Hanging up is your best protection if you get this type of call.
• Never give your SS number or banking information to someone that called you out of the blue either on the phone or over the internet.
Report this scheme to the Office of the Inspector General at 800-269-0271 or oig.ssa.gov/report.

CBD FOR YOUR PETS HEALTH
CBD Oil For Your Pet
What Does CBD Do For Dogs
CBD Oil for Dogs: How it Works. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a substance that is found in a cannabis or hemp plant. Unlike THC that creates a 'buzz', CBD is NOT a psychoactive stimulus, but rather provides your dog with a calming feeling and pain-relieving sensations without harming them with potential intoxicating effects.
Like in humans CBD has been shown to treat seizures and epilepsy, relieve chronic pain/Arthritis, boost appetite and reduce anxiety.
CBD Oil & Cats
There can be some adverse effects to giving your cat CBD oil, including gastrointestinal upset and some sedation, both of which can be relieved by discontinuing the use of the oil.
CBD oil is also effective for treating and preventing skin conditions. While most of the time CBD oil will be administered orally, cat owners can also apply CBD oil on their cats' skin. This can improve irritation because cats have cannabis receptors on the surface of their skin.
Being able to discuss all types of treatments with your veterinarian is key, and checking in with your vet before giving your pet any sort of cannabis. There’s no reason to ever start giving any kind of medication or supplement without having a conversation with your veterinarian first.
How Long Does It Take For CBD To Take Effect?
In the majority of cases, it takes about an hour for the pet to feel the effects of CBD oil after the pet ingests it. However, effects may occur in as little as 20 minutes on an empty stomach. The more food the pet has eaten before consuming CBD oil, the longer the effects will take to kick in.
As with everything we put in our, and our pets’, bodies, it comes down to proper dosage.
• SeniorsJoints.com CBD Oil is the highest quality CBD on the market and provides a variety of benefits. This product is safe for use and legal in all 50 states. Available as a tincture, it is easy to use and integrates comfortable with your daily routine.
• ALL NATURAL FORMULA Our CBD Oil uses proven, organic all natural ingredients that are toxin-free. Our CBD Oil is 100% natural and does not contain any dangerous synthetic chemicals, stimulants or pesticides.
• NO SIDE EFFECTS Our CBD Oil does not contain THC, therefore you don’t have any side effects. THC is the cannabinoid in Marijuana that gets smokers “High”. Fortunately for you, the health benefit comes from the Hemp CBD and not from the THC.
NO PRESCRIPTION REQUIRED Being safe and legal, our Hemp CBD can be ordered from our website, so you can skip the long queues and expensive bills at the doctor.

Being able to discuss all types of treatments with your veterinarian is key, and checking in with your vet before giving your pet any sort of cannabis. There’s no reason to ever start giving any kind of medication or supplement without having a conversation with your veterinarian first.
How Long Does It Take For CBD To Take Effect?
In the majority of cases, it takes about an hour for the pet to feel the effects of CBD oil after the pet ingests it. However, effects may occur in as little as 20 minutes on an empty stomach. The more food the pet has eaten before consuming CBD oil, the longer the effects will take to kick in.
As with everything we put in our, and our pets’, bodies, it comes down to proper dosage.

Health Care For Female Veterans
Health Care For Female Vets
Female Vets Deserve Better
Our female veterans deserve better care when they come home. They deserve treatment opportunities and care that is gender specific. Trying to tailor medical and mental health treatments designed for men to work with women is not an option. Systems must be designed so that women who serve are properly cared for in every aspect, with gender specific treatment options and devices.
Access to gender-appropriate care for these veterans is essential.
Gender Differences in Treatment for Disabilities
A troubling area where female veterans are not provided adequate and equal care after their service is in treatment for disabilities. Many women lose one or more limbs just like male veterans do, however prosthetic devices, support, and medical care for these injuries are based on male physiology. Women tend to have smaller arms and shoulders, with wider hips and legs than male counterparts.
Prosthetic used for women tend to fit improperly because of the physical differences between the genders. This can create many hardships, and cause considerable emotional distress as well as problems with confidence and self-esteem for female veterans. While customized prosthetic for women are available on the private market they are generally not offered by government agencies.
Vital Healthcare Services For Female Veterans are Lacking
The number of women veterans is growing, and the VA is simply not doing enough to meet their health, social, and economic needs.
As more women serve in the military, the rates of PTSD in women veterans continue to keep pace with male statistics. Although some of it is caused by combat or related stress, the effects of Military Sexual Trauma (MST) have an outsized effect on women.
The DoD and the VA still fall short of providing equitable health care services to all veterans. There are few, if any, gender specific care guidelines and services that are necessary for women such as breast and cervical cancer screenings. Policies must be changed and improved on so that women who serve are not left behind once they return home.
The best way for a female veteran is to have other health insurance other than the VA. Once a female veteran has been disabled for two years and receiving social security she can then apply for Medicare and receive additional medical benefits, those who turn 65 automatically qualify for Medicare.
What Services Does VA Offer Female Vets?
VA provides comprehensive primary care that includes services for acute and chronic illnesses, preventive services, and gender-specific care, and other services. VA’s medical staff are experts in providing medical care and services beyond primary care, including:
• Mammography
• Gynecology
• Military sexual trauma-related care
• Counseling
• Military and environmental exposure
Women Veterans can apply for VA health care enrollment and other Veterans benefits by completing VA Form 10- 10EZ. To complete the form:
• Apply online at www.1010ez.med.va.gov •
Visit, call, or write to any VA health care facility or Veterans’ benefits office • Call the VA Health Benefits Call Center toll free at 877-222-VETS (8387)

