I saw this on KNRV New 4, one of my Reno local channels. What a great update! I am thrilled to hear this news of Medicare services being approved for Alzheimer's patients in Reno, Nevada. Great job. More can be done, but this is a great next step. Doctors and nurses will be reimbursed for sitting down with patients and there families to go over services for their loved ones. 41,000 people are living with Alzheimer's in Nevada right now.
Medical Services help Alzheimer's patients
By: Alexandria Cannito
RENO, Nev. (News 4 & Fox 11) — As of January 1st, Centers for Medicare Services approved
new medical services for Alzheimer's patients.
Families living with Alzheimer's
disease or Dementia will have more access to medical planning services.
If diagnosed with the disease, a
medical physician or nurse will be reimbursed to sit down with the patient, as
well as their family, to discuss non-medical options. They will also discuss
local resources that are available.
The
Alzheimer's Association offers resources around the clock.http://www.alz.org/norcal/
