Help Your Patients
Obviously your job is to help your patients. You do this every day by serving their health care needs. Here is another way you can assist them; help them stay abreast of health insurance changes. There are many free resources you can share with them. You could even create a little brochure with your information on it and have it at the front desk for them to take home and have handy by their phone. Here are some suggestions to help seniors:
Tip 1: Now is the time of year that seniors can opt-in to Medicare Part C. Here is some information regarding that process:

When patients opt-in to this program, they are opted-out of the traditional fee for service, with all its hassles, frustrations and stress. Patients control the funds. The doctor-patient relationship is restored for primary services. Here is the rest of the story: : MSA.
Tip 2: Let your seniors know the 2008 Medicare deductible information.
