It has often been said that knowledge is power. We believe this to be true. So, in addition to providing you with reviews of products and information on current issues and healthcare we feel that you can also benefit from knowing a little bit about Health Care as well.
When we talk about knowing something about Health Care, we don’t mean issues, we mean knowing something about the nuts and bolts of our Healthcare System. This information, as all information, is designed for the layperson. We want you to take advantage of basic healthcare information designed for the layperson to get quality care at an affordable price.
Do you know what a CPT or ICD9 code is? If you don’t, you should. This forms the basis on which all problems in symptoms that all people have are based and we will tell you exactly what they are, how they work, and how to use them for your advantage.
Other topics that we will discuss and the future include:
What are older specials for and what than they do
What are the most important lab tests and what do they mean
What kinds of problems can you expect with age and lifestyle
What are health contracts all about
Health bills and billing
Medicare
HIPPA and online Health Care
Electronic Health records and the virtual office visit
As with all our discussions, these will be designed for the layperson and should be easy to follow and understand.