Why Get Other Insurance If You Have VA Healthcare?
Why Get Other Insurance If You Have VA Healthcare?
How VA works with other health insurance!
Why VA Asks About Other Coverage’s
Why does VA require you to provide information on your health insurance coverage (including coverage under a spouse’s plan)?
They ask for this information because they have to bill your private health insurance provider for any care, supplies, or medicine we provide to treat your non-service-connected conditions (illnesses or injuries that aren’t related to your military service).
They don’t bill Medicare or Medicaid, but we may bill Medicare supplemental health insurance for covered services.
Non-Services Care
What if my health insurance provider doesn’t cover all the non-service-connected care that VA bills them for?
You won’t have to pay any unpaid balance not covered by your health insurance provider. But, depending on your eligibility priority group, you may have to pay a VA copayment for non-service-connected care.
Does it help me in any way to give VA my health insurance information?
Yes. Giving the VA your health insurance information helps you because:
▪ When your private health insurance provider pays them for your non-service-connected care, VA may be able to use the funds to offset part—or all—of your VA copayment.
▪ Your private insurer may apply your VA health care charges toward your annual deductible (the amount of money you pay toward your care each year before your insurance starts paying for care).
▪
Does your current health insurance status affect whether you can get VA health care benefits?
No. Whether or not you have health insurance coverage doesn’t affect the VA health care benefits you can get.
Note: It’s always a good idea to let your VA doctor know if you’re receiving care outside VA. This helps your provider coordinate your care to help keep you safe and make sure you’re getting care that’s proven to work and that meets your specific needs.
If You Are Accepted Into VA Health Care Program
Should you give up my private health insurance or other insurance (like TRICARE or Medicare) if you’r accepted into the VA health care program?
This is your decision. You can save money if you drop your private health insurance, but there are risks. The VA encourages you to keep your insurance because:
▪ The VA doesn’t normally provide care for Veterans’ family members. So, if you drop your private insurance plan, your family may have no health coverage.
▪ The VA doesn’t know if Congress will provide enough funding in future years for it to care for all Veterans who are signed up for VA health care. If you’re in one of the lower priority groups, you could lose your VA health care benefits in the future. And, if you don’t keep your private insurance, this would leave you with no coverage.
▪ If you have Medicare Part B (coverage for doctors and outpatient services) and you cancel it, you won’t be able to get it back until January of the following year. And, you may have to pay a penalty to get your coverage back.
Should You Signup For Medicare When You Turn 65
Yes. The VA encourages you to sign up for Medicare as soon as you can. This is because:
▪ The VA doesn’t know if Congress will provide enough funding in future years for it to provide care for all Veterans who are signed up for VA health care. If you’re in one of the lower priority groups, you could lose your VA health care benefits in the future.
▪ Having Medicare means you’re covered if you need to go to a non-VA hospital or doctor—so you have more options to choose from.
▪ If you delay signing up for Medicare Part B (coverage for doctors and outpatient services) and then need to sign up later because you lose your VA health care benefits or need more choice in care options, you’ll pay a penalty. This penalty gets bigger each year you delay signing up—and you’ll pay it every year for the rest of your life.
▪ If you sign up for Medicare Part D (coverage for prescription drugs), you’ll be able to use it to get medicine from non-VA doctors and fill your prescriptions at your local pharmacy instead of through the VA mail-order service. But you should know that VA prescription drug coverage is better than Medicare coverage—and there’s no penalty for delaying Medicare Part D.
Having Both VA & Medicare
If you signed up for VA health care, and you also have Medicare, what’s covered by each?
You’ll need to choose which benefits to use each time you receive care.
To use VA benefits, you’ll need to get care at a VA medical center or other VA location. The VA also covers your care if they pre-authorize you (meaning we give you permission ahead of time) to get services in a non-VA hospital or other care setting. Keep in mind that you may need to pay a VA copayment for non-service-connected care.
If you go to a non-VA care setting, Medicare may pay for your care. Or, if the VA only authorizes some services in a non-VA location, then Medicare may pay for other services you may need during your stay. Check your Medicare plan so you know which care locations and services you’re covered for.
Health Savings Account (HSA) And VA Care
Can you use your Health Savings Account (HSA) or Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) to help pay for VA care for non-service-connected conditions?
Yes. The VA may bill and accept reimbursement from High Deductible Health Plans (HDHPs) for medical care and services to treat your non-service-connected conditions. If you have an HDHP linked to an HSA, you can use your HSA to pay your VA copayments for non-service-connected care.
The VA may also accept reimbursement from HRAs for care the VA provides to treat your non-service-connected conditions.

