Medicare Insurance Fraud: What You Should Do if You Suspect a Company is Defrauding Medicare

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

Medicare shams damage all of us with steeper costs, soaring taxations, and, since those who measuredly swindle Medicare are outlaws who target on individuals in need of medical assistance, the elevated likelihood that the patients themselves may not be finding the treatment or help they need.

Medicare dupery results in the loss of hundreds of millions of bucks every year and a decrease in Medicare Benefits, and patients and family units are the first line of defense when it comes to precluding Medicare fraud. Some of the means to answer this is to review your Medicare Summary Notice (MSN) when you obtain it to make sure you know what all the particulars and servicing listed are and see whether or not you really received everything named. If you don’t understand the statement or don’t think you got something on the list, call the doctor’s office staff and have it explained to you. If you don’t get a right resolution, you can then call the company that paid your Medicare claim. Their contact information will be listed on your MSN and they have a crude stake in helping you preclude Medicare fraud. If you think somebody has perpetrated Medicare fraud and don’t have the MSN, you can call the hotline at 1-800-447-8477

You can also help prevent Medicare fraud before it occurs by being a keen consumer. For instance, be more questioning of any supplier who remarks to be endorsed by Medicare or the government…specially if they claim to represent Medicare or initiate contact with you via teleselling or undeviating salesmen.

Imparting your Medicare Health Insurance Claim Number or Medicare card to a supplier who postulates that “Medicare doesn’t ordinarily cover this, but we know how to make them to pay for it” is asking for trouble, as is dealing with suppliers who postulate that “Medicare wishes you to get this”. Medicare is an insurance program - what insurance company have you ever heard of that wishes to ante up for greater than they absolutely have to???

Too, you should not render your card or number to whatever supplier who pronounces they will do something for you for free and all you need to do is present them your Medicare number. You can bet they’ll bill Medicare for something…and you likely won’t have received it.

Medicare fraudulence is an on-going problem and you can help end it. You can study more about Medicare fraud and learn more about how to apply for Medicare benefits at Medicare.gov

Three Different Forms of Arthritis

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis usually takes hold around the time of middle age. It is far and away the most common type of arthritis with the discomfort and pain varying from very mild to severe. It is seen as part of the aging process but could also develop as a consequence of an injury. It is a progressive disease, where the condition gradually gets worse. The everyday wear and tear on the cartilage that surrounds our joints eventually leads to Osteoarthritis. Over time, the cartilage gradually wears down, the joints are no longer protected and cushioned. They may become swollen, stiff, and painful to the touch. The discomfort and pain is usually worse in the spine, fingers, hips and knees. Statistics show that up to 90% of the population over age 60 will develop some form of Osteoarthritis. As a general rule, women tend to suffer more in their fingers whilst men feel the discomfort and pain in their knees and hips.

Ankylosing Spondylitis

Ankylosing Spondylitis is a rheumatic disease that causes degeneration in the spine and sacroiliac joints. It can also affect the ankles, knees, lungs, heart valves, shoulders and inflammation of the eyes. The definitive cause of Ankylosing Spondylitis isn’t known but in some cases it has developed after a bowel or urinary tract infection, potentially triggering the autoimmune response. The most common symptom is a loss of flexibility in the lumbar spine and in more severe cases, inflammation of the eye, fever, fatigue, weight loss or anaemia. Although it can be debilitating and painful an early diagnosis and treatment may decrease the amount of functional loss and pain enabling patients to enjoy the activities they have always enjoyed.

Diagnosis and Treatment

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) – this provides a much better view of the changes that occur in the sacroiliac joint during the early development of Ankylosing Spondylitis. Physicians are better placed to prescribe therapies and treatments to slow the loss of function and mobility.

Tumour Necrosis Factor Blockers - these treatments, usually reserved for patients with tumours, show a high effectiveness in reducing spinal inflammation. Regrettably, research has shown that once the treatment has stopped most patient’s relapse.

Unfortunately, Ankylosing Spondylitis is a lifelong ailment and those patients who fail to continue therapy and treatment experience permanent posture and mobility loss.

Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis

Many of us believe that arthritis is an affliction that only affects us when we are growing old. This is not true. There are many children in the United States suffering with arthritis. This type of arthritis is known as Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. Children are usually diagnosed between the ages of six months and sixteen years. The most common symptoms are stiffness and swelling of the joints, muscle pain and difficulty in completing what would be considered normal day to day physical tasks.

Whilst the symptoms of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis are similar to the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis in adults, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis differs from the adult condition in that the disease is classified into three specific types:

● Polyarticular

● Pauciarticular

● Systematic juvenile rheumatoid arthritis

Regrettably, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis also differs from adult rheumatoid arthritis in terms of side effects. A child with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis may also experience skin rashes, fevers, and a swollen spleen and lymph nodes. The fevers and skin rashes may worsen or improve intermittently. Unfortunately, any swelling of the spleen or lymph nodes may just worsen with time. The origins of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis are not known but we do know that the characteristics of the condition are the same as adult rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder. The child’s immune system attacks and destroys it’s own tissues, mistaking them for bacteria, a virus or some other alien body.

The treatment for juvenile rheumatoid arthritis include:

● Drugs - NSAID class drugs such as naproxen and ibuprofen

● Regular physical exercise - swimming and water exercises are highly recommended but not high impact sports and activities such as running and tennis
