Have you received your new Medicare card?🤔

Over the last month, over 1 million Medicare numbers were re-issued in an effort to alleviate fraud and other security concerns.

Actions Beneficiaries (YOU☺️) Should Take:

1. Verify Your Information: Check your name, date of birth, and other personal details on the new card for accuracy.

2. Update Providers (THIS IS US!😁) and Insurers: Provide your new MBI to your primary care physician, specialists, hospitals, pharmacies, insurance companies, and agents AS SOON AS POSSIBLE (even if you don't have an appointment scheduled) to ensure smooth processing of claims.

We appreciate your attention and look forward to seeing you!

April is Autism Acceptance Month🧩🩵

Approximately 1 in 31 children in the US is diagnosed with autism. With growing awareness, there has also been a significant increase in the diagnoses rate of adults, with a 450% increase reported in the last 15 years.

Autism is a diverse neurodevelopmental condition (not a mental illness) affecting social communication, behavior, and sensory processing. Individuals with autism are complete, whole human beings that possess unique strengths, challenges and often surprisingly remarkable traits and talents!🤩

Autism affects individuals across all ages, genders and backgrounds.

It’s kind of amazing to imagine these hope-filled, smiling faces now roaming the halls of our hospital and clickety-clacking on keyboards in the office just down the way. From bright eyed kiddos, to the faces behind the care you see every day.
Little did they know where life would lead them.🧡💙

Did you know Colorectal Cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in men in their 40's? Major screening guidelines now recommend CRC screening at age 45 instead of 50 for those considered at average risk.

Well, what is average risk? According to the US Preventive Services Task Force, average risk means:

✅No prior CRC diagnosis
✅No prior inflammatory bowel disease diagnosis
✅No prior diagnosis of adenomatous polyps
✅No personal or family history of genetic disorders that put someone at high risk of cancer - for example Lynch Syndrome or familial adenomatous polyposis

If you checked all the green boxes, congratulations! You are considered to have average risk and should be screened around age 45.

However, if you have prior diagnoses, it is highly recommended you are screened even earlier than age 45.
