S19 E06 - You or a Loved One May Qualify for a Medicare Special Needs Program with Enhanced Benefits. Learn More

Join me as we discuss who qualifies for Medicare Special Needs Coverage. We will walk you through the process to justify if you have:

A Chronic Medical Condition
Are you in a Nursing Home or Require Equivalent Home Healthcare?

Our experts from RPS Benefits by Design are Maria Ahlers, Director of Client Services, Carolee Steele, Director of Medicare, Individual Operations and Joyce Thompson, Individual & Medicare Insurance Consultant and they are trained, certified and specialize in this specific area.

If you are a caregiver, mother, daughter, or anyone who takes care of someone with special needs and is currently on Medicare or Medicaid, as soon as this April, the recipient may receive a letter, call, or email informing them they will no longer qualify for Medicaid.

Medicare Advantage plans every caregiver and family member should know about and why the omnibus spending bill is going to take Medicaid benefits away from 15 million people.

We will discuss why this is happening and 6.1 million of those people will qualify for an ACA policy at about $10 a month.

The Hearing Aide Experience with Focus Hearing

By David Thiessen • September 19, 2026

Episode 2228 notes Shannon Schneller knows why most people don’t come in with mild hearing loss and wait until they have moderate hearing loss. “But moderate hearing loss responds very well if it's treated it's just so much easier if we can catch it mild to moderate than if the loss goes to severe hearing loss”. She will tell us why you could lose more of your ability to discern speech the longer you wait and the hearing aid will be less effective once loss has gone on too long. Today, we explore the Hearing Aide Experience , and if you think you’re too young, the fact is, untreated hearing loss can start as early as 35 years old.

By David Thiessen • September 12, 2026

But Abby Summers and Kerry Trapnell from Aletheia have a much better plan for rural hospitals that is making them stronger and helping them succeed, lead and grow.
