<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">There’s good news for Medicare Advantage enrollees who like to have more choices and not-so-good news for those who find the enrollment process daunting.</span><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">The total number of Medicare Advantage plans has increased across the nation. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 18px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">And some plans are for the first time offering new perks, such as therapeutic massage and caregiver support services.</span> <span style="color: #f3f3f3;">“The 2019 Medicare Advantage plans overall have richer benefits than in previous years,” Fischer said.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 18px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">Medicare open enrollment began Oct. 15 and will end on Dec. 7. During this time you can choose and change plans. Your coverage starts Jan. 1.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 18px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">If you’re new to Medicare or plan to change coverage, you need to first decide whether you want to sign up for traditional Medicare or a Medicare Advantage plan.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 18px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">Traditional Medicare refers to Medicare Part A and B, for which the federal government sets reimbursement rates. Part A covers hospitals and Part B covers doctors visits and medical tests. You can supplement traditional Medicare with Medigap plans to cover costs not covered by traditional Medicare, such as deductibles and co-pays. You can also choose stand-alone prescription drug plans called Medicare Part D to cover your drug costs, which are offered by private insurers.</span></div>

<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">Medicare Part A’s in-patient deductible that beneficiaries will pay when admitted to the hospital is $1,364 in 2019, an increase of $24 from the previous year, according to Medicare.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 18px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">Medicare Part B premiums are also going up slightly from $134 to $135.50. The annual deductible for the program has also gone up by $2, to $185, <a href="https://www.cms.gov/newsroom/fact-sheets/2019-medicare-parts-b-premiums-and-deductibles" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">according to Medicare</a>.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 18px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">Meanwhile, the average monthly basic Part D premiums are expected to fall, from $33.59 to $32.50.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 18px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">Then there’s Medicare Advantage.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 18px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">These are plans that are offered by private insurers with Medicare’s approval that bundle coverage and can be easier to manage. Most cover drugs. If you pick one that doesn’t, you can supplement it with Medicare Part D plan. But unlike traditional Medicare, these plans have various deductibles and out-of-pocket costs. Make sure to take into account all those expenses before deciding on a plan.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 18px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">Medicare Advantage plans are also specific to each county, so double-check that the plan you pick is for your county.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 18px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">Medicare Advantage enrollment is expected to reach an all-time high in 2019. The federal government <a href="https://www.cms.gov/newsroom/press-releases/medicare-advantage-premiums-continue-decline-while-plan-choices-and-benefits-increase-2019" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">is projecting</a> that one-third of Medicare beneficiaries — almost 23 million individuals — will sign up for a Medicare Advantage plan during open enrollment this year. That’s an 11.5 percent increase from last year.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 18px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">On average, Medicare Advantage monthly premiums are estimated to decrease to $28 from an average of $29.81 in 2018.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 18px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">Also new this year with Medicare Advantage are new supplemental benefits, such as in-home care, caregiver support services and therapeutic massage, which are offered by 270 plans nationwide. These benefits are expected to be more widely available in 2020, Medicare officials said.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 18px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">Lipschutz advised consumers to find out whether the added benefits are available to all enrollees or only to ones who have certain chronic conditions.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 18px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">“Ask about the extra benefits. Ask, ‘is the extra thing being offered worth other tradeoffs?’ Transportation might be great but are the plan’s out-of-pocket costs higher?” he said.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 18px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">The worst thing you can do is take no action, even if you’re happy with your current plan, experts said. Plans change their networks and drug formularies each year, and if you haven’t read the information they’ve been mailing you in recent months, you may be in for a surprise come January.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 18px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">You can use several resources to find a plan that’s best for you. </span><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">SHINE counselors from the state Department of Elder Affairs can give you unbiased advice. If you’re tech-savvy, you can compare plans on medicare.gov. You can also speak with insurance brokers.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 18px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">If you’re turning 65, your insurance company may automatically switch you from your work or marketplace policy to its Medicare Advantage plan.</span> <span style="color: #f3f3f3;">If you have Medicare and receive a low-income subsidy, you should also watch for documents that require you to recertify your eligibility.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 18px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">And here’s one last piece of advice: watch out for scams and marketing violations. If you think someone representing a plan is violating the marketing rules, call the insurance company or your local SHINE office.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; display: inline !important; float: none; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="color: #f3f3f3;"></span><span style="background-color: #444444;"></span><br /></span>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; display: inline !important; float: none; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="color: #f3f3f3;"></span><span style="background-color: #444444;"></span><br /></span>

