Did you know that every consumer in American spends about $1,355 on top of the $8,000 the government says people spend on doctor fees and hospital care? This figure was reported by the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions, a highly respected research group. During the show, she'll tell you about a link where you can get a free discount card that will work on almost all FDA approved medications, for you and your pets!  No registrations, no forms, no gimmicks... just click, print, and take it to the pharmacy to save money.   Maria shared this on a few AM radio talk shows throughout mid-America and people in Ohio and Indiana now save about $15,000 a week on their medications at their local chain and independent drug stores.

Or just another fantasy? The HHS Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) released a final rule June 18 establishing a certification program for health information technology. The rule describes the temporary certification program for EHRs, and what organizations need to do to be authorized to test and certify EHR technology. Under the 2009 stimulus legislation, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), Congress enacted a major financial incentive for providers to acquire EHR systems. Total payments to doctors can be as much as $44,000 per doctor, if EHR is adapted and “meaningfully used” starting in 2011. 00:08:00AskMariaToddnoEHR,electronic health record,healthcare reform,physician,medical recordsElectronic Health Record: A Pot of gold per physician?

This week we will discuss a September 2008 issue brief by the Center for State and Local Government Excellence, which reveals that many state and local governments are responding to the challenges of GASB 45 by exploring alternative benefit strategies that employ cost-containment, efficiency improvements and prefunding mechanisms As a result, billions of dollars in unfunded OPEB liabilities have been uncovered nationwide causing local city and state government and union employers to scale back significantly on health care benefits for early retirees or reduce other benefits or expenses. Therefore, for millions of early retirees ages 55 64 within the public sector, the implications of GASB 45 pose the threat of them being left without medical coverage until they qualify for Medicare benefits. 00:13:00AskMariaToddnoGlobal Healthcare,Medical Tourism,Healthcare,Travel,US Healthcare ReformThis radio show features a different interview each week on a wide variety of medical tourism and globally integrated health care.
