MEDICAL
BLOOD PRESSURE
HEALTH INSURANCE - “SHINE PROGRAM”
MEDICARE OPEN ENROLLMENT PERIOD IS COMING UP!!!
October 15th - December 7th
Medicare’s Annual Open Enrollment will be here before you know it and it
is very important to review your Medicare options during this period. If you
have a Medicare Prescription Drug or a Medicare Advantage (HMO, PPO)
Plan you will receive a notice from your plan in September. Make sure
you read this notice- it will explain the changes in your plan for 2015.
During the Annual Open Enrollment , you will have a chance to CHANGE
your plan for 2015. SHINE Counselors can help you understand your
plan’s changes, screen you for assistance programs and discuss other
options you may have. If you do not change your plan during this period
you may have to stay with your existing plan for another whole year.
(Note: the open enrollment may not affect those with retiree coverage).
DO NOT WAIT UNTIL IT’S TOO LATE!!!
Call 508-540-0196 for a SHINE appointment now!!!
If you want this service, please make an appointment with SHINE as soon
as possible. *(If you call after November 26th, we cannot guarantee
you an appointment with a Falmouth SHINE counselor.)
WITH MEDICARE PLANS, DOES IT MATTER WHICH PHARMACY YOU USE?
For many Medicare plans, the pharmacy you use could make a big
difference in the cost of your drugs!!!
All Medicare drug plans and Medicare Advantage plans (HMOs, PPOs)
have network pharmacies. Most pharmacies accept most plans.
However, if you go to a pharmacy that isn’t in your network, your drugs will
not be covered.
In 2015, 80% of the Medicare drug plans have preferred pharmacies.
By using a preferred pharmacy, you will save money!!! Many plans have
changed their preferred pharmacies for next year. You should check that
the pharmacy you currently use is still a preferred pharmacy.
Most plans have a mail-order program that allows you to get a 90-day
supply of your covered prescription drugs sent directly to your home. This

Kathy Ganey, RN-VNA of Cape Cod will be at the Senior

calendar from 1:30-3:00 PM to check blood pressures.
Please feel free to stop by and address any medical questions or
concerns.
Now that the cooler weather is upon us, let’s talk about the
everyday things we can do to keep germs at bay.
We all know that getting our flu shot is the best defense against
contracting the flu but we can keep ourselves safe from many other
bacteria by just using some simple precautions.
Clean your hands often. Frequent hand hygiene is the best for keeping
household members healthy. Clean hands before and after meals and
especially before preparing food. Be mindful of the germs present on the
faucet and toilet handles, cabinet handles and doorknobs, phones,
keyboards and light switches.
Any open cuts should be cleaned with soap and water. All open areas
should be covered with the appropriate size band aid or bandage. You
can use an over the counter topical antibiotic such as bacitracin before
covering the wound. Leaving a wound “open to air” is no longer the
protocol in wound healing.
To avoid food borne illnesses, always keep hands and surfaces clean.
Cook foods at the right temperature and chill food promptly. Clean out the
refrigerator and freezer, tossing out expired products and clean surfaces
with warm soapy water and a clean cloth.
COLD OR THE FLU? HOW TO RECOGNIZE THE DIFFERENCE.
Flu symptoms tend to be more systemic, meaning more overall body
aches, extreme fatigue, and higher fever, usually 100.5 and above. If you
become ill with the flu, see your doctor for an antiviral medication, like
Tamiflu or Relenza.Taking these medications within the first 48 hours of
illness will shorten the duration of your symptoms by 1 or 2 days and
decrease your risk of developing serious complications of influenza.
Cold symptoms are mostly in your head. The symptoms include nasal
and sinus congestion, runny nose, cough and fever that is generally less
than 100.5.Over the counter medications like decongestants and
expectorants can help loosen and remove the mucus, alleviating
congestion and cough. Remember the common cold is a virus too but it
isn’t typically treated with antiviral medications. Call your doctor if you
notice mucus changing color because you may be developing a bacterial
infection that warrants antibiotics. Generally, colds have shorter duration
