Unlike more traditional escorts, these will see to it that you arrive home safely after a rough day at the clinic. 

Headline in the Medicare Advantage Minute: 

Insurers collect billions in dubious Medicare Advantage payments. “Dubious” because many members were reported as having grievous conditions. After payments, MA plans reported no follow-up visits. Fraudulent? You make the call!

According to “Your Medicare Benefits 2024”, If you need behavioral health integration services, Medicare will use the Psychiatric Collaborative Care model. Don’t ask me, I am perfectly well adjusted.

Finally, the current state of medical inflation is suggested by many of the rate increases sought by Medicare supplement carriers in their various jurisdictions.

Douglas B. Jones Author: Medicare for the Lazy Man

Doug Jones burst forth from Oklahoma like a prairie tornado, born of an Omaha Beach victor and the shortest-serving Miss Oklahoma in history. He was such an accomplished student that nine years of undergrad studies eventually earned him a BA degree from the University of Arizona.
Having been branded at birth with the John Hancock Signature, he became the third generation of a life insurance dynasty founded in 1920. Eventually, a genuine dedication to health insurance conferred black sheep status, causing him to strike out on his own.
Decades later, friends began to pester him about Medicare, angling for free advice. After a period of deep contemplation and reflection, Doug arrived at conclusions and formed some opinions that place him squarely at odds with many other Medicare experts.
Thus was born Medicare for the Lazy Man!
