Altrua HealthShare Offering Members No Claim, Low Cost, High Quality Healthcare Service through Healthcare2U

Partnership Provides New Option for Individual Health Plans in Time of High Premiums and Exchange Closures

October 12, 2017 – AUSTIN, Texas — Altrua HealthShare, one of the nation’s leading non-profit Healthcare Sharing Ministries, unique for its monthly contribution model, is now serving its membership base of more than 15,000 with Healthcare2U, one of the country’s fastest-growing Direct Primary Care Networks.

Andy Bonner, president and CEO of Healthcare2U said, “Providing patients new ways to access primary care as conveniently and cost-effectively as possible is our mission. It’s a perfect match to Altrua’s sharing approach and immediately provides Altrua’s members more affordable access and expanded services.

Healthcare2U and Altrua have partnered to create Silver Select, a new, more affordable plan, available in the marketplace just in time for open enrollment for individuals and families in select markets. Beginning October 1, 2017, Silver Select members can see a doctor an unlimited number of times for a $10 per visit fee. Healthcare2U’s direct primary care program will provide Altrua members access to 24/7/365 telemedicine for their entire families at no additional cost and guarantees same or next day office visits for acute care, if needed. In addition, 13 chronic issues ranging from diabetes to high blood pressure can be fully managed through the Silver Select plan within Healthcare2U’s clinics for the same $10 per visit fee.

Doug Sherman, CEO of Altrua HealthShare, said, “Healthcare2U is bringing a concierge-style service to our members and at the same time, providing access to low cost, high quality services. Because Healthcare2U services don’t generate any insurance claims, we have a new opportunity to pass savings onto our members via lower plan costs.”

Telemedicine, low-cost immunizations, discount pharmacy agreements and wellness programs are just a few of the ways Healthcare2U works to dramatically reduce healthcare costs.

Bonner continued, “The fact is, insurance providers continue to announce they are no longer participating in the individual exchanges and premiums are rising, limiting choice with double digit increases in premiums. Our combined ‘Membership + Membership’ formula with Altrua is a great way to guard against unexpected medical bills and rising premiums and provides consumers a much needed affordable choice.”

The Altrua partnership is the latest major expansion announcement for Healthcare2U in the past year. In a time when exchange shutdowns are reducing individual choice, Healthcare2U is providing rational and reasonable non-insurance healthcare coverage to pay for basic and chronic medical conditions. It is particularly attractive to, and affordable for people with high premium, high deductible insurance plans. The Silver Select program is fully compliant with Affordable Care Act coverage provisions, which means Altrua’s members avoid government penalty and is available to members in Connecticut, parts of Florida Louisiana, New York (Manhattan) Nevada, Oklahoma, Tennessee (Knoxville) and Texas. More than 100 Healthcare2U clinics are available to members.

Sticking to a Healthy Eating Plan over the Holidays and into the New Year

 

Most of us have been there with New Year’s resolutions of losing weight. We start the year with a great diet and exercise plan that seems to fall apart before we know it.

Eating a healthy diet and being physically active has many benefits, including helping to prevent or manage diabetes. Some 29.1 million adults in the United States have diabetes, but one-quarter of them don’t know they have it, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Most of us want to get to our weight loss goals as fast as possible. But in terms of adopting new eating plans, we should look no further than the story of the  “The Hare and the Tortoise.’’ If we approach weight loss as the Tortoise, our chances of success are much greater.

Humans are creatures of habit and dieting should be no different. Those who are most successful at maintaining a healthy eating plan have adopted habits and routines that they maintain for the rest of their lives. Here are some simple guidelines that will enable you to lose weight and keep it off.

Pick an eating plan

A diet that is rich in lean proteins, complex carbohydrates along with fruits and vegetables is a good start.

Count calories

Start by calculating your daily caloric needs based on your height, weight and activity level.  Then consume 200 to 400 fewer calories than you need. At first this may seem cumbersome, but once practiced it becomes easier.

