Cinergy Health Helps with Post College Coverage

2010-03-12T00:45:00.000-08:00

You’ve finished college and arelooking for a job in a depressed market. The frustrating job market isn’t your only worry, however, since you arealso about to need health coverage as well. What can you do, if you don’t find a job quickly? Cinergy Health, founded by Daniel Touizer,offers important recommendations.

The Medical Director of Cinergy Health, Dr.Margaret Lewin says,“My advice for grads would be to not put off their decisionin regards to insurance because it can take a long time to find adequateemployment and it is not worth the risk.” You could join the armed forces or Peace Corp to stay covered.

Another option is to pay out ofpocket for short term insurance. This isoften a good idea, and most of these plans cover doctor’s visits and routineissues; keep in mind, however, that they usually don’t cover catastrophicevents. Many recent grads assume thatthey will be fine going without insurance for awhile, as they are young andhealthy. However, as Ron Ghilino CLU,manager of advisory services at Meyer and Associates points out, “If somethingdid happen and a student was not covered, they could find themselvesinsurmountable debt between student loans and medical bills that would be veryhard to come out of.”

Steps to Switch Doctors

2010-03-05T00:44:00.000-08:00

Most people don’t like to have ahassle. Rather than switching doctors,even if they don’t like theirs, they’ll decide to stay with their currentsituation. However, it’s important to beproactive if your current doctor isn’t the best for you. Cinergy Health, a health plan providerstarted by Daniel Touizer, offers tips and practical advice for getting thebest care for yourself.

First, take a look in your currentdoctor’s practice. Perhaps there isanother doctor who will better meet your needs, thus allowing you to simplyswitch doctors and not practices. Ifyou’ve been diagnosed with diabetes, for instance, you might want a youngerdoctor who has specific experience working with patients with diabetes;according to Dr. Margaret Lewin of Cinergy Health, you might even want a nursepractitioner who has more time to talk about your needs.

If no one within the currentpractice works for you, it’s time to look elsewhere. Start by looking through your insuranceplan’s list of physicians. Next, seewhat hospitals the doctors are aligned with and see which is most convenientfor you. As Dr. Lewin says, "Limityour search to those doctors affiliated with that hospital. In order to givethose doctors admitting privileges, the hospital wants them to meet certaincriteria."

Swallowing Fingernails, A Danger?

2010-02-26T00:42:00.000-08:00

Have you ever been warned not tochew your fingernails, and not to swallow them? Parents will often say that fingernails will stay in your stomach forseven years. Is this true?

According to Cinergy Health MedicalDirector Dr. Margaret Lewin, this information is definitely not true. As part of Cinergy Health, a health insuranceplan company founded by Daniel Touizer, she explains that fingernails will bepartially broken down by the acids in your stomach. What’s left will then move through yourintestinal tract and become part of your stool.

She does warn that, on very rareoccasion, a sharp fingernail could become stuck in the appendix and could causeinflammation or appendicitis; she points, however, that such an incident wouldbe extremely rare.

Dr. Margaret Lewin, the medical director forthe insurance provider started by Daniel Touizer, Cinergy Health, explains thatyou should mention to your doctor if you are going outside of North American orWestern Europe. In these situations, there might be special immunizations ormedications that are recommended.

You should probably get the H1N1 vaccine and the seasonal flu vaccine beforeyou travel, says Dr. Lewin from Cinergy Health. You should stay well hydrated if you areflying and you should move around every few hours to prevent blood from poolingin your legs.

Health Coverage When Unemployed

2010-02-12T00:22:00.000-08:00

Certainly, becoming unemployed is stressful for manyreasons. One of these reasons is the loss of health coverage. Dr. Margaret Lewin, the medical director of thehealth plan program started by Daniel Touizer called Cinergy Health, says thatpeople need to evaluate the individual finances and see what they willneed. You’ll need to determine how muchyou can pay out of pocket, and whether you not you want a plan that coverspreventative care or just one that covers emergencies.

In addition, according to Dr. Lewin from Cinergy Health,people should start looking for coverage when they think they may lose theirjobs. If you let your coverage lapse formore than 60 days, you may have a waiting period before your new benefitsbegin. Health programs might also beclassified as pre-existing conditions.

Stay Healthy Traveling

2010-02-05T00:21:00.000-08:00

This year, more than any other, it’s important to stayhealthy throughout the winter travel season. The CDC and many health experts offer concrete tips to keep your healthin tip-top shape this winter.

