Finding the right home health agency for yourself or a loved one is one of those decisions that can feel overwhelming, especially when it needs to be made quickly.

That's why we're excited to share that U.S. News & World Report has released its first-ever Best Home Health ratings, evaluating more than 12,000 Medicare-certified agencies across the country. Using real data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the ratings score agencies on care quality, patient outcomes, and patient experience so you can make a more informed choice with confidence.

Here's what stood out: patients treated by top-rated agencies showed greater improvement in everyday activities like getting out of bed, bathing independently, and managing their medications. That's real progress that makes a real difference.

Knowing which agencies are highly rated is a great first step, but knowing how your insurance or Medicare plan covers home health care is just as important. We're here to help you understand your options before you need them.

Do you have questions about home health care coverage? We'd love to help.

These bacon-wrapped hot dogs add pizazz to summer BBQs or nights at home watching baseball.

8 beef hot dogs, hot dog buns, and slices of center-cut bacon.
1/2 tsp. garlic powder, optional
1/2 tsp. chili powder, optional
Pickled jalapeño slices, for garnish
Chopped red onion, for garnish

Wrap one piece of bacon around each hot dog and secure the bacon with a wooden pick at each end. Sprinkle both sides of the bacon-wrapped hot dog with garlic powder and chili powder, if you like.

These hot dogs can be baked in the oven at 375° for 25 minutes, or grilled for 10-12 minutes. Turn the hot dogs over halfway through the cooking time to ensure the bacon is evenly crispy.

Add the bacon wrapped hot dogs to the buns with jalapeño, red onion, and other condiments that you like.

Many people with disabilities worry they’ll lose their healthcare if they go back to work. The good news is that Arizona’s Freedom to Work program may allow eligible individuals with disabilities to earn income while keeping their AHCCCS coverage.

Every situation is different, but you may be able to:
✅ Return to work or increase your hours
✅ Keep valuable health coverage
✅ Build financial independence
✅ Continue receiving the care and services you need

If you’ve been afraid to work because you might lose your benefits, don’t assume you have to choose between a paycheck and healthcare.

As a Medicaid and developmental disabilities advocate for more than 25 years, I’m happy to help you understand your options and point you in the right direction.

🏥Even with good health insurance, many people still face out-of-pocket costs like deductibles, copays and coinsurance after being hospitalized. That’s where hospital indemnity insurance can help.

This type of supplemental coverage pays cash benefits directly to you, so you can use it however you need. Many plans offer a lump-sum payment for hospital admission and may also include daily benefits during your stay.

That extra financial support can help cover:
• Health plan deductibles or coinsurance
• Rent or mortgage payments
• Utilities and other household bills
• Transportation, meals or childcare

Hospital indemnity insurance doesn’t replace major medical coverage, but it can help protect your finances during an unexpected hospital stay.

A new Medicare GLP-1 Bridge Program is helping eligible beneficiaries access certain GLP-1 medications for $50 per month through a temporary CMS program.

What many people don’t know:
✔️ This is not processed through your regular Medicare Part D drug benefit.
✔️ You must meet specific medical eligibility guidelines.
✔️ Your healthcare provider must enroll you and obtain approval before medication can be dispensed.

If you’ve been told GLP-1 medications were too expensive or weren’t covered, it may be worth taking another look.

I’m committed to keeping my Medicare clients informed about important updates and new programs that may help lower healthcare costs.

Most people are surprised to learn that dental insurance doesn’t work like medical insurance—especially when major procedures are involved. 🦷

In a recent case, a patient needed extensive work to repair failing dental implants. The total cost came close to $50,000. Even though they had dental insurance, the plan’s annual maximum was relatively low, so insurance covered only a small portion of the expense. The majority of the cost had to be paid out of pocket.

Situations like this are more common than many people realize. Most standard dental plans are designed to help with cleanings, exams, and basic procedures—not high-cost restorative work like implants, oral surgery, or complex repairs.

The good news is that better options do exist. Certain high-benefit dental insurance plans offer higher annual maximums and may include coverage for major services, including implants. While no dental plan covers everything, choosing the right coverage before major work is needed can significantly reduce financial stress.

If you have dental implants, a history of dental issues, or simply want to plan ahead, it may be time to review your coverage. 💡

👉 Not sure if your dental plan would hold up in a worst-case scenario?

Let’s talk about dental coverage options that may better protect you long term.
