Blue Sky Buzz: Shanghai Hopes...
With only a couple days to go before the Mini-Con, I thought it was time to address a few things...
I know that several sites have reported on several rumors about Shanghai Disneyland. Blue Sky has been relatively quite on the subject lately. Part of that is having to deal with the real world and the limits of time I have. The other part is that I promised my Bothans not to speak about certain thing until the fall. I've also only spoke to them a few times in the past several months. Tom Staggs is a very good leader, that apparently understands the workings of Imagineering better than Jay Rasulo ever could. And he's also good at stopping leaks. But from what I've heard, I'm slowly becoming a fan of the direction he is headed. Staggs is a business man first, but he's someone that seems to get what most bean counters don't. And having him in charge of the parks could offer great opportunities ahead. Time will tell, but I think the Walt Disney Company is a world away from where it was a decade ago. And I clearly think he is the obvious candidate to replace Bob Iger when he decides to step down. Which I hope he realizes in his tenure before Eisner did.
That said, lets move on to Asia:
First off, the rumors that you've heard about a TRON attraction are true. It will take the place of Space Mountain in this sixth Magic Kingdom styled park. It is the giant white dome you see in that overview artwork piece the company released when they officially announced the resort a while back. It will be enclosed in darkness so that you won't see the exposed beams that shoot the lightcycle-type vehicles through the world of Tron (And yes, like the websites are saying, it is based on the Vekoma Motobike System designs).
As we were the first to break this, yes the water attraction that we mentioned is called the "Lost World River Rapids" and it is the mountain that you see in that artwork that was released (you did click on the link to "The Lost World" novel right?). I was able to tease what it was, but I wasn't able to reveal the name. Now that it's out, I can say that the stories are correct and there is more. Remember when Bob Iger mentioned that this park will be uniquely Chinese? Well, that's one of the reasons this attraction was approved. China is home to the largest collection of dinosaur finds in the world and the Mouse wants to play this up. The ride itself will be influenced by the GRR attraction that we have here in California, but it will be different. First off, it will have dinosaur audio-animatronics on it. Unless they make budget cuts, like happened on GRR, which have twice ended the inclusion of AA's, then you can expect a prehistoric experience. Also, the rockwork is very beautiful and extravagant. It is also expensive and over budget in design. Let's hope that the project isn't downscaled because the design is quite lovely and will become an instant classic. Please don't cut the beauty simply because of the cost overruns, Mr. Staggs.
Some people have noticed that Mayan temple over in the Adventureland area and have supposed that it is a Indiana Jones attraction. I can confirm that it is not. As of now, there are no plans to include the Man in the Hat on opening day. Things could change, but the designs of this attraction are not based on the Lucasfilm property. What it is, I can't say at this time, but wanted to tell you what it's not.
I know that sites are starting to report that the area will include a new "Pirates of the Caribbean" attraction with elements based on the designs of the attraction that was proposed for Hong Kong Disneyland. I can't confirm this, but there was/will be a POTC stunt show similar to the Indiana Jones one at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Whether this to be done in conjunction with or in place of the attraction, I'm not sure. As always, time will tell, and maybe we'll find out in not too much time.
There will be no Frontierland as of my last talks with the Bothans. Not that it hasn't been mentioned, but the plans for anything related to something that would go in such an area, would be placed in another land. While Japanese don't have any conception of what a "frontier" is, the Chinese experience with that term is known and considered far more negative. Hence the decision to not have a land named for it. In truth, Shanghai itself is the true Frontierland; wild, untamed and full of energy.
Just like HKDL has a variation of the Haunted Mansion, the Shanghai park will have variations on classic Disney attractions. In this case, the "Jungle Cruise" will be part of the park when it opens up in 2015/16, albeit with the same kind of variations that you see between the original Haunted Mansion and Mystic Manor. But it will be classic WDI from the designs I know of.
Over in Fantasyland, the "Seven Dwarfs Mine Coaster" is a go. This appears to be a clone of the one being built in the Extreme Expansion of WDW's Fantasyland. Another attraction that will be found in this land that is not in China's other Disney park is "Peter Pan" and a variation of the classic "Winnie the Pooh" ride. Plans are evolving and discussions are ongoing as to which other attractions are to be included. Expect at least one, possibly two more to join these on opening day.
That slow flume ride beneath the castle is also true as well. But, while some sites have reported that it will go throughout the entire park, it will actually only travel around Fantasyland. But it will be a beautiful ride through that popular land. The experience you get will be one of an enveloping fairytale, but done with the Imagineer's golden touch.
Disney and it's Imagineers have had a difficult time adjusting to Chinese culture and their way of doing things. It is a learning experience and a frustrating one at times. The way that things are constructed and the guidelines that China uses are not what WDI expects and it has been a challenge dealing with the way things are done in the Middle Kingdom, and Shanghai in particular. Let's just say the tools they use, figuratively and literally are different than what Glendale is used to working with.
There will be plans and models shown at the D23 Expo, but I wouldn't expect everything or most of what has been revealed here to debut. Unless Staggs changes the initial plans then we can really expect an overview with some minor surprises. But we'll have to wait for that big, beautiful tomorrow to find out.
Because tomorrow is only a tomorrow away...

