Medicare Supplement Excess Charges

A quick explanation of Medicare Part B "Excess Charges."

For Example; say the Medicare allowable charge for a certain visit or procedure is $100. Medicare Part B pays $80; the Medicare Supplement pays the remaining $20. If the doctor does not accept assignment, and the client has Plan D, the client pays the 15%.

Medicare states that if the doctor does not accept assignment the doctor can add 15% to the amount Medicare approves. However, Medicare reduces the amount they have approved by 5% because the doctor does not accept assignment.

Now the doctor can only add the 15% to the reduced amount.

If Medicare approves a total of $100 and the doctor does not accept assignment then Medicare reduces it by 5% so now the approved amount is $95. $95 x 115% = $109.25

The above shows that although the doctor can add an additional 15%, after Medicare reduces the amount by 5% the doctor is really only getting an additional $9.25 and not $15.

That really is not enough additional money for the doctor to risk not getting paid or have to spend money billing.

When the doctor sends a claim to Medicare, Medicare will assign a value to that claim. If the doctor agrees to "Accept Assignment" then the doctor also agrees to accept that assigned value as 100% payment for his/her services, of which Medicare pays 80% and the Medicare Supplement policy pays the remaining 20%.

If the doctor says no to assignment the claim still goes to Medicare and Medicare will "assign a value". It makes no difference whether or not the doctor Accepts Assignment.

If the doctor does not Accept Assignment then Medicare will reduce the amount of value by 5%. The doctor can then add the 15% to the reduced amount. Either the insurance company or the individual will have to pay that additional money.

However, neither Medicare nor the Medicare Supplement will pay the doctor. Why, because he says no to assignment of the claim. The money goes to the client.

So now the doctor has to hope he gets $115 from the client after he does all the billing instead of knowing he will receive $100.

Assume the net annual premium difference between Plan F and Plan D is $275, after deducting the $135 Part B deductible that is not paid by Plan D. At 15%, that would mean that the client would have to incur bills of almost $2,000 from doctors that do not accept assignment.

Since only 1% of the doctors do not accept assignment and knowing how much Medicare limits charges, it becomes difficult for Plan F to be a money saver for any client.

How to Balance Your Tires

Keeping your auto well maintained can sometimes be very difficult especially if you are a first time car owner, and you do not understand what it takes to keep your auto running efficiently. For instance, knowing the importance of tire balancing. Balanced tires are very important for safe driving. When tires are not properly balanced they cause stress on the bearings, shocks and other parts of the wheel assembly.

However, that does not mean that it cannot be done. You may require the services of an expert since improper alignment may cause some considerable damages, but if you understand cars and have the basic equipment, you can do tire balance in just a few minutes. Below are some of the steps you need to keep in mind during the process.

Get rid of any previous wheels weights that are present on the wheel, since they pose a great challenge when it comes to wheel balancing. Then place the wheel and the tire on the balancer by way of inserting the shaft through the wheel hub and leaving it in place, bearing in mind that the wheel has to be centered on the balancer. The next step is to gently spin the wheel in the balancer. During this procedure you will notice that the heaviest part of the wheel is being drawn to the bottom and the lighter part on the top. Give it time to settle in position, and then place a mark on the lightest part of the tire. You could repeat the process just to ensure that you placed the right mark in the right place. To complete this process attach the wheel weights, adhesive side first to the area of the wheel that was marked just below the spot. This will in turn counter the imbalance of the tire. Slightly move the wheels to a 3 o'clock position. Let go of the wheel but if it rolls clockwise to place the weighted position on the bottom, then that means you have added too much weight. In the event that it rolls to the top, then that is enough weight added. You may continue adding and subtracting weights until you attain the required balance, which should be at 3 o'clock position.

Finally, to ensure that the wheel stays in position, secure it with duct tape or any other similar adhesives. You will then need to remount the wheel to the car, ensuring that the lug nuts are secure. Dick Cepek tires are a good example of some of the best tires in the market, and the beauty is that they are available in a wide variety of sizes, which is perfect for any tire assembly.

What to Do With Used Fluorescent Tubes and CFL Lamps

The news is full of reports about CO2 emissions and how we can all reduce our footprint to reduce the escalating levels of pollution in our increasingly industrial society. Lamps - commercial and domestic lamps - have not escaped the environmental scrutiny, and spent fluorescent tubes and lamps are now classed as hazardous waste.

"Recycling lamps can make a huge difference to the environment as virtually all of their components can be recycled."

