Plato says he’s pretty excited about the 12 inches of snow we received. He loves the snow!
For Medicare questions, quotes, or quandaries, emailĀ Gray@TheBig65.comĀ orĀ book a time on my calendarĀ and weāll get it sorted.
It’s been a delight catching up with so many of you these past few weeks but it sure has been a challenge staying on schedule. I’ve been doing ice baths every morning at 4:30 AM to get ready for the day. It’s supposed to be great forĀ metabolic health. I’ll keep you posted on my numbers!
Hard to believe, a week ago, it was beautiful and sunny. Q was raking leaves.
I was prepping candy boards just as the snow warnings came.
It seems like every year, the process gets a little easier. But…
You have to pay attention to the details (like adding a bit of vinegar to prevent mold).
If you don’t pay attention to details, the hives will perish and you don’t get honey.
If you don’t pay attention to the Medicare details, bad things can happen.
Did you know that Medicare won’t always pay for ambulances?
Client Judy in Denver shared the story of a neighbor who had to pay the full cost of her ambulance. Turns out, if it’s not a life threatening emergency, you may get stuck with the bill.
1. It’s Not a Medical Emergency:Ā Medicare only covers ambulance rides when itās necessary for your health. If you could safely travel by another method, they wonāt pay.
2. No Doctorās Order for Non-Emergency Rides:Ā For planned, non-emergency ambulance rides, you need a doctorās written order stating itās necessary. Without it, Medicare may not cover the trip.
3. Going Farther Than Needed:Ā Medicare pays for rides to the nearest suitable medical facility. If you go farther without a medical reason, youāll pay extra.
4. No Advance Notice:Ā In some non-emergency cases, if the ambulance company thinks Medicare wonāt cover the ride, they must give you an Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN) first. If they donāt and Medicare denies payment, you might not have to pay for it.
Here’s the book with all the details. Buyer beware!
Our son Nicholas just finished his first tour of duty in the Air Force stationed in Britain. We can’t wait to see him.
Thanks to Becky and Joe for the Google review. They live around the corner so I was able to drop off their honey the day before the storm.
We still have plenty so feel free to leave us a review onĀ GoogleĀ orĀ Facebook. If you were promised honey and it hasn’t arrived, please let us know.
Happy 66th to this young lady (her husband said they had to use the previous year’s candlesš). I accidentally deleted the sender’s nameš , so please send me your name and you’ll get honey as well!
A big shout out to Marcia and her hubby for sending pictures of their great travel adventure…8000 miles across 15 states in their 42 foot motor home over two months, Florida to Montana. Now that’s living large, right Bruceš.
Keep squeezing the juice out of life and look for ways to help others!
If family or friends need help…Ā referrals are the lifeblood of my business.
