MEDICARE SECTION

ANNUAL ENROLLMENT PERIOD IS COMING: October 15th to December 7th

Yes, the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period is coming back around again. For my clients, if you want to make changes to your Medicare plan or have questions, please let me know and I will get you onto my schedule to discuss.

You may have been receiving mailings from the different Medicare insurance companies already about their plan offerings for 2023.  If you see something you are interested in (a lower premium, copay, or an extra benefit) please let me know and we can discuss. I can also make a plan change (enroll) you into the new plan for 2023.

You should have already received your ANOC Document (Annual Notice Of Change) towards the end of September. This document explains what your 2022 benefits or plan benefits are and how your Medicare plan with change for 2023. So, look at the comparisons and see if your current Medicare plan will still work for you in 2023. See if your doctors are still in the network or participating, your prescriptions will still be covered for 2023, and if the extra benefits will still be offered. If not, please give me a call.

I will be returning all calls!!!!  My goal is within 24 to 48 hours. You can reach me by email or cell phone. If there is a delay in returning your call or email then please text me (with your first and last name at the end of the text message).

Frozen Cocktail – under 200 calories

Strawberry Pina Colada

Caribbean anyone?!

Ingredients

140 g fresh pineapple pieces (~ 1 cup)

200 g fresh strawberries (~ 1 ½ cups)

4 tablespoon tinned coconut milk (I used light)

50 ml white rum (~ ¼ cup) - or more to taste

25 - 30 ice cubes

Instructions

1. Add the pineapple, strawberries, coconut milk and rum to a high-powered blender, and blend until smooth. Add the ice, and blend again until no large lumps of ice remain. Serve immediately.

2. Alternatively, if you don't have a high-powered blender that can cope with blending ice, just blend the first four ingredients together, and serve over ice.