I hope they use the Tokyo version of Winnie the Pooh instead of the Orlando one!
Great update, Honor! - August 17, 2011 at 11:46 AM
Yeah, I've heard that the safety standards that the Chinese are using Disney is not used to. They are driving the execs and Imagineers batty!
- August 17, 2011 at 11:53 AM
I hope they don't cut the budget for Lost World River Run, it sounds really fun. Now if they'll just put some cool AA's of Grizzlies and the like on GRR!
- August 17, 2011 at 12:26 PM
Lost World River Rapids? What a lame name...
And Pooh is the only Fantasyland darkride in HKDL, how could you forget that Honor?! ;-)
The rest sounds really good, this is so exciting, the Tron ride alone makes me want to visit this park!!! - August 17, 2011 at 12:56 PM
I believe that he was saying Peter Pan would be the one not from HKDL and Pooh would be a variation of the existing attractions. Not that both were not in Hong Kong.
- August 17, 2011 at 1:12 PM
Lost World River Rapid sounds lame? I don't think so. The Lost World sounds great and the description of the mountain sounds like it could be fun as well.
- August 17, 2011 at 1:14 PM
From what I hear about Staggs whittling down the five lands (it was really four, not five. There never was a Frontierland planned), to three lands, it sounds like Adventureland, Fantasyland and Tomorrowland. This is the same layout as HKDL. Which I have no problem with depending on the number of attractions and the attractions themselves.
This line-up looks promising. - August 17, 2011 at 1:57 PM

I hope they do put in the Pirates ride from HKDL, it was awesome and a mistake for the local government to reject it.
- August 17, 2011 at 3:28 PM
A stunt show for Pirates? Really?? REALLY???
- August 17, 2011 at 3:30 PM
I hope they approve that Tron ride to replace Innoventions in Anaheim. Because the R & D is already paid for, it seems like a no brainer.
- August 17, 2011 at 4:43 PM
Wait till you see the carousel developed for the gardens in front of the castle.
- August 17, 2011 at 5:38 PM
Who cares? It´s in Shanghai; as far as I´m concerned, it might as well be on the moon...
- August 18, 2011 at 5:01 AM
I'll bet 5 Disney Dollars that Honor's comment "Because tomorrow is only a tomorrow away" is a serious D23 hint and not just a continuation of the Big Beautiful Tomorrow reference.
- August 18, 2011 at 9:09 AM
"Imagineer's golden touch"??? You're joking, right? Nothing "golden" has come from WDI in at least 15 years.
This is typical disney propoganda: Design something that appears to be good; hard sell it as something great and amazing and wonderful. Employ unqualified, uncreative "talent" because they are the brothers, neices, sons and daughters of ourselves or our wall street cronies. Confirm that management and bean-counters have creative signatory approval over said oproject. Make it crappy by cutting corners at every turn of actual development. Over compensate by spending tons of cash marketing as something good and magical with our bloated PR machine. After we've oversold to our already numb and brain dead fanbase, suck the cash out of their pockets with out outrageously inflated prices. Then we will pat ourselves on the back for our "golden touch".
Disney's competitors in China and Universal are going to faciliate the diseased disney company's death by simply allowing disney to conduct business as usual until it whithers and dies or crushes itself to death from its own top-heavy approach to "creativity". - August 18, 2011 at 10:35 AM
Bitter are we? I think it's a bit harsh to say the last 15 years has been devoid of creativity. Guess you've never ridden "Expedition Everest", or "Mission Space", or "Toy Story Mania", or...
- August 18, 2011 at 12:54 PM
I hope the hint "Because tomorrow is only a tomorrow away..." is in reference to Disneyland's Tomorrowland. That would be really neat.

I miss the blue sky buzz's that had to do with the parks here in america.
- August 18, 2011 at 1:20 PM
I have ridden ALL of the attractions at ALL of the American parks including Everest, Mania and Space and felt that they were ALL lacking the attention to detail, surprises and originality that was synonymous with the disney parks in the years prior to Frank Wells untimely death. Furthermore, EVERY time I have visited ANY of the parks in the last ten years, I always left disappointed by the glaring lack of new creativity and park maintenance; left frustrated by the lack of restraint as evidenced by the hoards of guests crammed into the park w/o regard to the guests already there (all for more cash); left angered by the lack of consideration towards the guests by the CM's and horrified by the arrogance of guest relations and/or event services for their blatant disregard for the customers, fans and guests. The only art they have mastered in the last two decades is manipulating the fanbase to squeeze more money out of them and offering nothing in return.
You know I'm right.
It is ALWAYS a regrettable experience and this former fan never visits the parks anymore or sees any of the bland, monotonous and unoriginal movies. I am also dedicated to changing the perception that disney has any value in any of their offerings and I will not stop until I have succeeded. - August 18, 2011 at 5:26 PM
Ok this sounds like fun and all, BUT when in the hell am I going to make it all the way there. I live in Chicago.... so it will be a long time before I see this. And what in the world is the American parks going to get? I just came back from WDW, and besides Disney Hollywood, all the parks there are lame and boring. Epcot needs a update really bad. MK needs a lot more to do and before you say it, come on its only one more new attraction more in the end when Fantasyland is done. WDW needs help and it needs it asap. Disney does not stay loyal to its loyal fans. They rather leave everything the way it is here in the states, and fight the differences in China to give the a brand new MK with everything new and exciting while everything rots here. I'm sorry , but in my eyes Universal Orlando is kicking WDW's booty right now.

WIGGINS????? Loser lol, wasting your life by complaining about something you hate.
Go get a girl friend. Or off yourself. Either one is good.
Speaking of micechat. Honor, do you do anything involving D23? I noticed the freaks at micechat have their owns disney guests and legends. Is it not sort of breaching some expo grounds by having your own 'meet and greet' with Disney legends in your exposition booth and not through the official show? Seems to me like MC is being their douchey selves and wanting the expo to be about them as much as they can...
After all, NO other website exists except MC. They now even remove references to other websites on their forums.
What a bunch of psychotic douchebabies. - August 19, 2011 at 12:16 PM

