  • Ep. 854 - Sad to say, the trivia answer presented here was incorrect. Jimi died in 1970!
    Sep 12 2025

    In the Medicare Advantage Minute we learn a little something about the nation's largest provider of drugs to long term care facilities: CVS Omnicare. They seem to have defrauded themselves right into a $1 billion federal fine.

    A very short "Your Medicare Benefits 2025" tells us how Medicare might handle charges for patient lifts.

    As of this recording something around 20 states offer some sort of relief from Medicare supplement medical underwriting regulations. Of those, roughly 14 or 15 currently have "Birthday Rules".

    Finally, American hospitals are grappling with a new problem: imposter nurses!

    Sep 10 2025

    Johns Hopkins made the final break with United Healthcare provider networks: Medicare Advantage Minute

    How about Pancreas Transplants? That is today's subject in our segment: Your Medicare Benefits 2025

    Who has been given credit for shutting down a $10 billion Medicare fraud scheme having to do with skin substitutes? Why, everyone's favorite president, that's who! No, not Ronald Reagan!

    For those who are financially strapped and need some relief from Medicare premium costs, I recommend the MSP: Medicare Savings Plan! It might be the answer, if you can meet the qualifications.

    Finally, when I look at the list of potential guests who are available to join us for an episode, I only see a whole lot of wackiness.
