MEDICAL CARD FOR PARENTS Our parents have cared for and raised us for years. As they age, we may occasionally have to take care of them 🏥🏥 Unfortunately, many older people lack the reserves necessary to pay for obligations like unforeseen medical costs. The bills might quickly mount up 📈when helping parents in their later years. However, securing financial stability by purchasing takaful medical card for parents gives them access to the best care possible. Moreover, several takaful medical card plans also offer a portion of the payout 💰during the parent's lifetime to assist with urgent needs like medical expenses. Some parents might need 24-hour care, frequent trips to the doctor or hospital, and expensive prescription drugs 💊🩺💉or medical procedures. In addition, a severe illness might result in longer treatments and significantly higher costs. We also provide a cash benefit that can be used to pay for medical bills, in-home care, and other expenses while the insured person is still alive.

📰 NEWS: Changes to the way repeat prescriptions are ordered means the NHS App will replace pharmacy ordering for the majority of patients. The NHS App will be the safest and easiest way for patients to request their repeat prescription. NHS Greater Manchester has produced a video to support people in using the NHS App. Practices will set their own date for this change and GPs will work closely with pharmacies to ensure patients who require additional assistance get special care and specific policies geared to their personal needs. PCB Chair, Luvjit Kandula FRPharmS, said: "Ordering repeat prescriptions through the NHS App means that GP practices can spend more time offering patient appointments and dealing with more complex issues. Just as importantly though, it can allow patients to feel more empowered." Read more: https://lnkd.in/eVVn_jur #NHSApp #Pharmacy #GMPrimaryCare

JR lives with type 2 diabetes and works 10-11 hours a day driving a tractor for a local farm. It is difficult for JR to make medical appointments since their employer has very strict attendance guidelines. JR has ingrown toenails in the big toes, that cause a great deal of pain.

Almost one in five of us are ignoring Optometrist prescriptions which spells a real problem when it comes to Aussies' health and wellbeing. Even more concerning is that that some people are unaware of what is covered under Medicare with 21 per cent saying they skip eye tests because of costs despite regular eye tests being fully covered. Bupa Optical & Hearing Director, Adrian Kemp said "it's concerning that some Australians may be needlessly going about their lives with vision impairments which may negatively impact their ability to be at their best at work, drive safely or learn to their full potential." "Amidst the current cost-of-living environment, it's vital people know that eye tests can be done quickly, can be bulk-billed for Medicare card holders and don't require a GP's referral."