Can You Use CBD Oil Instead of Painkillers To Deal With Arthritis?
Can You Use CBD Oil Instead of Painkillers To Deal With Arthritis?
CBD is just as effective as prescription painkillers and isn’t addictive at all!
If you don’t fell comfortable taking painkillers why not try CBD Oil?
Ditching The Drugs
CBD oil is a trending topic in the world of medicine at the moment, with talk about its various health benefits that traditional medicines lack. Some suffers from arthritis has ditched the use of painkillers for CBD oil, which reports claim it is more effective in treating symptoms of the joint condition.CBD oil is being studied in trials for the treatment of symptoms of a host of other health conditions, such as cancer, although research is still in early stages.
Some patients with arthritis has ditched paracetamol and ibuprofen for the treatment of their condition, in favour of CBD oil, which they says has improved their symptoms.
Cannabidiol know as CBD and is non-psychoactive . It is CBD oil is made from cannabidiol, which is a chemical compound found in the cannabis hemp plant.
CBD Natural Remedy
CBD Oil doesn’t make me feel nauseous like the painkillers so you may be able to stop taking paracetamol and ibuprofen.
If you want to stay active by biking, dancing or and walking so it’s important to stay as supple as possible.
“The effects of CBD oil take time to become noticeable but after a week of taking it you should really notice a difference in your ability to move around and not feel so old and agile.
Most of us notice arthritis more in the winter, when the cold weather worsens the condition.
How CBD Works
How Cannabis Oil Works
According to Medical News Today, the body has two cannabinoid receptors: CB1 and CB2. A majority of CB1 receptors are located in the brain and are associated with cognitive actions related to coordination, mood, thinking, memory, and appetite. The CB2 receptors, on the other hand, can be found in the immune system. This makes them more responsible for the body’s response to pain and inflammation.
Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, attaches to the CB1 receptors, which explains why smoking or otherwise ingesting marijuana affects users on a cognitive level.
However, CBD impacts the CB2 receptors. And it does so indirectly, not by attaching to the CB2 receptor, but by enticing the body to make more of its own cannabinoids. This creates a positive effect on the body’s pain and inflammation responses.
Arthritis Foundation
According to the Arthritis Foundation, some preliminary research suggests CBD oil may help with arthritis pain, with animal studies showing a reduction in pain and inflammation.
However, the arthritis expert notes that the results of human studies are mixed.
“For example, a 2016 analysis of human trials for rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia found that CBD improved pain and sleep, but the studies were small and of poor quality,” said the Arthritis Foundation.
“If you want to try CBD, discuss it with your doctor first and do your homework. Talk to a practitioner who is familiar with CBD oil and contact the manufacturer to see proof of a third-party analysis for purity and potency,” said the Arthritis Foundation.

CBD For Weight Loss
CBD, which comes in a wide variety of forms including salves, edibles and oils, does not produce the high typically associated with marijuana. But CBD seems to help people deal with pain, inflammation and even seizures, although even medical researchers and professionals aren't sure why it works, how it works or even how much to use for what ailments.
cannabinoids are "safer than Tylenol or caffeine by tenfold. If you compare them to opiates, they're about 10,000 times safer." He recommends placing a few drops of the oil under the tongue.
All cannabis is illegal on the federal level. But cannabis-based CBD products with THC are widely available in states where it is legal. These products have varying ratios of CBD to THC, and because there are no official medical guidelines on dosage, patients are left to determine for themselves how much to take or how to modify their ratio. "You have to find the point at which you're comfortable, hopefully, and that will include as much THC as works per person. "Some people do better at higher doses of CBD. Some people can tolerate higher doses of THC."