I have to ask, have you been to Tokyo Disney Resort?
Tokyo Disney Seas is the most creative and visually stunning theme park on the planet. It is pristine and the park maintenance is of the highest standard, as is Tokyo Disneyland. The cast members (CM) at the Resort are (in my experiences) extremely helpful and respectful; I do agree though that the parks have been crowded, though I still enjoyed walking around the parks, enjoying the beautiful architecture, even if the rides have long queues.
Again have you visited Hong Kong Disneyland? I agree that the park, in virtually all respects, is the same as other Disneyland theme parks around the globe. Again, however, the park maintenance and cast members are of a high standard, expected from a global service industry.
Disneyland Paris is once again another example of the Imagineers' ability to create visually beautiful locations of 'Yesterday, Tomorrow and Fantasy'...agreed that maintained and cast members are however below what is to be expected from a Disney Resort.
I cannot comment on Disneyland California, because I have as yet been there. However, Walt Disney World (WDW) is a metropolis of attractions and entertainment that no other single private company in the world rivals. Agreed, that new attractions at WDW are few and far between, however, Disney is now a global business and WDW has seen a large amount of investment over the years, and thus there can be periods of less new activity as they invest elsewhere. After all, they are the most popular theme park complex, so they must be doing something right! Service wise, through my personal experience, WDW CM have been very respectful and helpful albeit not as much as Tokyo or Hong Kong.
I feel sorry for you that you can longer see the 'magic' that Disney Parks create for millions throughout the world. However, everyone is allowed there own opinion...and hopefully one day in the future they create something that in turn creates a spark of childhood happiness in you.

'They rather leave everything the way it is here in the states,'...I have to somewhat disagree with your statement...they have invested well of a billion dollar into Disney California Adventure theme park, have invested a huge sum of money into a new resort in Hawaii and have launched a brand new Cruise ship in 2011 (the Disney Dream) and are building another for 2012 (The Disney Fantasy).
On top of these projects, In Disneyland California Resort, they are redesigning Main Street USA, creating a new area in Fantasyland, re-imagineering the Disneyland Hotel and have recently opened Star Tours 2.Finally, WDW they are also expanding Disney's Grand Floridian Resort.
So, I believe, they are investing a lot into the USA section of Disney Parks and Resorts and in an ever changing and globalising world Disney need to break into new markets such as China, after all it is a private organisation, thus its main objectives (I expect) are to make money and increase its brand power. Also, though, by bringing Mickey Mouse and their famous theme parks to China it allows more children around the world to hopefully get the same great magically feeling as children have in USA since the 1950's.
Feel free to comment on my thoughts. Thanks - August 20, 2011 at 8:55 AM

Seriouslly....They are adding a pool with slides to the outdated Disneyland Hotel. The hotel needed a vast makeover. The rooms were horrible and old. The main street expansion is a joke. Its essential another meet n greet. They need to expand WDW with some new rides. Magic Kingdom is lacking Matterhorn, Finding Nemo, Indy, Mr. Toad, Story Book, Alice, Pinnocio, etc.
The new snow white train ride and meet n greet is a complete joke. No wonder why Universal is doing so well. - August 22, 2011 at 12:04 AM
Anonymous at August 19, 2011 12:16 PM, is that the best you can do? BTW- your comment herein indicate that you must be a Justin Beiber fan with poor writing skills. Umm... go back to school and show you are capable of learning something, "douchebaby".
Yen: No, I have not been to TDS. However I am aware of the park's superiority over the Disney owned parks. But I also happen to know (first-hand) that the reason why the Tokyo parks are so much better is because OLC demands that their parks be designed and built to the highest possible standards. Even when WDC actually attempts to encourage them to cut corners, the OLC refuses. The japanese have FAR more cultural integrity than we do and it is reflected in the parks and elsewhere. But they also know that if you short-change your customers, you will lose those customers.
People are beginning to realize how the WDC is taking advantage of them and will soon grow as fed-up as I have. Changes are coming and mouschwitz is going to start paying the price for their greed and arrogance - August 22, 2011 at 10:25 AM

MC/MA sells books, trips, everything in big numbers. Look at how busy their booth was compared to the others.
Former NFFC booth also had a few legends too.

this sound crap, answer this question for me, do you think an outdoor rapid ride is a interesting ,highly themed, original and distinctly Chinese ride? and fantasyland doesn't sound like there will be enough attractions and what about classic attractions like haunted mansion, is this your way of telling me that shanghai disneyland is going to be crap?
- October 18, 2011 at 6:10 PM
by the way, i'm sure you know that china is an economic powerhouse of the world right now, do you think they will allow a budget cut on a ride? don't forget they are investing heavily in this project! sometimes i think you westerners don't understand about china at all.you know after reading this post i'm pretty angry. and i hope some of what you said are rumors,(i think they are since you are not offical) just letting you know.

I ask them to take a poem
and hold it up to the light
like a color slide
or press an ear against its hive.
I say drop a mouse into a poem
and watch him probe his way out,
or walk inside the poem's room
and feel the walls for a light switch.
I want them to waterski
across the surface of a poem
waving at the author's name on the shore.
But all they want to do
is tie the poem to a chair with rope
and torture a confession out of it.
They begin beating it with a hose
to find out what it really means.
– Billy Collins

What is an IRS Tax Audit?
The IRS has several methods to ensure that taxpayers are following both federal and state tax laws through their financial records. One of the methods they use is a tax audit, where they will review the financial statements of a taxpayer or a business.
Before a tax audit is done, the person will be notified through mail or other channels that they will be under a tax audit. The IRS will then conduct the audit through mail or in person, asking you key questions about your taxes and other financial information. If they do an in-person audit, it could be done in your home, business location, or at an IRS office.
It is important that you get all your financial documents ready when you receive your IRS notice for audit.

