Employers must still offer COBRA coverage after the implementation of the Affordable Care Act on January 1, 2014. COBRA coverage may be elected if someone wants to continue their employer plan to avoid gaps in coverage or to keep benefits like dental, EAP, medical FSA, or vision that may not be offered on the Health Insurance Marketplaces. While employer plans offer benefits like familiar doctors and hospitals, the Health Insurance Marketplaces offer premium tax credits not available through employer plans. Employers need to modify COBRA election notices to include ACA language but certificates of creditable coverage are no longer required after 2014. Coordination and communication with employees is important regarding ongoing COBRA requirements and new Health Insurance Market

The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) is considering proposals to widen access to health insurance, including long-term plans, health savings accounts, and single-premium policies. This would allow individuals and employers to lock into premiums for longer periods. It is proposed that long-term health policies could have a tenure of 3-5 years, and health savings accounts would create a fund over 5-15 years to finance healthcare costs post-retirement. The modified regulations from IRDAI are expected to be released by the end of the month to streamline processes and increase health insurance penetration.

The document discusses two Medicare enrollment rules that can impact health insurance coverage if missed. It provides examples of Anne Morton and Mary Roberts who missed enrollment windows. Anne retired at 68 and discovered her 8-month window to enroll in Part B had passed while she was on COBRA, leaving her without coverage until the next enrollment period. Mary, aged 72, chose to stay on COBRA past 65 without enrolling in Medicare Parts A and B, resulting in her being responsible for medical costs instead of COBRA paying as secondary. The document stresses talking to a Medicare expert to understand enrollment rules when retiring to avoid lapses in coverage.
IRS Delays Key Provision Of The Affordable Care Act
The document discusses how the IRS has announced a one-year delay of the employer mandate portion of the Affordable Care Act until 2015. This includes delaying the requirements for employers to offer sufficient and affordable health coverage to full-time employees as well as any associated reporting requirements. However, many other ACA provisions remain on schedule for 2014 such as the establishment of public health insurance exchanges and premium subsidies. Employers are advised to continue preparing for full ACA compliance and that this delay provides more time to address requirements like tracking variable hour employees and responding to future guidance.

Overview AOB in medical billing Benefits.pptx
Medical billing is a critical component of the healthcare system, yet it's often shrouded in mystery for many patients and even some healthcare professionals. From understanding the process to knowing your rights, here are answers to 14 common questions about medical billing.
Affordable Care Act 101
The document discusses the Affordable Care Act and healthcare marketplace options. It provides information about subsidies, plan types (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum), open enrollment periods, and common questions about the ACA and enrollment. Key points covered include that the ACA aims to expand coverage to 32 million Americans, offers subsidies to offset premium costs, prohibits denying coverage or limiting benefits due to pre-existing conditions, and sets minimum coverage standards. The open enrollment period for 2015 plans runs from November 15, 2014 to February 15, 2015.

The document discusses the Affordable Care Act (ACA) which was signed into law in 2010. It aims to reform the US healthcare system and health insurance industry. Key points of the ACA include expanding Medicaid, introducing subsidies for insurance, and requiring all Americans to have health insurance or pay a fee. It also sets minimum coverage standards that all health insurance plans must meet. The ACA established online health insurance exchanges for Americans to shop for and purchase plans. It discusses the goals and challenges of implementing the exchanges.News Flash July 10 2013 IRS Clarifies Pay-or-Play Delay
The IRS issued a notice confirming its delay of the employer pay-or-play excise tax until 2014 and provided additional clarification. With the delay, employers have time to focus on other Affordable Care Act compliance issues that were previously secondary to pay-or-play, such as updated HIPAA privacy policies and notices of exchange availability. Employers can also expect inquiries from employees and health insurance exchanges regarding their coverage to determine exchange subsidy eligibility. Willis will continue monitoring all provisions affecting employers and provide updates.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Recently uploaded (20)