Get into a rut

One of the most important aspects of dieting is getting into a routine. Although boring at first, a new eating routine becomes easier to stick with once the weight starts to come off.  Breakfast and lunch are typically the easiest meals to plan for so decide on two meal choices for morning and two for noon with each meal totaling between 300 and 450 calories. For example, a standard bowl of oatmeal with an artificial sweetener and two eggs fried in olive oil amount to about 350 calories.

Plan

Stock up on healthy foods. The last thing you want is to try and figure out what you will be eating when you are hungry at mealtime.

Snack

To help avoid binge eating, eat at lean protein snack – such as a protein shake or protein bar – about one hour prior to your heaviest meal to help reduce your appetite and ward off binge eating.

Chew your food

A simple technique to control your appetite is to slow down and chew your food. By chewing your food between 30 and 50 times enables the body to release its satiety or “I’m full“ hormone. This also helps prevent the desire to go back for seconds and potentially overeat.

Avoid dessert

Unfortunately, sweets are off-limits, with the exception of a once-a-week “cheat.’’ Pick a day as your day for your dessert. A nice daily substitute for a weekly dessert craving is a piece of fruit or a cinnamon spice fiber wafer cookie which won’t derail your healthy diet.

By adopting new habits to living healthier and changing how you eat, you can go a long way toward changing your life.

Focus on Diabetes – Preventing a Killer

 

Diabetes Type 2 – formerly called “adult-onset diabetes” – is reaching epidemic proportions in the United States.

People previously thought they were immune because they had no family history or were athletes in high school. Now they are finding themselves battling a disease that is one of the leading causes of premature death and disability in the United States.

November is National Diabetes Month, but it’s important to take steps year-round to manage this disease and its impact on millions of Americans. With diabetes, the body cannot properly control the amount of sugar in the blood because it does not have enough insulin

In 2012, 29.1 million Americans had diabetes while 86 million age 20 or older had pre-diabetes, according to the National Diabetes Statistics Report: Estimates of Diabetes and Its Burden in the United States, 2014, published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Moreover, a study published in 2015 by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) found that nearly 50 percent of adults in the United States either have diabetes or pre-diabetes, a condition in which elevated blood sugar levels already exist, making it highly likely that diabetes will follow.

Diabetes can slowly lead to death if not properly treated and prevented.  People with a family history of diabetes, are overweight and have a sedentary lifestyle have the highest risk for developing diabetes and prediabetes.

We are now seeing individuals in their early twenties – as well as thin people – with full-blown diabetes.

Diabetes and its co-existing conditions can lead to premature death and disability. Diabetes is strongly associated with serious medical conditions that include heart disease, hypertension, sudden death, blindness, limb amputations, kidney disease, and strokes.

It is becoming more and more common to see an individual in their late 40s who is blind with limb amputations and is on kidney dialysis.

No question, diabetes is one of the No. 1 health problems in the 21st century. But as easy it is to develop diabetes, with a little work and the right attitude it is easily preventable.

Diet and exercise are the mainstays of prevention and treatment of diabetes. Any diet that promotes weight loss will work, but a diet that is slow and gradual will allow the individual to adopt lifelong changes that are necessary to carry this prevention mindset late into life.

First, it is important to start with a healthy diet and avoid processed and simple carbohydrates – such as donuts, bagels, white breads, chips and sugary drinks. A healthy eating plan should include whole grains, fruits, vegetables and lean proteins such as eggs, chicken, fish, lean red meats. Some healthy fats should be part of this diet but kept to a minimum.

To promote slow, steady weight loss, it is important to take in about 200 – 400 calories less than your daily needs.

Second, move more. It is important to engage in exercise or physical activity that is of moderate intensity for 30 minutes a day, five days per week. Exercise provides many benefits for a healthy lifestyle, including making the insulin system much more efficient and resistant to decay as seen in diabetic patients. Insulin is the hormone that closely regulates the body’s sugar levels and when finely tuned; as in a person who exercises regularly, can handle rises in sugar levels and keep them in a normal range.