MARVELous Engineering Using LEGO® Materials
Grades: 3 to 5
LEGO Builders Assemble! We need you to come join our experienced Play-Well Instructors to save the world. We will use LEGO to build our strongest Avengers to defeat Thanos, help Thor retrieve Mjolnir, swing through the city with Spider-man, and tell Hulk to....Smash! Our journey will take us to battles on this world and beyond; are you up to the challenge?
August 7th - August 11th, 2023
Day(s) | Mon-Fri |
Time | 9:00am - 12:00pm |
YMCA of San Francisco
Location | Presidio Y -- Letterman Pool map 1151 Gorgas Ave. San Francisco, CA 94129-0911 |
FULL-DAY PROGRAM: Specialty Camp LEGO STEM during one half of the day. The other part of the day is spent with the YMCA counselors, doing a wide variety of activities including sports, exploring nature, arts and crafts, and STEAM activities
Play-Well Summer Camp FAQ
What are the goals of the summer camps?
- Develop and enhance students' problem solving and critical thinking skills
- Introduce children to concepts and vocabulary of Engineering and Architecture as well as new building techniques
- Provide an opportunity to have an awesome time with a terrific and versatile building system!
What is the format of a Play-Well TEKnologies Engineering summer camp?
We typically work on 2 different engineering and architectural projects per day. Projects typically start with an introduction and short presentation by the instructor followed by a design/building assignment. Students have access to tens of thousands of LEGO® parts to use in creating their engineering projects.
Students are introduced to engineering terminology that they are encouraged to use throughout the class when identifying pieces, posing questions, or assisting each other. Instructors circulate and assist the children in realizing their project goals.
When the participants have satisfied basic requirements of a project, they are encouraged to further explore engineering applications of the principles and construction methods by inspecting, testing, modifying, and rebuilding. At the end of each class session, students are expected to dismantle their projects and put away their materials.
Will the students take anything home with them at the conclusion of the summer camp?
Unfortunately, participants don't get to take any of the LEGO® materials home with them. Rather, the focus is on gaining the understanding of what makes each project work and the building techniques to bring those creations to life.
Will Play-Well TEKnologies Engineering summer camps be a repeat for my child if they have already attended previous Play-Well summer camps and/or enrichment classes?
Our curriculums are ever evolving, and projects are also rotated seasonally to ensure that every experience, whether in camp or class, is a new one! While there are some fundamental projects or concepts that may be revisited in summer camps, our instructors offer advanced challenges and modifications for any model that will push even the most experienced LEGO® engineers to the next level. Our curriculum is flexible and adjusts to the interests and experience level of the students, and our instructors look forward to continually challenging the most advanced students to reach their full potential. We also encourage our students to communicate when they desire a new challenge that meets their building skill level. Our responsibility as instructors is to never leave any student bored or unchallenged!
Do I need to sign my child in and out?
We do ask that you sign your child in and out each day of the summer camp. To ensure the children's safety, our instructors stay in the classroom with the child until a parent/guardian is there to pick them up and sign them out. This also gives us the opportunity to get to know your family and touch base before or after class.
Can we get pictures of our child's final projects?
We encourage parents/guardians to come 30 minutes before the end of class if you would like to see your student's specific project. If you cannot come early, we suggest giving your child a device with which to take pictures at an appropriate time during camp. Play-Well is not responsible for any lost/broken devices.
Can we purchase the LEGO®® parts used in summer camps?
Unfortunately, we do not sell the LEGO® parts used in our summer camps and classes. We encourage parents to visit the Materials page on our website to learn more about some of the parts we use in our programs and where to find them for purchase.
Should my child bring a snack to summer camp?
We will take one break midway through class. We do not provide snack but encourage parents to provide a peanut-free snack for their child. For parents of children allergic to peanuts, we cannot guarantee that LEGO® pieces in our kits are completely free of peanut oils.
Do the kids go outside at all during summer camp?
Depending on the weather, we may take the group outside for our brief snack break, but otherwise our focus remains on making the most of our time with the LEGO®!

You may choose optimize the MySQL sserver at a basic level or at an advanced level.
Basic Optimization
MySQL Server can be optimized at a basic level, using the MySQL tuner script.
Download the script using the command:
wget https://github.com/major/MySQLTuner-perl/zipball/master
Now, run the commands:
unzip master
cd major-MySQLTuner*
chmod +x mysqltuner.pl
perl mysqltuner.pl
The script will check the status of MySQL and update you with the variables that you need to tweak to optimize MySQL.
Advanced Optimization
For advanced level of optimization, you must fine tune your MySQL server based on the applications and resource utilization. Below are some important system variables that need to be tweaked for normal use.
table_cache: Each time MySQL accesses a table, it stores the table in the cache. Data can be retrieved faster from frequently accessed tables if they are stored in cache.
You can check whether your system needs to have the table_cache value increased by checking the open_tables and opened_tables status variables during peak time. Use the command:
SHOW STATUS LIKE "open%tables%";
open_tables is the number of tables opened in cache, whereas opened_tables is the total number of tables open. Since MySQL supports multi-threading, several queries might be executed on the same table at the same time. So each of these queries will open a table.
Default value for table_cache is 64. If you have enough RAM available on your server, you can increase the table_cache value. This will reduce total number of tables open by moving those tables to cache.
query_cache_size: If you have a MySQL query that is being executed repeatedly by your website, MySQL can be set to cache the results of this query.
You can enable query caching by setting the server variable query_cache_type to 1 and setting the cache size in the variable query_cache_size. If either of the above is set to 0, query caching will not be enabled.
key_buffer_size: This is the size of buffer used by all the indexes. Ideally, it should be set to at least a quarter of the memory available or more.
The optimum solution is to keep the ratio as follows:
Key_reads : Key_read_requests should be 1 : 100 and Key_writes / Key_write_requests should always be less than 1.
If the Key_reads value is high compared to Key_read_requests, you need to increase key_buffer_size.
You can get the value of these variables using the command:
SHOW GLOBAL STATUS where Variable_name like "Key_%";
| Variable_name | Value |
| Key_blocks_not_flushed | 0 |
| Key_blocks_unused | 48394 |
| Key_blocks_used | 8078 |
| Key_read_requests | 973911676 |
| Key_reads | 54135 |
| Key_write_requests | 824911 |
| Key_writes | 739554 |
+————————+———–+ -
sort_buffer_size: This value improves large and complex sorts. Increase this value for faster ORDER BY or GROUP BY operations. The default value is 2MB.
Sufficient size of sort_buffer_size allows the sort operations to be performed in memory cache rather than in temp files in hard disks.
thread_cache_size: If your server has large traffic on MySQL server, then the server will create a lot of new threads at a very high rate. This may take up a lot of CPU time. When a connection disconnects, the threads are put in the cache and a new thread is taken from this cache.
If the value of the Threads_created status variable is large, you may want to increase value for the thread_cache_size system variable. The cache hit rate can be calculated using the commands:
SHOW GLOBAL STATUS where Variable_name like "Connections";
SHOW GLOBAL STATUS where Variable_name like "Threads_created";
read_rnd_buffer_size: This is used after a sort operation, to read the rows in the sorted order. If your application has a lot of queries with ORDER BY, increasing value of this variable can improve the performance. This buffer is also at a per client basis. The default value for read_rnd_buffer_size is 128K. General rule is to allot 1MB of read_rnd_buffer_size for every 1GB memory in server.
tmp_table_size: Sometimes, a temporary table needs to be created for executing a statement. This variable determines the maximum size for a temporary table in memory.
Always try to avoid temporary table creation by optimizing your query. But if it is unavoidable, make sure that the table is created in the memory. If the memory is not sufficient, a MyISAM table will be created in the disk. If a large number of tables are created in the disk, you need to increase your tmp_table_size. You can also check the status variables Created_tmp_disk_tables and Created_tmp_tables. Created_tmp_disk_tables is the number of temporary tables created on disk while executing a statement, while Created_tmp_tables is the number of in-memory tables created.
Use the commands:
SHOW GLOBAL STATUS where Variable_name like "Created_tmp_disk_tables";
SHOW GLOBAL STATUS where Variable_name like "Created_tmp_tables";

