Mariella Frostrup: '400 a month private medical cover failed me'

Posted: Published on November 28th, 2014

This week, TV presenter Mariella Frostrup, 52, spoke out after her familys 400-a-month private medical insurance policy that didnt cover her for treatment for menopause-related ailments. I would say the majority of ailments are natural, Ms Frostrup said. There are so many side effects of menopause, and it affects different women differently, so the insurers can use this as a blanket ban. Menopause-related care such as hormone replacement therapy is typically not covered, and neither are costs relating to pregnancy, childbirth or fertility treatment. Existing medical conditions, even if they werent fully diagnosed prior to the policy start date, are usually excluded, as well as chronic or long-term illnesses which can't be cured such as HIV/AIDs, diabetes, epilepsy and hypertension. Mental health issues, depression and the cost of psychiatric treatment are also commonly excluded from cover, as are organ transplants, elective cosmetic surgery and experimental or unproven treatments. Different policies do provide varying level of cover so read your policy documents carefully if something is not specifically mentioned you may not be covered for it. Always check with your provider before having any treatment, otherwise you may have to cover the cost yourself. Visit link: Mariella Frostrup: '400 a month … Continue reading →

Stranger Donates Stem Cells In Hopes Of Curing New York Woman With Leukemia

Posted: Published on November 28th, 2014

CBS New York (con't) Affordable Care Act Updates: CBSNewYork.com/ACA Health News & Information: CBSNewYork.com/Health NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) A New York woman battling leukemia was especially grateful this Thanksgiving, as she credited the kindness of a total stranger with helping save her life. They found the donor, and it was just basically like a weight lifted off my shoulders, said Jeanine Walsh, 38. As CBS2s Dr. Max Gomez reported Thursday, Walsh the mother of two young children has been battling leukemia for the second time in two years. I was in total and complete shock, she said. No members of Walshs family were a match for her, but a willing donor was found through the national registry. Peripheral stem cells were collected from the donor, located in the Western U.S., earlier this week. The process took just a few hours. We attach the patient, that is the donor, to a machine. The machine takes blood form the donor, filters out the stem cells if you will, and returns the rest of the blood to the donor, said Dr. Michael Schuster, director of stem cell transplantation at Stony Brook University Hospital.

Microneedling Rejuvenation Procedure: Skinspirations Offers New SkinPen Treatment

Posted: Published on November 28th, 2014

Clearwater, FL (PRWEB) November 26, 2014 Tampa Bay cosmetic medical practice Skinspirations has added SkinPen microneedling treatments to their menu of services. Skinspirations is owned by Cynthia Elliott M.D., who has been practicing medicine for nearly 25 years. The SkinPen, which employs a process known as microneedling, is produced by Texas-based Bellus Medical. The pen-like device produces thousands of microscopic holes to stimulate collagen and the skin's natural healing process. Research shows this safe, nonsurgical cosmetic procedure is more effective than previously thought in making skin healthier and younger-looking. By stimulating the skin's natural ability to repair itself, the SkinPen breaks down scar tissue and replaces it with normal collagen. The vertical technology of the SkinPen allows the device to be used safely anywhere on the body, even close to eyes in the case of treatment of crow's feet. The SkinPen has been shown to be effective for wrinkles, thin skin, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, premature aging, scars, lax skin, sun damage, stretch marks and hair restoration. It has also been reported to reduce the size of pores. Compared to other areas of wrinkling, eye wrinkles see the quickest and most notable improvement. Scars like icepick acne and surgical scars also become … Continue reading →

World’s most expensive medicine Glybera goes on sale with $1m price tag

Posted: Published on November 27th, 2014

The western worlds first gene therapy drug is expected to go on sale in Germany next year. Photograph: Eliseo Fernandez/Reuters The western worlds first gene therapy drug is set to go on sale in Germany, with a price tag that could amount to an 870,000 cost to treat a single patient. Glybera, a treatment for the rare genetic condition lipoprotein lipase deficiency (LPLD), which clogs the blood with fat, has been developed by Dutch biotech firm UniQure and Italian marketing marketing partner Chiesi. It is undergoing an assessment of benefits by Germanys federal joint committee, which will report by April 2015. But the company is seeking a retail price of 53,000 (42,000) per phial, which equates to 1.1m (870,000) for a course of treatment for a typical LPLD patient. This price will be subject to a discount under Germanys drug pricing system. A Chiesi spokeswoman confirmed the launch price and added that a final figure would be set after the German authorities gave their verdict and negotiations are held with health insurance funds. First commercial treatments are expected in the first half of 2015, she said. UniQure, which will get a net royalty of between 23% and 30% on sales, … Continue reading →

Fin24.com | First gene therapy drug sets price record

Posted: Published on November 27th, 2014

London - The Western world's first gene therapy drug is set to go on sale in Germany with a 1.1m ($1.4m) price tag, a new record for a medicine to treat a rare disease. The sky-high cost of Glybera, from Dutch biotech firm UniQure and its unlisted Italian marketing partner Chiesi, shows how single curative therapies to fix faulty genes may upend the conventional pharmaceutical business model. After a quarter century of experiments and several setbacks, gene therapy is finally throwing a life-line to patients by inserting corrective genes into malfunctioning cells - but paying for it poses a challenge. The new drug fights an ultra-rare genetic disease called lipoprotein lipase deficiency (LPLD) that clogs the blood with fat. The medicine was approved in Europe two years ago but its launch was delayed to allow for the collection of six-year follow-up data on its benefits. Now Chiesi has filed a pricing dossier with Germany's Federal Joint Committee, or G-BA, which will issue an assessment of the drug's benefits by the end of April 2015. The company is seeking a retail price of 53 000 per vial, or 43 870 ex-factory. That equates to 1.11m for an typical LPLD patient, averaging … Continue reading →
