Maintaining Optimal Health During Summer

It's summertime in the United States! πŸŒžπŸŒžπŸŒž

July is the perfect opportunity to take a break from our busy lives and focus on our well-being, spend quality time with our loved ones and cherish every moment. πŸ’žAs we prepare for the upcoming autumn, open enrollment, and holiday season, let's take a moment this month to appreciate the caregivers working tirelessly to protect our future. Remember to take a deep breath, relax, and don't hesitate to reach out to those who can support you. Staying social is crucial for our happiness and mental health.

It's essential to stay hydrated and cool during the hot weather. For the last few days, I have struggled to complete my daily 10k steps, but it's essential to keep moving. πŸšΆπŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸšΆπŸΌπŸšΆπŸΌπŸšΆπŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Some of our team members are taking much-needed vacations. At the same time, I head to Nashville for a benefits conference to discuss the benefits of mindfulness in U.S. healthcare and lead meditation.

As we enjoy our summer vacations, let's not forget to prioritize our health and safety.

Enjoy your summer and take care! 

Love,

Naama & the RightPlan Team πŸ’œ

The William G. Wetzel Excellence in Public Speaking Award

I was deeply humbled and filled with gratitude last month when I was honored at the National Conference in New Orleans during the Award Ceremony.The moment was truly unforgettable as my name was announced as the recipient of the William G. Wetzel Excellence in Public Speaking Award, bestowed by the esteemed NABIP group of Benefits Professionals.This prestigious award is only given to healthcare industry leaders who have demonstrated exceptional dedication and expertise in public speaking. In addition to being compensated for their talks, awardees also volunteer their time and skills to educate and provide vital information to industry colleagues, public officials, and the public without any expectation of compensation.Receiving this recognition is a true testament to my commitment and passion for my work, and I am forever grateful to all those who have supported me throughout my life and helped me become the person I am today. πŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌ

Employer's Section

Level-Funded plan options –

Many companies have come to recognize the immense advantages of integrating a level-funded plan for managing healthcare costs while maintaining the integrity of employee benefits. The resulting positive effects are often apparent in the general well-being of employees. It's important to note that financial stability for workers encompasses more than just their earnings. To promote their overall health, one must consider all the factors that can impact it, such as their financial wellness and access to healthcare.

Employers nationwide have various ways to raise awareness and understanding among their workforce, encouraging healthier and more productive teams. There are multiple approaches to educating employees at different levels. Still, as someone who has taught and led meditation for years, I can attest that it is a powerful way to help teams experience the benefits of taking time to relax their minds, leading to increased efficiency not only in the workplace but also in their communities. This, in turn, can lead to a boost in productivity, focus, and happiness.

Medicare 

As of July 1, 2022, Medicare beneficiaries using an insulin pump covered under Part B's durable medical equipment benefit or those who obtain their covered insulin through a Medicare Advantage Plan will benefit from a new cap on insulin costs. This means that the price of a one-month supply of insulin will now be limited to a maximum of $35, and the Part B deductible will not apply.This change is a result of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act and represents a significant step towards making insulin more affordable and accessible for those who need it. These changes are expected to benefit millions of Americans who rely on insulin to manage their diabetes and ensure they can continue to receive the care they need to stay healthy.