From 1st July 2007, waste tubes and low energy CFLs have been subject to the requirements of the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations, and new CFL lamps are marked with the now familiar crossed out wheelie bin sign, indicating they should be disposed of carefully and recycled.

Manufacturers and suppliers of such lamps must now provide the public with information on how to dispose of waste bulbs, and some retailers allow customers to return them to their premises. More commonly, retailers will take used bulbs, or direct the public to take them to local authority civic sites, whose fundings retailers contribute to. Disposed lamps will then be treated and recycled, recovering the majority of the mercury.

Businesses responsible for recycling lamps must ensure that broken and used bulbs are stored safety in a suitable type and size of container before being taken for recycling, in order to prevent harm from broken glass or mercury leakage.

Householders should dispose of lamp lighting at their local waste recycling centre, and take care when dealing with broken CFLs, due to the risk of inhaling mercury and/or being cut on the glass. Where a breakage has occurred, the room should be ventilated, and the debris should be swept up using gloves (carefully wiping the area clean afterwards) but a vacuum cleaner should not be used, as this would create airborne dust, which could then be inhaled. All of the lamp parts should be placed in a plastic bag, sealed and taken to a waste recycling centre. They should not be disposed of in the household bin.

Recycling lamps can make a huge difference to the environment as virtually all of their components can be recycled - the metal ends, the glass tubing, the mercury... they can all be used for other products or recycled into new bulbs.

Chair Massage - Why (and Where) You Should Get One

Chair massage has become popular in the last few years for a number of reasons. If you're not familiar with this "alternative" form of massage, or if you've just been putting off getting one, here are a few reasons why you should try it:

- It's fast. A chair massage can be as short as five minutes or as long as a half hour. This is a perfect arrangement for someone who doesn't have much time.

- It's convenient. Chair massage is often available at places people go to in the course of their day, for example, coffee shops and markets (particularly natural food markets). Or, it may be offered at a massage business or day spa located in the same shopping center where you run errands. And it's always possible to set up chair massage sessions in the workplace; just call a local therapist or massage center.

- It's easy on the budget. Chair massages are all timed and the charge is based on the length of the massage. So if you don't want to spend a lot of money, it's a good way to try massage.

- It's specific. A lot of people don't want, or feel they don't need, what is traditionally called a "full body massage" (a table massage). Chair massage was designed to make it easy to treat the back, neck and shoulders - areas that carry a lot of stress in most people. (But it's also possible to massage the arms, hands and head this way. The only parts of the body that are hard to access in a massage chair are the extreme lower back, the legs and the feet.)

- It's less threatening. For some people, the idea of removing all their clothes and then having someone they don't know, or don't know well, give them a massage is enough to keep them away from the massage table permanently. During a chair massage the client keeps their clothes on. Nudity is not only not required, it's not allowed!

- It can be just as effective as a longer table massage. Sometimes it's the frequency - not the length - of a treatment that matters. People who can't afford, or don't have the time for, regular table massages may not get them very often, or on a regular basis. But if they can manage a shorter (and therefore lower-priced) chair massage more often than they would get a table massage, they may find that the benefits - the relaxation and stress relief - last longer. Also, it's possible that when they do get stressed, their reaction is not as severe or as long-lasting. Because their muscles have been getting more frequent reminders of how to handle stress, they are better equipped to deal with it when it does arrive.

And here's one last thought:

Chair massage is a great way to show people you appreciate them. It has been used for employee appreciation programs, Christmas and other holiday parties and home parties where the hostess or host offers a related product or service (like skin care products). If you've been to one of these events and had a chair massage, you know how much more valued you feel by the person or organization hosting the event. If you happen to be an employer or small business owner, you might also want to consider offering chair massage at your next event. People will really appreciate it!

The Choices In Discount Flooring Will Save You Money

Renovating a home requires imagination, dedication, and a considerable budget. No matter how many corners you cut when it comes to revitalizing a home, spending money is a given. It's no wonder that homeowners look for as many opportunities as they can to reduce their costs while still achieving the look that they desire. When it comes to creating the maximum visual impact possible, nothing else comes close to flooring; well chosen flooring can transform a room in particular and a home overall. Luckily, there is a wide choice of discount flooring available on the market today that will meet all your needs without breaking your budget.