Having a health insurance policy can give you peace of mind knowing that you and your loved ones have financial backing for common or unforeseen medical circumstances. However, choosing a health plan amidst the sea of options can be daunting.
The more you know about the health insurance plans, the better you'll be able to make an informed decision, saving you money. To make your decision easier, American Health Insurance will help connect you with top insurance providers who can unravel the key differences between various options.
Find the Right Plan for Residents
of Brixey, Missouri
Finding the right health plan for you is about understanding what advantages and disadvantages each health insurance policy has and matching it with your needs.
Some of the most important factors that will affect your decision include:
- Monthly premium amount
- Out-of-pocket expenses
- Copayments
- Deductibles
- Emergency and hospital care
- Benefits such as vision and dental plans
- Prescription drug coverage
- Local doctors in the network
- Coverage for pre-existing conditions
- Health insurance coverage during travel
For a health plan to be right for you, it should accommodate your needs. If you rarely visit the doctor, then your plan should reflect that through lower monthly premiums. Similarly, if your medical needs are more constant, then you want to be covered for more, but should expect to pay higher premiums.
Your future expectations, such as upcoming life events, should also be considered. For example, if you're having a baby soon then that should be factored into your decision. Conversely, if you didn't come close to the limits of your last or current plan, you should use that information to guide you in choosing your next health insurance policy.
With the range of health insurance plans available, American Health Insurance ensures that Brixey, Missouri residents will be able to find an ideal plan to fulfill their medical needs while remaining within their budget.

Compare affordable coverage options.Health Insurance Plans
and Network Types
Health care plans available from the Health Insurance Marketplace are organized into four categories: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. These categories essentially describe how you are going to share medical costs with your provider. The quality of care, however, remains the same.
There will be differences between one Brixey provider and another but the market average for cost-sharing in these four categories are as follows:
- Bronze: You pay 40% and provider pays 60%
- Silver: You pay 30% and provider pays 70%
- Gold: You pay 20% and provider pays 80%
- Platinum: You pay 10% and provider pays 90%
Of course, each metal category comes with different benefits that stretch beyond just cost sharing. To better understand the differences between each of these health plan categories, we will look at a breakdown:
- Bronze: You will get the lowest monthly premiums but with the highest medical costs if the need should arise. With a Bronze plan, you may have to spend thousands before reaching your deductibles, or the point at which your insurance starts to pay. It's a great plan if you want to protect yourself financially for worst-case scenarios, but you will bear the cost of routine care and checkups.
- Silver: You can expect a moderate monthly premium as well as moderate costs for medical care. Deductibles tend to be lower in the Silver plan than the Bronze. Routine medical care is better covered than the Bronze level. If you are eligible for cost-sharing reductions, often referred to as "extra savings" or subsidies, you will have to choose a Silver health plan.
- Gold: A Gold plan has high monthly premiums but with low costs for medical care. The amount you'll have to pay before your insurance starts to pay - your deductibles - tend to be low. The plan has great value for money if you require frequent medical assistance.
- Platinum: With the highest premiums coupled with the lowest cost when you get care, the Platinum plan is ideal if you know that you will need frequent medical care and want most of your costs covered. It also offers the lowest deductibles out of all of the metal categories.
While these tiers can give you a general indication of what you can expect from the various plans on the Marketplace, health insurance policies from different providers will still vary. For example, some may provide free services before meeting your deductible or free preventative care.
Brixey, Missouri health insurance plans are further differentiated by network types. This is also known as the provider network and is essentially a list of health care providers that work with an insurance provider, offering you discounted services. The network types that can be found on the Marketplace include the following:
- Preferred Provider Organization (PPO): This is a network type that allows you to save costs if you use Brixey, Missouri healthcare providers that are within the insurance provider's network. You may still go outside of the network of doctors and specialists without a referral from your primary care physician (PCP). However, going outside of the network will incur expenses.
- Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs): With an HMO, you will be covered for in-network healthcare services but must get a referral from your PCP before visiting with a specialist. HMOs tend to not provide any cover or limited cover for out-of-network medical services, meaning that you'll likely have to pay the full cost yourself - except in emergencies.
- Point-of-Service (POS) Plans: A POS plan allows for more freedom because both in- and out-of-network care is covered. You'll still need a referral from your PCP before seeing a Brixey, Missouri specialist, as with an HMO. A referral is also required to have cover for out-of-network services and going out-of-network generally costs more than in-network.
- Exclusive Provider Organizations (EPOs): Coverage in this type of network is limited to healthcare providers within the network unless it's an emergency. EPOs tend to have a large network.
Generally speaking, using out-of-network emergency medical services is covered with all network types, although some may require you to pay additional costs.
ACA Health Care Policies
in Brixey
An Affordable Care Act (ACA) health insurance policy is one that adheres to the regulations and standards from the comprehensive health care reform law that was initially implemented in 2010. It may also be referred to as "Obamacare" or PPACA.
If you use an ACA health plan then you can expect a wide range of quality health care, which is detailed in the section above. ACA plans are sold on the Health Insurance Marketplace - also referred to as the Health Insurance Exchange.
Brixey, Missouri
Non-ACA Policies
It is possible to get a health plan that doesn't fall under the ACA umbrella. Insurance providers can sell various health plans outside of the Health Insurance Marketplace that can help people with a wider range of health care needs. For example, if you missed Open Enrollment or are between jobs and you are waiting for your benefits at a new job, then short-term insurance - which is non-ACA compliant - can be ideal.
The types of non-ACA policies available vary based on the insurer. For people in Brixey, Missouri the following are three types of common non-ACA policies which American Health Insurance can connect you with:
- Short-Term Insurance: Short-term insurance plans are ideal for people who need cover but have either missed the Open Enrollment period or need cover during a gap in their usual coverage. It can be considered an excellent plan for healthy people that don't expect to require a great deal of medical services.
- Limited Benefit Indemnity Insurance: This plan will generally provide a fixed amount for each medical service required, regardless of the cost of that service. There tends to be no annual deductibles with this type of plan. A limited benefit plan may, for example, pay for primary care but when it comes to other medical needs such as inpatient care, you may have far less coverage.
- Accident and Critical Illness Insurance: With these plans, you will be covered for unexpected illness or injury. It covers sudden events such as a heart attack or unexpected injuries such as from a motor vehicle collision.
There is a host of non-ACA policies that you can choose from in Brixey, Missouri. For healthy people, non-ACA plans can be an ideal solution to save money at the cost of benefits that a healthy person may never use.