First, make sure to pack hand sanitizer in your suitcasewhen you take off for a trip. Pack wipesin your carryon so that you have something to use while you are in route toyour destination. Wash your handsfrequently and avoid touching other people’s items.

If you sit next to someone who appears to be sick on theplane, you have a few options. Accordingto the medical director of the health plan program, Cinergy Health, started byDaniel Touizer, you can try to change your seat. If this is not possible, offer the sneezingseat-mate tissues and turn on the air vetn in their direction.

Exercise Like an Olympian

2010-01-29T00:19:00.000-08:00

With the Winter Olympics fast approaching, a few health andexercise experts offer advice for ordinary people to be like Olympicathletes. Here’s how. First,as Jerzy Gregorek, a former Olympian and author says, “Rather than saying youwant to lose five to ten pounds, pick a specific weight you want to be at, andmake that your world record goal.”

Next, according to Cinergy Health medical director Dr.Margaret Lewin, you should join with a team to reach your goals together. Further, says this medical director of thehealth program started by Daniel Touizer, “You need to focus on going thedistance.” This means that you need tolook at your weight loss plan overtime, and focus on going the distance, ratherthan only focusing on the short term.

Both Gregorek and Lewin believe that you should also look tothe medal. While Olympians see theirgoal as the medal, you should set your sites on a goal as well. Give yourself treats along the way and allowyourself to “get onto the podium” at times.

Dr. Margaret Lewin Discusses Medicare

2010-01-22T04:19:00.000-08:00

Dr. Margaret Lewin, medical director at Cinergy Health, is featured in the following video discusses the need to expand the Medicare program in the United States, and why the Medicare buy-in option will probably be un-affordable for most people.

Patients love Medicare because the premiums are affordable, and you are covered for previous conditions, but unfortunately the plan is going bankrupt. Medicare has always been underfunded, since its inception and will probably become insolvent in the year 2017. But according to Dr. Lewin, this is a pity because expanding Medicare for people in the age group 55-65 would be an excellent option.

Explaining Cinergy Health

2009-12-13T04:31:00.000-08:00

Cinergy Health makes its headquarters in Aventura, Florida, with Daniel Touizer as the company’s CEO. Cinergy Health designs and offers innovative health insurance solutions which are affordable by almost anyone, and which encourages preventive health care and early doctor visits as cost controlling measures but which make good health sense as well.

Cinergy’s preferred insurance plans are limited benefit plans. These plans give first dollar coverage for the most common, predictable and most frequent types of care that people need. The very first doctor’s visit is covered by the plan, with no deductible. This encourages the insurer to seek out the care he needs as soon as its needed. Not waiting means less chance of the condition worsening.

Also covered are diagnostic testing, maternity care and surgery when needed. Cinergy’s affordable health insurance benefit plans are a good alternative for people on a tight budget but want the good care they deserve.

Daniel Touizer, Healthcare Coverage and Unemployment

2009-12-06T03:55:00.000-08:00

According to the most recently released unemployment rates in the U.S., upwards of 17.5% of Americans are unemployed. This number is considered accurate due to its status as a U-6 number and shows that nearly one out of five U.S. citizens is out of work. Daniel Touizer, CEO of Cinergy Health, a health insurance benefit program, expressed his concern at these statistics.

"True unemployment rates are determined by the U-6 number, which has spiked to 17.5%, the highest rate in over 20 years," says Daniel Touizer. "These statistics are alarming as it means that many Americans do not have access to affordable health insurance from their employers and are at extreme financial risk if something goes wrong. Though there are often extensions available for recently laid-off employees, such as COBRA, the premiums are often much higher than someone who is unemployed can or is willing to afford. But affordable options do exist; Americans simply need to know where to look and how to understand the limits that exist in these relatively inexpensive health plans."

Fortunately it is still possible to find affordable healthcare coverage plans. Through an innovative and solution oriented approach, Cinergy Health can provide coverage for individuals and families, no matter what their financial situation or health status. Touizer points out that Cinergy Health is an especially logical solution, since its plan encourages people to seek out health care as soon as it's needed, and not to wait, which could allow the condition to worsen or become acute.

Even people with good health insurance coverage can find that the cost of health care for themselves and their families is still an expensive undertaking. Often there is so much money that people pay out-of-pocket for deductibles, co-payments and other costs that they are left wondering what exactly their monthly premiums are for.

Not strictly an insurance package, Cinergy rather offers a program that allows members to receive a discount from doctors, hospitals and specialists which has been agreed to for their services.
