As a current board member overseeing the quality of CHVP course content, I am fully engaged in taking the course myself. Today, I had an AHA moment regarding Texas municipalities, school districts, tribal entities, religious entities, and MEWAS being ERISA exempt and subject to state law regulation. Specifically, Texas House Bill 2002 could empower these entities to demand that certain exam costs be applied to deductibles and that BUCAs accept accumulators. Do you have a different perspective on this conclusion? It presents an interesting strategy for these entities in advance of adopting a much better strategy where they provide exams at a $0 out-of-pocket cost, ensuring member care, saving money, and eliminating accumulators. #Texas #Healthcare #Policy #Strategy #ERISAExempt The Cicero Institute Texas Public Policy Foundation David Balat Doug Aldeen Allison De Paoli Kelly Fristoe Rachel Means Taylor Rogers Rich Hejny Michael A.

My 98 year old grandmother has severe macular degeneration and, due to her appointments being cancelled during lockdown (necessary and unavoidable) speeding up her sight loss, now has about 2% vision. She raised five children by herself, one of whom lost their sight in one eye due to hereditary retinoblastoma. She has always been fiercely independent so losing her sight has been confining, debilitating and terrifying for her. Sight impairment and loss is a widespread issue with someone in the UK being told they are losing their sight every 6 minutes. This doesn’t just impact the individual but their family and friends too. My own grandmother does as much as she is able to but no longer lives alone since she is unable to live a normal life without assistance. Over 2 million people live with sight loss in the UK and around 340,000 of these are registered blind or partially sighted. Current figures suggest that 1 in 25 people living in the UK will be sight impaired by 2030. Making sure simple things like wheelie bins are not left in the middle of pavements can make a big difference to people who aren’t able to see them and wouldn’t expect to walk into an obstacle in the middle of a path. It allows them to feel a little safer when out and about, helps them feel more independent, and empowers them to feel like they are able to go out, all of which can reduce loneliness and social isolation. Well done RNIB for addressing such a ridiculous, ignorant post. #sightloss #accessibility #RNIB #disability #inclusion #edi

As we draw close to finalising the next #communitypharmacy agreement (8CPA), it's fair to say that the last 12 months have been incredibly challenging in #communitypharmacy. We have seen some big changes to #scopeofpractice now providing consumers with more choices in accessible health care services. The Pharmacy Guild of Australia is there to support and advocate for you as a #pharmacist and a #communitypharmacy owner. If you are a pharmacy owner and not a member of the The Pharmacy Guild of Australia and want to know how we support you and your pharmacy business, please reach out for a chat. #membershipmatters #strenghtinnumbers #dontgoitalone

What is happening in Queensland? While NSW and Vic have been reasonably static, Queensland is an outlier with a large increase in Emergency Department presentations of about 28% during the 5 years to 2021. However there is a recent 10% reduction in ED presentations from 2022 to 2023. Changes in ED presentations are often attributed to how primary care is performing. Does this apply to the QLD numbers? https://lnkd.in/gHbzKMf3 Michael Clements; Dr Nicole Higgins MBBS FRACGP GAICD; Maria Boulton; Marita Cowie AM; Francois Pretorius; Andrew Cohen; Ged Foley; John Hall; Tracey Johnson; Bruce Willett; Edwin Kruys; Shannon Fentiman