First and foremost, it must be mentioned that a large percentage of the price we pay for flooring can be attributed to the cost of professional installation. Often, the installation of the floor - depending on the size of the room and complexity of the material we choose - can cost almost as much as the floor itself. This price will generally also include the cost for emptying the room in question - including the removal of heavy appliances - and the removal and disposal of the old floor that is being replaced. For confident do-it-yourselfers, discount flooring can simply mean the tackling of your own floor installation. Handling this project on your own - or with the help of some friends - can save a substantial amount of money. Even if you are hesitant about actually installing the floor, see if the retailer you are working with will offer you a price break for removing and disposing of the old floor yourself. Any preliminary work that you can do to make professional installation easier should save you money.

Of course, discount flooring can also mean savings when it comes to the actual flooring itself. As with anything else that we purchase, prices vary depending on where we shop. Don't just settle for the price that the larger retail stores quote you; shop around and conduct your own comparison shopping. Often you will find retailers who are willing to work within your budget in exchange for your business.

If you are planning on installing your floor yourself, don't rule out the Internet for finding discount flooring. You will often find many online dealers that offer a full range of flooring - in all colors, styles, and materials - at deeply discounted prices. What you lose in professional installation you will make up for in low overhead; online retailers can often offer much lower prices than traditional stores.

Online Slot Systems - Can They Make Consistent Profits?

You will find numerous vendors advertising online slot systems that they claim will guarantee that you can win regularly and win big payouts.

The question we will answer here is can any online slot system work?

The answer is a resounding no.

Common sense should tell you that if online slot systems did work the vendors would not bother selling them, they would simply use them for themselves and make a fortune.

They wouldn't need your few hundred dollars!

Let's look at the proof, that will show you that an online slot system can NEVER work.

There is no way to make guaranteed profits from games of chance, and online slot machines are a game of chance.

In mathematics, you know what will happen next as you have past data to look at and predict from.

In games of chance however you never know what is going to happen next.

Mathematical systems must look at past data to predict the future, however if the past data is random, it cannot be used to predict the future as the data is irrelevant.

There is a formula but you can never work it out!

The winning combinations produced by online slot machines are generated by a Random Number Generator (RNG) which is in built in every online slot machine.

The RNG is a series of codes written into the software of the game chip, generating numbers at a rate of a 100 a second.

These numbers corresponds to a result on the reels.

The effect of this for the player is that he has to spin the reels at EXACTLY the 1 / 100 of a second a winning combination is generated.

The formula and speed of the RNG

The RNG is not strictly random, it is actually programmed to a formula, but you will never be able to work it out.

If you had access to the formula ( which of course you never will)of the RNG and the value of the last random number generated, you would be able to calculate the next random number and look for the winning play.

The problem is, even if you were able to do this it still wouldn't help you.

This is due to the speed of the calculations being made.

Keep in mind what we said earlier, there are 100 calculations every second and the human brain simply cant work that quickly!

You can't predict winning plays in online slots

Many players rely on certain patterns in online slot systems.

For instance, if a slot machine has not paid out for a while its due a payout.

Wrong, the RNG is programmed over the longer term and can go for long periods not paying out at all, or even having several quick payouts in quick succession.

Other players look at the reels, but the reels are purely for entertainment and do not correspond at all to how the RNG calculates winning payouts.

They are simply there for the excitement and entertainment factor.

The fact the reels show you were close does not mean you are getting closer or that one combination will follow another.

As you can see from the above the RNG is a marvel of technology and it is impossible to beat it, even if you were given the formula of how it calculates winning payouts!

There are ways to increase your chances of winning at online slots, but buying online slot machine systems is not one of them.

In Answer To: Words Of Encouragement

Throughout my life, I have always known that it is not easy to fight injustices. I grew up in Jersey City and started to work during summers at the age of fourteen. I quit school just prior to sixteen and went to work full time because after 22 years my father had decided to leave my mother and someone had to do it. My mom was trying hard to go back to work after being a housewife for all those years but her health was not so great and she just couldn't do it long.

I made God only knows so many mistakes. When Mom and Billy died in 1974 I lost the only advisors I had my entire life...I was on my own. There have been many instances where if...

When my area developer swindled me out of goodness knows how much I went as far as filing a lawsuit against the company...I did it myself...it wasn't easy. I just came up against a dead end when their attorneys continued to throw everything they could in my path. I didn't have the money to go to New York and fight it the rest of the way...now it seems like a memory and nothing more but it did teach me that this world is a world where if you have enough money to fight for your cause you have a chance to win. If you don't have any money to fight oh well.

It is fine for someone like Robert Greenwald to run a production company financed by liberal elites and liberal organizations to do as he wishes to anyone and he has no responsibility to be fair when it comes to using people.

Along with the corporate officers at Walmart who are paid millions and allowed to ignore the real problems that over time millions of workers have had.