As long as your lymphatic tissues or lymph nodes have not been damaged or removed, there is no need to worry about lymphatic flow and drainage. </span>If you do have lymphedema due to removal of lymph nodes, please give us a call for an MLD session today. </span></span></span></span><br />

reported their dreams to a priest the following day. The priests prescribed various
therapies which included fasting, meditation, hypnosis, chanting, visits to the
baths or gymnasium and massage. These temples included carefully controlled
spaces conducive to healing, and the attendants at the temples were known as “Therapeutae,”
meaning “to serve, or heal” and is the root for the modern-day word, therapist.

<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 17.93px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="background-color: #444444; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Battling back against the opioid
epidemic by taking away one of the causes is why doctors are cracking down on
the drugs they prescribe.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 17.93px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="background-color: #444444; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">But that has patients scrambling to find ways to
fight the pain. Some patients said they have no choice, especially since some
of their physicians are going so far as to make them sign ‘patient contracts.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 17.93px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="background-color: #444444; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Others, like Michelle Block, say they just don’t
want prescription painkillers at all.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 17.93px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="background-color: #444444; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“My neck’s really bad isn’t it?” Block said laying
back on the massage table as her Chiropractor examined her.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 17.93px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="background-color: #444444; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">For her back, knee and neck pain, once a week Block
tries a more holistic approach.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 17.93px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="background-color: #444444; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“I think there were years ago where I wouldn’t have
tried something that’s not your traditional medicine, but I tried this and it
works for me,” she said.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 17.93px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="background-color: #444444; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">So she gets a therapeutic massage, body adjustments
and something called, dry needling, which is similar to acupuncture.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 17.93px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="background-color: #444444; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“You’ll try anything that seems reasonable,” she
said. “A lot of people think you’re a little bit out there when you start
talking about it.”</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 17.93px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="background-color: #444444; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">But Occupational Therapist Carol Leslie said these
methods and others like hypnotherapy can do more than just heal the body.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 17.93px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="background-color: #444444; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“It is the whole person, mind, body spirit,” said
Dr. Lesile.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 17.93px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="background-color: #444444; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">That’s why she said she’s seeing more patients
looking to overcome the pain.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 17.93px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="background-color: #444444; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Every aspect of their life has been touch by
pain.”</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 17.93px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="background-color: #444444; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Not everyone is seeking out doctors to manage their
pain. A recent National Health Interview Survey found 21 million adults said
they practice yoga now, that’s up nearly 5 percent in 2002.</span></span></div>

associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA). We have a
culture that promotes pills for pain — but we can do much better. Pain
medications are “chemical band-aids” that should never be the first line of
treatment. We should instead be investing our time and energy in
non-pharmacological alternatives that not only treat pain more effectively but
spare the potential for serious side effects. </b></span></span></div>

<div style="line-height: 16.5pt; margin: 0px 0px 15px 60px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="background-color: #444444; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Most neck pain is caused by
tension and posture issues.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Daily
life stressors and anxiety are perhaps the most frequent cause of
neck pain, as stress increases the muscle tone in structures of the body that
require frequent muscle activation to stabilize, the neck is the primary
victim of your stress.</b></span></span></div>

<span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="background-color: #444444; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>If
frequent, there could be association with migraines and headaches, which is
called cervicogenic headache. With regards to posture, a slouched posture that
constantly places the head or the shoulder in a forward position, will
shorten the suboccipital muscle groups (a series of short/strong muscles that
connect the back of the neck to the skull) and these will tilt the skull on the
neck vertebrae, placing tension on the muscles, and restrictions to the blood
flow of the vertebral artery, and thus create neck pain, headaches, and
migraines. Maintaining this posture of backward bending or extension over time,
will also put much pressure on the facet joints, in the back of the cervical
spine, and will translate onto osteoarthritis of the neck that will also cause
chronic pain.</b></span></span></div>
