Have the Courage to be Knowledgeable

The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) provides insurance for the uninsured, who unfortunately have become overcome with confusion, fear and misunderstanding that they are avoiding the process altogether. Believe me, I get it. We are trying to navigate the options in our office and even with the help of a professional insurance broker, we still are unsure of our options or how to proceed.

Also, many are not aware of some of the wonderful new benefits added to Medicare recipients including yearly Wellness visits ( an opportunity to talk about end of life issues), and coverage for numerous procedures that were not covered before.

If we can help, please don't hesitate to call and we will share all our research. But use all your resources. Call your insurance person, go on the website (healthcare.gov), contact the county for resources they provide; http://www.broward.org/Benefits/Pages/HealthCare%20Reform.aspx; and http://www.browardhealth.org/upload/docs/Corporate/STAR/Sept%20Oct%20STAR%20WEB.pdf;

Let me know what you learn!