Compare affordable coverage options.Health Insurance Open Enrollment
The Health Insurance Marketplace, which is where you can find ACA health plans available in Brixey, Missouri, has an Open Enrollment period once a year. During this period, you may buy a new health plan, renew an existing plan, or change your current plan to one that better suits your current and future needs. Some states may extend the open enrollment period, which usually takes place for a few weeks between November and December.
After the Open Enrollment period has elapsed for the year, the only way to apply for Marketplace plans is if you fall within the requirements for a Special Enrollment Period. For example, if you had specific life events happen such as having a baby, getting married, or if you've lost your current health cover, you may be eligible for a Special Enrollment Period.
Furthermore, certain health plans that you can get through your work may have different Open Enrollment Periods than the usual end-of-year period.
Buying Health Insurance Outside Open Enrollment
in Brixey, Missouri
Don't worry, Open Enrollment is not the only time that you can buy insurance. If you do not qualify for a Special Enrollment Period and have missed the Open Enrollment Period, or your situation and needs suits it, then you can purchase non-Marketplace insurance such as short-term insurance.
American Health Insurance can connect you with top insurance providers who will help you to find a health plan outside of Open Enrollment in the following ways:
- Through a Brixey, Missouri insurance broker or agent: Insurance agents and brokers can help you to find an ideal health plan that falls outside of the Marketplace. What you pay tends to be unaffected by the use of an agent or broker since they are paid by the insurance company.
- Direct from an insurance company: Alternatively, you can go directly to an insurance provider and browse the insurance products that they have.
Whether through the Marketplace or outside of the Open Enrollment Period, we can help get you and your family a health plan that covers your important medical needs.

Compare affordable coverage options.Health Insurance Coverage for Dental and Vision
in Brixey, Missouri
Dental and vision coverage is important. If ignored, it's something that is likely going to end up costing you more than monthly premiums would have.
Dental and vision insurance plans can help to offset the cost of dental work, eye exams, glasses, and contact lenses among other things. While the health plan you are considering may have everything you want from affordability to service availability, health plans don't always come with dental and vision coverage.
There are two main ways to go about getting dental and vision coverage. They are as follows:
- Purchase a health plan that includes vision or dental coverage: You may be able to combine both vision and dental plans as a part of your health plan package. Of course, premiums will increase based on the additional benefits of the plan.
- You can also buy a vision or dental plan as a stand-alone product: . It's important to note that some plans on the Marketplace may require that you also purchase a health plan. As a stand-alone service, you will have to pay two separate premiums - one for your health plan and another for your dental or vision plan.
As with health plans that we discussed earlier, dental and vision plans on the marketplace fall into two categories, low and high:
- Low: Simply put, low refers to the level of coverage. You can expect low premiums but also higher deductibles and copayments, meaning that you'll spend less each month on your premiums but will have to pay more when you need vision or dental services.
- High: . This category refers to higher premiums and thus lower deductibles and copayments.
Dental coverage can be especially important for children. As such, it is required that insurers on the Marketplace offer coverage for children, even if you don't have to purchase it. For adults, dental coverage is not considered essential. Many insurance providers offer dental and vision insurance that can be purchased separately from your health insurance, even if you gain your health care benefits through your employer.
Brixey, Missouri
Individual Health Insurance Plans
Individual health insurance is important. If you are met with a sudden and significant medical bill without insurance, it could be catastrophic for your life and finances. Thankfully, American Health Insurance can connect you with top insurance providers who will help you find solutions including all of the above-mentioned Marketplace options and non-ACA plans.
If you have preexisting conditions that you wish to be covered for, then the ACA plans can provide you cover for your condition and other areas that are important to you such as vision or dental coverage.
If you are healthy with no preexisting conditions, then you may be better off purchasing a non-ACA plan as it can help you save on your monthly premiums by only getting cover for what you need, such as accident insurance.
Brixey, Missouri
Health Insurance for the Whole Family
Providing your family with a health insurance policy that can cover unforeseen and expected medical circumstances can fill you with the confidence that they are looked after.
There are different things to consider when buying insurance for the whole family. For example, children require regular checkups, dental care, and a host of other unexpected issues. These additional needs must be carefully considered before choosing the right plan.
A Bronze tier plan or a plan with a low monthly premium might seem financially sound at the time but with a family there will may be considerable medical care needed. As such, it may be better for you to opt for a plan with higher monthly premiums, such as a Gold level or similar plan. This will help you to avoid higher deductibles, copayments, and out-of-pocket expenses which can be substantial for a whole family.
A family plan may seem expensive, but you should consider what you are getting and look for ways to make the policy more affordable. The following may assist you in this endeavor:
- Lower Cost Per Person: Generally, a family health plan will end up being more affordable than buying individual insurance policies for each family member.
- Premium Tax Credits: You can save even more money if you are eligible for Premium Tax Credits when your household falls within the required bracket (100% to 400% of federal poverty level).
- CHIP Plans: There are further financial aids that can help to offset the cost of family insurance such as the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). It can provide low-cost insurance for families with children if you qualify.