Whether it is walking, jogging, cycling or any other aerobic activity make it count.

Simple lifestyle changes can prevent a disease that can take a tremendous toll – emotionally, physically, and financially. Make these changes now to prevent a killer disease.

Direct Primary Care Delivering Lower Costs, Better Patient Experience

 

Personalized health care. Lower costs. No insurance claims.

Driven by market forces and demand for personalized quality health care, direct primary care is growing across the United States.

The direct primary care model provides an affordable, meaningful alternative to fee-for-service medical insurance billing.  While “concierge” care is often characterized by hefty retainers, direct primary care is an affordable alternative for individuals and employees of companies of all sizes.

Direct primary care – or DPC – provides an alternative to medical insurance as the company or individual pays an affordable monthly fee that covers the treatment of acute and chronic illnesses and preventative care.

“Direct primary care benefits patients by providing substantial savings and a greater degree of access to, and time with, physicians,’’ according to the American Academy of Family Physicians.

With direct primary care, no claims are filed with the employer’s health plan. When compared to the traditional fee-for-service model of the medical insurance world, direct primary care has the potential to provide better medical care for patients while reducing the paperwork and administrative red tape associated with filing insurance claims.

In managing insurance claims in a fee-for-service model, the traditional primary care physician’s overhead costs usually run as high as 60 percent of monthly collections. At the same time, physicians typically see more patients to cover overhead with less time spent with each patient.

Because of these challenges, more and more physicians are selling their practices to hospital systems, retiring early or converting their practices to a direct primary care model.  The direct primary care model provides several benefits.

More quality time with a physician

By avoiding the bureaucratic complexity of health insurance, more time can be spent on treating disease.

Physicians can dedicate more time to each patient, which enables a more thorough discussion of health issues and helps mitigate patient anxiety.

For example, a patient scheduled an appointment to be evaluated after months of abdominal pain. With concerns of everything from cancer to inflammatory diseases of the colon, the patient was seeking a referral to a specialist to undergo expensive colon testing and a CAT scan of the abdomen.  After a thorough evaluation and exam with simple blood tests, it was clear the patient’s abdominal problems stemmed from multiple life stressors. Prescribing medication – which cost about $4 per month — significantly improved her life.

Financial savings

When diagnosing illness, a little extra time in the examination room can save thousands in health care costs. A little extra time can help a physician get to the root of the problem, which often eliminates the need for pricey specialists, surgical procedures and expensive medications. This helps keep health care costs low for both the patient and the employer by reducing the claims filed against an employer’s health insurance plan. At the same time, healthy employees take fewer sick days – which flows to the employer’s bottom line.

Health care advocacy

Direct primary care improves the physician-patient relationship and enables the physician to be an advocate for the patient – including making specialist referrals only when needed and prescribing less expensive generic medications when appropriate.

At Healthcare2U, our team of doctors acts as health care advocates for employees and employers in reducing the number of unnecessary tests and procedures as determined by the American Board of Internal Medicine Foundation’s “Choosing Wisely” campaign.

“It is urgent that health care providers and patients work together and have conversations about wise treatment decisions,’’ according to Choosing Wisely. “That means choosing care that is supported by evidence showing that it works for patients like them; is not duplicative of other tests or procedures already received; won’t harm them; and is truly necessary.”

A health care advocate can make a huge difference in helping to prevent adverse outcomes that can arise from prescribing medications or unnecessary procedures.

A healthier and engaged patient

With greater access to health care and a doctor-patient relationship – particularly with employer-sponsored direct primary care programs – it is important for patients to get a biometric screen for any risk factors. By focusing on prevention, chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension and heart disease can be identified early and aggressively managed to improve the patient’s life and help prevent future hospitalizations and catastrophic events such as a stroke or heart attack

Direct primary care is redefining the delivery of medicine and is key to achieving lower costs, better health outcomes and an improved patient experience.
