Health Matters is a weekly radio show sponsored by the Medicine Center Pharmacy on WHBC 1480 AM in Canton, Ohio. This episode pharmacists Brad White and Paul White discuss Medicare Open Enrollment Period with Mike Novelli, Vice President of Aultcare and Denise Fogle, PrimeTime Sales Representative with PrimeTime Health Plan.

It is the annual open enrollment period from October 15 to December 7.  One recent study shows that 9 out of 10 Medicare patients are NOT in the plan best suited for their needs.   It’s not surprising, because, frankly, what could be more confusing than selecting the best Medicare plan for you?  If you find Medicare confusing or are concerned that you aren’t in the best Medicare plan, our show today is dedicated to you.  We want to help you be that 1 in 10 patients who found the best plan to meet their needs.  Please join us today as we learn about Medicare Plans during Open Enrollment.

Some of the topics covered in this program:

1. What is AEP when it comes to Medicare plans?

2. What type of changes do beneficiaries make during AEP?

3. What happens if someone would miss the timeframe to change during AEP?

4. What is the benefit of having an Advantage plan over Original Medicare A & B?

5. What happens if my doctor is not in the network of the Advantage plan?

6. What happens if I’m on an Advantage Plan and go on vacation; am I covered?

7. What if I have to go into the hospital while out of network? Is that covered?

8. Can you explain a formulary and what it means to find your medication on a formulary?

9. The term donut hole relates to Medicare Part D Coverage. Can you explain what the donut hole is and if everyone falls into it?

10. What are some other benefits on PrimeTime Health Plan HMO-POS that you don’t get with original Medicare?

Health Matters is a weekly radio show sponsored by the Medicine Center Pharmacy on WHBC 1480 AM in Canton, Ohio. This episode pharmacists Brad White and Paul White discuss hormone balancing for both men and women with Dr. Timothy McKnight from Dennison, Ohio.

Bioidentical hormones are defined as man-made hormones that are very similar to the hormones produced by the human body. They can be used as treatment for men and women whose own hormones are low or out of balance. Some prescription forms of bioidentical hormones are commercially made by a drug company. Other forms can be custom-made by a pharmacist based on a doctor’s prescription order. This is called compounding. The US Food and Drug Administration has approved a number of bioidentical estradiol and progesterone medications, which are molecularly identical to the structure of the hormones generated by the human body. They have been through testing for safety and purity and to be sure each dose has the same amount of hormones.  Compounded medications use bulk chemical versions of these sourced from FDA approved distributors.

If you would like to learn more about compounding, we invite you to speak to our pharmacists or you can read more here from our professional partner Professional Compounding Centers of America (PCCA).

This edition of Health Matters is an excellent summary of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT). Dr. McKnight and the Medicine Center have worked to serve patient needs for over 15 years. If you have benefited from BHRT please consider sending us a testimonial about your experience.

There is significant political pressure against allowing physicians to prescribe custom compounded medications in the USA for hormone replacement medications. Please visit our customer advocacy site to be informed on the risk of losing compounded medications. In America, we should have the freedom of choosing how we prescribe and receive health care.
