(BPT) - The new year is a good time to reset. From a fresh start on lifestyle choices, hobbies or pursuits, to the less exciting — but no less important — aspects of life, like memberships, contracts and even health insurance. Health insurance deductibles reset in the new year, so it's a good idea to keep that in mind as you plan for healthcare expenses. Any changes made to your health insurance plan during open enrollment go into effect as well. "Even if you spent hours researching your health plan before making a selection, there's always a possibility for the occasional surprise once coverage kicks in, which is why it's important to assess your healthcare coverage and address any gaps before January 1," said Doug Armstrong, Vice President of Health Products and Services at AARP Services, Inc. "AARP members can take advantage of benefits available to them to help find the coverage and savings information they seek." 1. Examine your vision coverage Eye health is important to quality of life, both in terms of moving around safely and appreciating your surroundings. Regular eye exams with an ophthalmologist or optometrist can help make sure your vision is sharp while also monitoring for any issues. However, many health insurance plans don't include vision coverage. If you do see a gap in your coverage, AARP members have access to information on vision insurance options that offer individual and family plans, featuring a large doctor network, savings on frames, lens enhancements, progressives and more. 2. Plan for prescriptions While several health plans offer coverage for prescription drugs, discounts can vary, especially when it comes to different types of medication. AARP ® Prescription Discounts Provided by Optum RX ® can help with savings. This program offers a free prescription discount card that can be used at over 66,000 pharmacies nationwide for savings on FDA-approved medications. Additional benefits for AARP members include home delivery, deeper discounts on medications, coverage for dependents and more. 3. Confirm your primary care With a new health insurance plan, you might find that your primary care physician is no longer in-network or that they no longer accept your insurance. Perhaps you have relocated and are in the market for a new doctor. Whatever the case, there's no time like the present to search for a new primary care physician who meets your needs. If you're on Medicare, Oak Street Health can be a great resource. The only primary care provider to carry the AARP name, Oak Street Health provides primary care for adults on Medicare and focuses on prevention with personalized care to help keep you healthy — physically, mentally and socially. Benefits include same-day/next-day appointments where available, convenient locations, a dedicated care team and a 24/7 patient support line. AARP membership is not required to visit an Oak Street Health location. 4. Protect your smile Optimal dental care includes daily brushing and flossing and a visit to the dentist every six months. During your visit, the dentist can monitor for and treat any issues, such as cavities or gum disease. However, not all plans include dental insurance, which means you might end up paying out of pocket for your cleaning and other procedures. To avoid that, take a look at your coverage. If needed, explore information on dental insurance options that offer individual or family coverage for the most common dental procedures. Dental insurance generally pays for regular check-ups, so many people who purchase protection will benefit from it immediately. 5. Clarify your hearing coverage Hearing loss is a common age-related ailment. According to the National Institute on Aging , one-third of older adults have hearing loss, and the chance of developing hearing loss increases with age. Hearing aids can be an enormous help, improving socialization, boosting confidence and even helping to increase balance. However, many insurance plans do not include coverage for hearing aids. AARP ® Hearing SolutionsTM provided by UnitedHealthcare ® Hearing provides savings on hearing aids and hearing care . Members can save an average of $2,000 per pair on prescription hearing aids and 15% on accessories — no insurance needed. Plus receive a hearing exam and consultation at no cost and personalized support through a large nationwide network of hearing providers. 6. Consider physical therapy Often, the only times that people consider whether their health insurance covers physical therapy is if they already participate in it or after the doctor has prescribed it. As we age, though, physical therapy can be a useful tool in improving balance or recovering from an injury or procedure to help you remain active. Fortunately, the question of coverage or finding an in-network location doesn't have to derail you. AARP ® Physical Therapy At HomeTM by Luna accepts most insurances and Medicare and is available to members and non-members alike. Plus, Luna's experts come to you, so you can receive quality care from the comfort of your home. If you're creating an end-of-year to-do list, consider adding an assessment of your healthcare coverage. After all, the best time to realize you have a gap in coverage is before you need it.

