Simple Mindfulness Applications to Cultivate Joy &
Passion in Work & Life. Countless
demands and rushing about are the norm these days. We live in
stressful, chaotic times. The speed of life around us is going faster
and faster. This way of living affects our health, our relationships,
our families, and the quality of our lives. We do have the ability,
the strength, and the stability within us to meet these challenges in
a way that brings more happiness into our everyday lives. Mindfulness
is a way to access these inner resources.

It's "Women in Medicine" Month!
Each September, the AMA Women Physicians Section (WPS) honors
physicians who have offered their time, wisdom and support to advance

health issues.
Here are 10 ways you can become involved in the celebration:

Surgeon General's Opioids Mailing to Physicians
Check your mailbox over the next two weeks—there should be a letter
from U.S. Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy, MD, calling on all
physicians throughout the nation to raise awareness and further efforts
to end the opioid misuse epidemic.
Physicians are in a unique position of leadership when it comes to
this epidemic—they are on the front lines witnessing the impact every
day from emergency department overdoses to substance use disorder
treatment. The letter asks directly for physicians' help to solve and
bring an end to the opioid misuse epidemic.
"We will educate ourselves to treat pain safely and effectively," Dr.
Murthy said in the letter, suggesting physicians examine the many resources from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Guideline.
"We will screen our patients for opioid use disorder and provide or
connect them with evidence based treatment," he said. "We can shape how
the rest of the country sees addiction by talking about and treating
it as a chronic illness, not a moral failing."
Awareness can make a difference
This style of raising awareness has worked before. In 1988, U.S.
Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, MD, sent a seven-page brochure,
"Understanding AIDS," to all 107 million households in the country. The
mailing raised awareness that the AIDS epidemic affected every one and
not just a small group of Americans. The opioid epidemic the country
now faces similarly affects those of all ages, races and economic
status.
Dr. Murthy earlier this month launched TurnTheTideRx.org, where physicians can take a pledge and make a commitment to end the opioid crisis.
"Years from now, I want us to look back and know that, in the face of
a crisis that threatened our nation, it was our profession that
stepped up and led the way," he said in the letter.
Physician efforts already underway
Steven J. Stack, MD, AMA immediate-past president, in May issued an open letter to America's physicians
calling on them to take re-examine prescribing practices and help
reverse the epidemic. "We must accept and embrace our professional
responsibility to treat our patients' pain without worsening the
current crisis," he said.
The AMA Task Force to Reduce Prescription Opioid Abuse has been working to raise awareness of the crisis for almost two years. The task force put forth recommendations for physicians
to register for an use state prescription drug monitoring programs,
educate themselves on pain management and safe prescribing, support
increased access to naloxone, reduce the stigma of substance use
disorder and enhance access to comprehensive treatment. [return to top]

CHO Continues Financial Recovery, Withdraws from NH Market
After a $31 million loss in 2015, Maine-based health insurer Community Health Options (CHO) appears to be on a solid track to financial recovery. On August 31, CHO reported a second quarter 2016 loss of $3.3 million following a first quarter loss of $8.4 million. It still has reserves of over $45 million.
As reported in the Portland Press Herald, CHO had a total of 77,031
members at the end of the second quarter, down from 82,813 members at the end of the first quarter, and
up from 74,981 members at the end of 2015. As of June 30, 2016, total net assets were $146.4 million and total net liabilities were $100.8 million.
Because of a very successful 2014, CHO filed for a rate increase of less than 1
percent early in 2015, for the calendar year 2016. Due to significant increases in both membership and utilization, along with significantly increased costs for prescription drugs, those rates proved to be seriously inadequate. In the spring of 2016 CHO
sought a rate increase of 25.5 percent for 2017, an increase approved by the Maine Bureau of Insurance on August 16, 2016. Many of CHO's insureds benefit from rate subsidies under the Affordable Care Act. In addition, the company. It also stopped accepting individual enrollments in December 2015. Small and large group policies will remain in effect until their next
renewal date. Many of those policies have policy years which do not
coincide with the calendar year.
On September 1st CHO announced it will be withdrawing from New Hampshire as of January 1, 2017 to focus on its core Maine business. Existing individual policies will remain in effect through the end of 2016 but will not be renewed for 2017. Individuals currently insured by CHO will have until December 31, 2016 to enroll in a new plan.
New Hampshire memberships currently constitute 15% of CHO's business. The move has been approved by the Maine Bureau of Insurance, the New Hampshire Insurance Department, and CMS. CHO will retain its license and its provider contracts in New Hampshire.
Community Health Options (Health Options) is a
non-profit, Member-led health plan providing comprehensive, Member-focused
health insurance benefits for individuals, families, and businesses. Health
Options is a Consumer Operated and Oriented Plan (CO-OP) licensed in Maine and
New Hampshire that is dedicated to providing affordable, high-quality health
benefits through productive partnerships with Members, businesses, and a broad
network of providers. For more information about Health Options, visit the
