Understanding the type of Medicare coverage you need, OSF HealthCare

Sold by private insurance companies, they help pay for costs after Original Medicare pays its share. The extra cost of a Supplement plan...

Looking after your health in South Africa, Aetna International

The private health care facilities in South Africa are very good — provided you keep to those in the urban areas, and around major game parks. With over 200 well-equipped hospitals and clinics, run by trained, professional, English speaking staff, the quality of care is on a par with that of most other developed countries. Health care insurance is essential. There is a form of public provision in South Africa, but it's not universal, fees are payable according to your situation and earnings, and there is no reciprocal agreement in place for visitors from countries like the U.S. and the UK. You’ll also find that public facilities can be in a bad repair, waiting times are long, and the staff...

The cavity in health insurance coverage: oral health

When we talk about the successes and shortcomings of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) – and health care in the U.S. in general – little attention is given to dental care. While the ACA defines dental coverage as an essential benefit for those under 18, insurers aren’t required to offer dental coverage for adults. Medicare, the nation’s largest insurer, doesn’t cover routine dental work. And coverage for adults through Medicaid varies from state to state. Oral health isn’t just about nice teeth. As the surgeon general noted in a 2000 report, oral health is intimately connected to general health and can be implicated in or exacerbate diabetes, heart disease and stroke, and complications during...