NonePublished 8:22 am Saturday, December 21, 2024 By Terri Cowart Frazier The annual Chili for Children Cook-Off will be put on simmer in 2025, but things will heat back up in 2026. Event organizer Sabrina Lynn, of The Radio People, said there were several reasons for skipping 2025, one of which is a planned reboot of the event that will include the use of more technology. “We want to bring the event into the future with things like links to register your teams and links where volunteers can sign up to help,” she said. Lynn is also hoping to get more of the community involved, which she hopes will bring in additional volunteers. “I need some help. I need some community involvement so I am going to be looking for committee leaders so I can divvy up some of the responsibilities,” she said. Lynn just underwent knee replacement surgery, which is another reason the Chili for Children Cook-Off was postponed a year. She said she is healing but would not be fully recovered by the time the cook-off was scheduled in early 2025. “I was not sure my knee was going to let me go 25,000 steps,” she said, which is what she puts in on the day of the event. But knee surgery will not keep Lynn from beginning work on the 2026 Chili for Children Cook-Off, which is already scheduled for Feb. 1. “The planning is going to start very soon in 2025,” she said. Terri Frazier was born in Cleveland. Shortly afterward, the family moved to Vicksburg. She is a part-time reporter at The Vicksburg Post and is the editor of the Vicksburg Living Magazine, which has been awarded First Place by the Mississippi Press Association. She has also been the recipient of a First Place award in the MPA’s Better Newspaper Contest’s editorial division for the “Best Feature Story.” Terri graduated from Warren Central High School and Mississippi State University where she received a bachelor’s degree in communications with an emphasis in public relations. Prior to coming to work at The Post a little more than 10 years ago, she did some freelancing at the Jackson Free Press. But for most of her life, she enjoyed being a full-time stay at home mom. Terri is a member of the Crawford Street United Methodist Church. She is a lifetime member of the Vicksburg Junior Auxiliary and is a past member of the Sampler Antique Club and Town and Country Garden Club. She is married to Dr. Walter Frazier. “From staying informed with local governmental issues to hearing the stories of its people, a hometown newspaper is vital to a community. I have felt privileged to be part of a dedicated team at The Post throughout my tenure and hope that with theirs and with local support, I will be able to continue to grow and hone in on my skills as I help share the stories in Vicksburg. When asked what I like most about my job, my answer is always ‘the people.’Mind the Gap: Six Tips to Assess Your Healthcare Coverage Before the New Year

News reports about Donald Trump’s transition team working towards pulling the US out of the World Health Organisation has again put the spotlight on the WHO. In 2020 Trump initiated the process to leave the WHO alleging the organization’s deference to China, but the process was not finished as his successor Joe Biden restarted relations with the agency. Over the decades, the WHO’s remit has expanded from its original focus on women’s and children’s health, nutrition, sanitation, and fighting malaria and tuberculosis. Today, the WHO monitors and coordinates activities concerning many health-related issues, including genetically modified foods, climate change, tobacco and drug use, and road safety. The UN agency has garnered criticism for its response to international public health crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic. International committees found the inefficiency of WHO in declaring Covid as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) for months, which led to a hefty toll worldwide in terms of mortality and morbidity. The WHO also failed to ensure travel bans and enforcement of International Health Regulations to contain COVID-19 worldwide. Global tobacco use is another healthcare crisis that has not seen a solution in over two decades. The prescribed approach by the WHO has not been successful in achieving the cessation rates that were envisioned while drafting the WHO’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC). Experts argue that harm reduction is the missing piece in WHO’s approach to tobacco control. In an article published by the Lancet, former WHO Directors Robert Beaglehole and Ruth Bonita said, “Harm reduction is a successful public health strategy for global tobacco control efforts. It should be a central strategy in FCTC. WHO's lack of endorsement of tobacco harm reduction strategies limits healthier choices for the 1.3 billion people globally who smoke and who are at an increased risk of early death. There is no scientific justification for WHO’s position that less harmful alternatives should be treated the same way as tobacco products, ignoring a risk-proportionate approach”. While the WHO FCTC has been influential in encouraging a global response to tobacco control, it does not include any safer alternatives to tobacco, overlooking reduced risk solutions. It leaves it up to countries to decide how to regulate e-cigarettes and novel nicotine alternatives. It has also been challenging to show a strong and consistent association between implementation of FCTC measures and smoking prevalence. On the contrary, the US FDA approves certain categories of safer alternatives based on scientific data. In countries like New Zealand, the prevalence of adult daily smoking plummeted from 13.3 per cent in 2017-18 to 6.8% in 2022-23 after e-cigarettes became widely available, a 49% decline in 5 years. The substantial decline in smoking consumption in Japan is associated with the rapid uptake of products that heat, rather than burn tobacco. WHO’s lack of endorsement for tobacco harm reduction is limiting healthier choices for the 1.3 billion people who smoke annually and are at an increased risk of early death. The objectives of WHO must be redefined to match the aspirations of global citizens, which is essential to make life better across countries. Further, the organisation must tackle the issues of politics and economics to implement various health programs as per the scientific requirement for health and well-being.Manchester United, one of the most iconic football clubs in the world, finds itself in a challenging position as it struggles to secure the top talent needed to compete at the highest level.
