TMBS E34: Cate Kortzeborn, About the Medicare Plan Finder

November 15, 2019 by angishields

Cate Kortzeborn – Deputy Regional Administrator at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) San Francisco Office. Ms. Kortzeborn will discuss everything your audience needs to know about the Medicare Open Enrollment period. Medicare Open Enrollment began on Tuesday, October 15 and ends at midnight on Saturday, December 7.

If you have a Medicare health or prescription drug plan, you only have until the end of Open Enrollment, December 7, to make changes to your 2020 plan. Medicare’s new Plan Finder makes it easy to review and compare Medicare Advantage and prescription drug plans. Plan Finder provides a personalized experience to help you learn about different options and select the coverage plan that best meets your needs. Even if you are happy with your current Medicare coverage, comparing plans pay. Every year, Medicare health plans change in cost, coverage, and participating providers. You might find something that better fits your needs, or you may be able to save on prescriptions and other costs. If you miss the December 7 deadline, you will likely have to wait a full year before you can make changes to your plan.

TMBS E32: Dr. David Aron, @ Cleveland VA Medical Center

Dr. David Aron, Director, Clinical Program Research & Education, Cleveland VA Medical Center, Department of Veterans Affairs. He is with us today to discuss the exciting advances in VA research on the topic of Diabetes research and all the new scientific discoveries from within the VA, as well as the multitude of research that takes place at VA medical centers across the country.  Research results and advances greatly impact the treatment and prevention of diabetes and disabilities, not only for Veterans but all Americans.

BACKGROUND:

VA researchers are studying innovative strategies and technologies, including group visits, telemedicine, peer counseling, and internet-based education and case management, to enhance access to diabetes care and to improve outcomes for patients. In addition, VA researchers are working to develop better ways to prevent or treat diabetes, especially in special populations such as the elderly, amputees, minorities, spinal cord-injured patients, and those with kidney or heart disease. The disease affects nearly 25% of VA’s patient population and is the leading cause of blindness, end-stage renal disease, and amputation. Nearly 30 million Americans have diabetes, according to the CDC, and 84 million more Americans are at risk to develop the disease.

  VA recognizes November as being American Diabetes month and is thankful to all Veterans for their service to the nation. VA’s research breakthroughs would not be possible without the Veterans who have volunteered to participate in VA studies.

More About Dr. David Aron:

David Aron, MD, MS, is Director of Clinical Program Research and Education at the Cleveland VA Medical Center. He is a clinical endocrinologist, health services researcher, and leader of the VA Quality Scholars Fellowship Program – a training program in quality improvement.  He is a Professor of Medicine and Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the School of Medicine, Case Western Reserve University.

He recently authored a book: “Complex Systems in Medicine: A Hedgehog’s Tale of Complexity in Clinical Practice, Research, Education, and Management.” However, as has often been the case in the past, exactly what he will be working on, even in the not too distant future, cannot be predicted with any certainty.

BRX Pro Tip: Why Join the BRX Network vs Do It Yourself Transcript

Stone Payton: [00:00:02] And we are back with BRX Pro Tips. Stone Payton and Lee Kantor here with you. Lee, we’re out there every day. We’re talking to people who want to become clients or, at least, want to explore the idea, or they will explore the idea of becoming studio partners. The question comes up, and it should, why join the Business RadioX network instead of just doing it myself?

Lee Kantor: [00:00:22] Right. With the cost of equipment being negligible nowadays, and people doing this kind of work on their phone even, that you don’t even need a lot of super fancy equipment, people think that just because they can do the activity of what we do, then they are what we do. But the thing that they’re missing is that in the eye of the interviewee, or the prospect, or whoever you’re trying to get do the work with, they see through if you just started a podcast, and you say, “Hey, I got a podcast,” and they go and check you out, and they see that you’ve never interviewed anybody, or you have your two buddies that are on the list, you don’t have any credibility. You don’t have any authority. You don’t have any real influence. It just—it looks like in a self-serving manner. You’re going out to do this kind of work because everybody and their brothers got a podcast nowadays. So, it’s kind of—you’re just kind of another one of those people that have a podcast. And sadly, most people have a podcast. They have a podcast for a week or two. And then, they stop having a podcast.

Lee Kantor: [00:01:27] When we were talking at the podcasting event that we went to last year, they said that there’s 650,000, at the time, podcasts on iTunes of which 120,000 are actually active and have actually recorded something in the last month. So, by and large, what is that? 40%, a 30% to 40% are surviving just a few episodes. So, most people are going to do this for a while, and they’re going to realize it’s hard, and they’re going to stop doing it. Because of that, that kind of hurts all of us because people are skeptical of who you are. When you go into the market as Business RadioX, and they go to our website, and see tens of thousands of interviews, they see the largest companies in the world that have been interviewed, they see the biggest, most influential business people on the planet have been interviewed with us, they see that you’re a reputable real place. It’s not just some guy and his laptop with a microphone.

Stone Payton: [00:02:25] And there is a learning curve to this that a lot of people may not realize as they’re trying to enter the arena. And there probably are some scenarios where you should just do your own thing. And if that’s the case, that’s fine. And we’ll try to even coach you through that if we get to know you and have a conversation about it. You mentioned credibility. Yeah, to me, it comes down to credibility and speed. Now, maybe you’re smarter than me and Lee. Maybe it will take you 12 years to get where we are, but it might take you six, or it might take you three. And I think we’ve built this thing out where the money just makes sense. So, for me, it comes down to credibility and speed, depending upon how important your brand is and how serious you are about actually generating ROI from your efforts with this.

HITTING THE ROAD THIS WINTER? “TREAD” SAFELY!

Learn the Importance of Upgrading Your All-Season Tires For Winter Tires And How It Will Keep You Safe On The Road

 Kirk Langley is a regional vice president with Discount Tire covering the Minnesota region. Kirk Langley is a regional vice president with Discount Tire covering the Minnesota region.

Having worked his way up over the course of 18 years in the tire industry, Kirk is today one of Discount Tire’s leading experts on tire safety.

INVEST IN QUALITY: Prior to the winter season, consider replacing all four tires with quality winter tires. Winter tires are designed to maintain more traction and gripping capabilities in temperatures 45 degrees or below.

CHECK YOUR TREAD: Tread depth determines a vehicle’s safe stopping distance. You can check it by sticking a penny upside-down in a tread groove – it’s time to replace if Lincoln’s head is visible.

ROTATE YOUR TIRES: To increase tread life, rotate your tires every 6,000 miles or earlier if irregular wear develops.

PROPER AIR PRESSURE: As the outside temperature drops, so does tire inflation pressure. For every 10 degrees drop in ambient temperature, your tires lose 1 PSI and can trigger your TPMS alarm.  Consider keeping a tire pressure gauge in your vehicle so you always have one on hand to check.
