Good morning to all,

Next week will be interesting for sure. On Monday it will literally be Ron and I. Ashley is out for a planned week and Sheila had a family emergency and is in PR. So, for those who have appointments please know I will do my best to get everyone done and out the door as quickly as possible. If there is an annual we may move them just for time sake since they are longer visits. I gotta say not loving 2026 so far. But we will get through together.

Hungary with its beautiful architecture. The church has literally every inch ornate. And it was cold. Saw just about all the Christmas markets and saw the private hospital. They like many countries have medical for all citizens. You can purchase additional insurance for more choices. So far all of the countries like it. There are waits but again if you need emergent you are taken care of. If a simple hernia then you wait. And lest we not forget the pickle in a pouch. lol.

For those who are history buffs. During WW2 Hungary was with the Germans. I am sure you can kind of figure out what was happening. The memorial called The Shoes were fished out of the Danube and are lining its shores. Powerful. We should never forget and perhaps for today to be kinder and more mindful of each other.

Country would
Be so much healthier for sure.

Slovenia. I will say a couple
Of things about this country as we head to the Alps! Over 70% of the ground is green. They love dogs, they embrace the basketball courts as well as walking areas and a nip of drinking. Young vibe and very good food. They also embrace an outdoor market that is more phenomenal.

Good morning or evening. Not even sure. There is a debate about the day. lol. Here are some photos of the first day. When we arrived we thought we were in Baltimore is all its glory. But then this happened and the beauty of the city of Vienna shined bright.

We made it to Austria. Somehow my thoughts were far different than reality. It’s like stepping into the city limits of Baltimore with all the traffic as well. An interesting blend of modern and old in the architecture.

Dear WPPC Peeps,
We are for sure in trying times. Insurance changes has us all going bonkers for sure. There has been a few questions so I will answer globally.

As a provider, I am credentialed with each and every insurance. There are many BC/BS, Tricare, UHC plans and the like. For many years I have been credentialed with UHC and in that umbrella is several UHC type plans. When there was a data breach many and I mean many of us that have been around and grandfathered in got dropped off. I did not even know this until patients with some of those plans either showed up for visits or my biller told me. I have tried again to be placed back into those plans but they shut the panel for all of us affected. This is why medicare attached type plans are also having to find plans because insurances have gone bat crap crazy. Now, do I still have UHC plans?????? YEP. It is a question that gets answered when we run eligibility. It is a tough time as many are trying to find not only new plans but will the medications that have been on continue within the new plan. I for one am on two injectables that because of a 100% tarriff on one of them is now gone from my formulary and the other is just dropped without a reason.

In the end I wish I had a crystal ball but if is going to be quite the ride come january. Here is what I ask. I am small potatoes compared to the Medstars and Luminus organizations. I really operate on a shoestring literally so be mindful of those pesky deductibles, copays and co insurances. If of course there are questions my biller will talk to you about it. I think about money when the SMECO bill is due but she operates the day to day and knows the skinny about insurances. I would rather my time be with you all, my patients. Mistakes are made and as soon as I know the issue I bring billing in to sort it out.

It is difficult to predict what will happen but fingers crossed for all of us.

For now let us think turkey and enjoy the day with our own peeps.

Dr. M

Oh my,
Let me clarify. I am doing jury duty and having some follow ups and tests which on those days I will be out of the office. Some things I can schedule on Fridays which is easiest all around but in the event this cannot be changed, Deborah is in the office holding down the fort as usual. I wrote the post just so folks would know there are just a few personal and health things I need to attend to. My sincere apologies for any misunderstanding.

Just a side note. We welcome Sheila back to the flock and she will be catching up on things and our little family will all be together again. If you are having issues getting through and leave it on the appointment line, and do not get a call back in a day or two (its been crazy this month while Sheila has been gone) please let me know. We can give Ron the what for!!!!!! lol