Compare affordable coverage options.Group Insurance
in Brixey, Missouri
One of the main purposes of the Affordable Care Act is to ensure that health insurance is available to more people, regardless of their financial situation.
As a part of the ACA, you can reduce your cost in the following ways:
- Premium Tax Credit: This is a way that you can save on your monthly premiums. If your household's income is 1 to 4 times the federal poverty level based on your household size, then you may be eligible for cost reductions on your premiums.
- Cost Sharing Reduction (CSR): With CSR, you may be able to lower the amount you have to pay for your copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles. It will also place a cap on your out-of-pocket expenses; once reached, your insurance will cover all of your required services. Only Silver plans are eligible.
Furthermore, if you are healthy and don't expect to have to use medical services often, then you can opt for a Bronze or Silver-tier plan as it can help to reduce your monthly premiums.
Of course, in the event of significant medical needs, your copayments, deductibles, and coinsurance will be higher, and you should therefore carefully consider your situation before deciding on a plan.

It will also place a cap on your out-of-pocket expenses; once reached, your insurance will cover all of your required services. Only Silver plans are eligible.
Furthermore, if you are healthy and don't expect to have to use medical services often, then you can opt for a Bronze or Silver-tier plan as it can help to reduce your monthly premiums.
Of course, in the event of significant medical needs, your copayments, deductibles, and coinsurance will be higher, and you should therefore carefully consider your situation before deciding on a plan.
HMO vs. PPO Plans
Preferred Provider Organizations (PPOs) and Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) are similar types of networks. Both types of plans are able to provide you with discounted medical services thanks to their network of healthcare providers in Brixey, Missouri. Insurance providers negotiate with the healthcare providers and essentially pass the savings down to you.
While both plans are similar, there are differences. The differences that an HMO has includes the following:
- HMOs tend to more affordable than PPOs
- You must choose a primary care physician (PCP) from the network of providers
- In order to see a specialist, you will need to first get a referral from your PCP
- Providers outside of the network are not covered by the plan, except in emergencies
The differences that PPOs have compared to HMOs are as follows:
- While PPOs tend to cost more than HMOs, they provide greater flexibility
- You may use out-of-network providers and be covered, but an additional cost will be applied
- You do not have to choose a PCP
- To see a specialist, you do not need to be referred by your PCP - if you have one
Both plans have their own benefits. Generally speaking, PPOs are preferred if you need to have access to a greater range of providers. With an HMO, you can save more because you are taking advantage of the network's discounts.

A German law takes effect today that establishes a third gender option for parents filling out birth certificates for newborn babies. They can choose "indeterminate" if the child shows both male and female characteristics.
The parents will make that choice by leaving the boxes for male and female genders blank. The new law is meant to avoid the need to label an intersex baby as male or female before the child is old enough to decide.
The child could also opt to remain classified as intersex. German passports "will soon be allowed to have an 'X' in the gender field, according to a spokesman for the interior ministry," Agence France-Presse says.
As Deutsche Welle reports:
"The law follows a 2012 report by the German Ethics Council, which advises the government and parliament on complex ethical issues.
" 'Many people who were subjected to a 'normalizing' operation in their childhood have later felt it to have been a mutilation and would never have agreed to it as adults,' the report said.
"It described the necessity of being entered in the registry as 'female' or 'male' as being an unwarranted intrusion upon personal rights and the right to equal treatment."
According to a spokesman for the German Interior Ministry, the new law "is not adequate to fully resolve the complex problems of intersex people."
"As many as one in 2,000 people have characteristics of both sexes," the BBC reports.
Parents of those children are sometimes forced to make a quick decision on the infant's gender, in part to satisfy federal registration laws.
"Sometimes surgery is done on the baby to turn its physical characteristics as far as possible in one direction or the other," the BBC says.
While Germany is the first European nation to offer a third-sex option, several other countries have recently adopted similar approaches.
Australia began to allow citizens to identify themselves as intersex on passports and other documents this year. And in 2009, citizens of both India and Pakistan also gained new rights to identify their gender beyond male and female.