Continuously the extreme left and right wing elite do as they wish and are heard because they have money and power. It makes no difference if they are right, wrong or just in the entire thing for a laugh.

They use people on a daily basis under the cover of being righteous. I am a bit impatient. Probably because I fear that as I did with the lawsuit, once again for a lack of money and a lack of knowledge I will allow what I know is the right thing go unsaid because I have not the ability to put it out there.

Seriously, It gets old to be taken for granted. Used, misled and ripped off and have no recourse simply because there is not enough money to fight it and make the people with endless resources realize what is right is right. It makes no difference who's side you are on.

I could promote my book or writing as anti everything...if I were really extreme I would have a much better chance at actually being noticed. If I had the ability or if I had the energy left I could wait a bit and file a lawsuit in the state of California against Robert Greenwald when he uses something in the film that I told them about and was already in the book I wrote.

I don't know if I have the energy to do it again. Do it again and lose out because I come to a dead end.

What will it mean?

It means that a man with money and able to ask for donations to push his film making will in some way promote himself and his agenda using my information to do it. Without my permission he will be able to use the time and energy I have spent over the years and I will never even be acknowledged as a person who originally knew about all of it and made the attempt to make things right.

It would be nice if I were in a circle of people, where because I knew someone I could have someone else censored.

It would be nice if someone, anyone would just listen and realize that I am not only doing all of it because of the notoriety but because what is right is right.

Sure, I would like to make money doing all of it, I would be nothing more than a liar if I were to say that I was only doing all of it for the pleasure of waking a few people up. The problem is, I am not wealthy and I do not have an organization that is funded by anyone.

Seriously, Robert Greenwald has picked on Walmart because he is trying to be more like Michael Moore. I doubt that his reason is to be the savior of millions.

I picked on Walmart because somehow I hoped I could fix the culture that a very good man founded the company on.

I would have, while I worked for them been happy to share the things I knew.

Seriously, now that they have decided to make me into what they would call a traitor, I probably shouldn't care about the company or those left behind.

If they had listened, there would never have been a book. If Walmart had listened, if Lee Scott and Rob Walton were not so high and mighty there would have been a better place for the workers and I would not be where I am.

The main problem was I could not continue to work for liars and ignore the unethical situations that were occurring on a daily basis. I could not watch as associates were mistreated only because it was easier to do it the wrong way instead of really taking an interest in what was happening around me. I had to buck the system because it was and is flawed.

I could have continued to have a paycheck come in every two weeks that was only a mode of surviving until something else came along or until I could actually make someone realize what I was saying.

The Walmart Culture was a cult. It was almost a religious institution. It was people working on the art of making a retail company the best it could be and loving every minute of it even if they were not getting much from it in the way of wages and benefits.

It was an icon of something right in the world that went very wrong.

Vacationing in South Carolina's Hilton Head

Families have flocked to Hilton Head, South Carolina as long as there have been people on the eastern seaboard. Early Native Americans of the area wintered among the yellow pines and palmettos of this barrier island, enjoying the mild climate as they feasted on the plentiful seafood. Later, as the new colonies were settled, Spanish, French, and English explorers and entrepreneurs spent time among the high bluffs and beaches of this 12-mile long island. Visionaries later saw the unique beauty of this island and have protected its wildlife and marshes, enabling visitors to enjoy clean beaches, lush forests, and clean air.

Now, the abundance and variety of vacation rentals available in Hilton Head allows visitors to enjoy the sun and cool ocean air in comfort. This natural vacation wonderland, once home to sugar, rice, and indigo plantations, offers a full range of outdoor activities, from tennis and tournament golf to hiking in the nature preserves and walking along the beach. Rentals in Hilton Head allow vacationers to stay in a resort hotel, condominium, villa, or private home in comfort, while enjoying the balmy 65˚ F weather all year long. Visitors can shop, dine in fine restaurants, or enjoy the scenery when they tire of the multitude of outdoor activities.

Vacation rentals, both privately owned and commercial resort properties, are available all year and fit a wide variety of budgets. The original plantations scattered over the island have been turned into resorts offering the latest amenities. There are beach-front properties available as well as rentals in the interior of the island that are close to the nearly 30 golf courses, 300 tennis courts, and hiking and in-line skating trails in the parks. Most facilities are open year-round, and offer bargains during the off-season. With over 10,000 hotel rooms, 6,000 rental houses and fourteen resort plantations to choose from, every vacationer should be able to fine just the "right" rental on Hilton Head Island.
