Do You Have Insurance Yet? With The ACA It’s Almost Time…

We have many patients asking about the Affordable Care Act, or ACA, also called “Obamacare”. The date is approaching in which all American citizens will be required to have health insurance. We hope that your employers have already delivered their notices telling you whether they will be offering Healthcare Coverage or not. This notice must be handed to you or first class mailed to all employees by October 1st, 2013. If you haven’t heard anything from your employer yet, it won’t hurt to ask. We want all our patients and citizens of Westland and Livonia Michigan being aware of their options.

If your employer is not offering healthcare coverage, you can find healthcare in the government approved healthcare marketplace. All individuals must be covered with healthcare insurance by March 31st, 2014, if you don not have it, you must buy it. (Open enrollment starts October 1st, 2013.) If a citizen of Westland or Livonia or any other city in Michigan does not obtain health care coverage by then, they will face a fine.

We know there are many more facts out there about this new Affordable Healthcare Act, information on if your employer is offering it, to spousal insurance, mandates, subsidies and more. At Millenium Medical Group West; the Westland Clinic center can help guide you through what you need to do to get healthcare coverage for you and your family before the time is up. Call our offices today or go to WWW.DOL.GOV/EBSA/HEALTHREFORM to find more detailed information from the government pertaining to the Affordable Care Act.

Avoid the Flu in Michigan!

With Michigan’s flu season at it’s prime, every day more and more people are getting infected. Knowing how you can prevent yourself from catching the bug can reduce your chances of getting sick significantly.

Besides the obvious prevention of getting the flu shot, there are some things you can do on your own. Because the flu can be transferred by both direct and indirect contact, hand washing is number one. If someone coughs or sneezes into their hands, then touches a doorknob or any other object that object is contaminated. The flu virus is able to survive between 2 and 8 hours on surfaces. Washing your hands very frequently can help reduce the chances of becoming infected.

Along with washing your hands, covering your coughs and sneezes is also very important. Many people have a horrible habit of using their hands to cover their coughs or sneezes. When doing so, anything you touch between your sneeze/cough and washing your hands is contaminated. Using a tissue or your elbow to cover your cough/sneeze can reduce the transfer of germs.

You may be fortunate enough and not become victim of the flu, but you should always know the symptoms in case you do become sick. The flu can vary from person to person, meaning they can be mild for some, or severe for others. Common symptoms of the flu are: headache, muscle ache, fever, chills, coughing, sneezing, or runny nose. Symptoms can occur suddenly and can differ from person to person.

If you think you may have the flu, or want to get your flu shot, contact Millennium Medical Group Westland or Livonia location today to get proper treatment.