My annual New Year's Eve tradition is to reflect on all the places I visited during the year and plot out where I want to go in the New Year. 2012 was a banner travel year for my family because we put all of our things in storage for five months and traveled extensively in Europe and North America. We gorged ourselves on donuts and thought we got scammed in Western New York's Amish Country, learned how to flatfoot on Virginia's Crooked Road, were heckled and intimidated at a soccer game in Italy, and drank homemade wine with the only two residents of the village of San Michalis, on the Greek island of Syros.
For those of you who have made resolutions to hit the road in 2013, here are 12 travel experiences and destinations, most of them a little or very offbeat, that I highly recommend.
Unlike Lancaster County and other more well known Amish areas around the country, Cattaraugus County's Amish Trail is a place where you can experience Amish culture, and let's be honest here – candy and donuts – without all the tourists and kitsch. I love the Amish donuts so much that I went in January and again in July. Because there aren't many tourists in this region, you'll find that many of the Amish who live here are just as curious about you as you are about them.
11. Soak Up Colonial Era History in Marblehead, Massachusetts
I've been visiting family members in Marblehead for nearly 20 years and I never get tired of this beautifully preserved, quintessential New England town. Marblehead gets a steady trickle of day-trippers from Boston – but don't make that mistake – book a B & B in this town and dive into one of America's most historic towns for a full weekend.
10. Save The Turtles, Eat the Fish Tacos and Ride The Waves in Safe, Scenic San Pancho, Mexico
If you want a low-key beach vacation in Mexico but aren't into big resorts or large cities, look no further than San Pancho, which is only an hour from the Puerto Vallarta airport. It's about as safe as Mayberry, and you can volunteer to help preserve marine turtles, eat the best fish tacos you've ever had and surf and frolic on a huge, spectacular beach.
9. Visit Gangi, Italy's Most Charming Hill Town You've Never Heard Of
Italy is filled with enchanting hill towns, but many of them are besieged with tourists. If you want to check out a lovely hill town in Sicily's interior that hasn't changed much in centuries, check out Gangi, where you'll find everything you could want in an Italian hill town: a perfect central piazza, a medieval street plan you will get lost in, and perhaps the world's best gelato at the Seminara Bar (no relation to me).
8. Eat the Real Black Forest Ham in Historic Freiburg, Germany
Freiburg is a gorgeous, highly underrated city in Germany's Black Forest region that is a pedestrian and gourmand dream. Here in the U.S., companies can get away with calling any old ham "Black Forest ham" but in Freiburg, you can sample the real deal and you will taste the difference.
7. Discover Old Time Music on Virginia's Crooked Road
Southwest Virginia has a 253-mile music heritage trail that's a glorious little slice of Americana where you'll find terrific homespun music played by passionate locals who have Old Time Music in their blood. Don't miss venues like the Fries Theater and the Floyd Country Store and bring your dancing shoes.
6. Check Out Evita Peron's Ride at Italy's New Ferrari Museum
I'm not even a car buff, but I loved visiting the new Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena, a picture-postcard small city in Emilia-Romagna, near Parma, that doesn't get nearly as many tourists as it deserves. The museum pays tribute to the founder of Ferrari, who was born in the house next to the museum, and the automotive heritage of the Motor Valley, home to Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini, Ducati and other companies that make vehicles suitable for rap stars, professional athletes and others who like to be noticed.
5. Eat at the World's Best Greek Restaurant in San Michalis, Syros, Population:2
Syros is just a short ferry ride away from Mykonos but it gets only a tiny fraction of the tourists and I'm not sure why. It's a gorgeous little island, with a thriving port, great beaches and To Plakostroto the best Greek restaurant I've ever been to, located in a striking, end-of-the-world village where you can see six neighboring islands.
4. Experience Bluegrass Nirvana at the Rosine Barn Jamboree in Kentucky
Every Friday night from March through early December, local musicians gather to jam at an old barn and general store in Rosine, Kentucky, the tiny little town where Bill Monroe, the father of bluegrass music was born. This might be the best free music jam in the whole country and best of all, the regulars are the sweetest people you will ever meet.
3. Patmos & Samos Not Santorini and Mykonos
I'm obsessed with the Greek Isles. If I could spend my holidays in just one place anywhere in the world, it might be here. But I get a little frustrated by the fact that most Americans visit only Santorini & Mykonos. Both places are undeniably beautiful, but there are dozens of less expensive, less crowded islands that are just as nice. Patmos and Samos, in the eastern Aegean, are absolutely gorgeous and aren't as crowded or expensive. Samos is known for its wine & honey, while Patmos is home to one of the most interesting monasteries in Greece.
2. Eat an Obama Pasticciotto in Italy's Heel
The fact that Salento, a peninsula in Italy's heel, has a chocolaty, gooey desert named after President Obama is just one reason to visit this very special but relatively off-the-radar part of Italy. Lecce is a baroque dream, a lively place with a great passegiata, unforgettable food and wine, very friendly people and fine beaches in the vicinity.
1. Make Friends in Valletta, Malta
I had but one day in Valletta and I spent a big chunk of it trying to track down a retired Maltese civil servant who chided me for misrepresenting the country at a school model U.N. in 1986, but I saw enough of this city to want more. Valletta is a heartbreakingly picturesque port, with gently decaying sandstone buildings, warm people, dramatic Mediterranean vistas and artery-clogging pastizzis, which were my favorite treat of 2012.

Digging Between my finger and my thumb The squat pen rests; snug as a gun. Under my window, a clean rasping sound When the spade sinks into gravelly ground: My father, digging. I look down Till his straining rump among the flowerbeds Bends low, comes up twenty years away Stooping in rhythm through potato drills Where he was digging. The coarse boot nestled on the lug, the shaft Against the inside knee was levered firmly. He rooted out tall tops, buried the bright edge deep To scatter new potatoes that we picked, Loving their cool hardness in our hands. By God, the old man could handle a spade. Just like his old man. My grandfather cut more turf in a day Than any other man on Toner's bog. Once I carried him milk in a bottle Corked sloppily with paper. He straightened up To drink it, then fell to right away Nicking and slicing neatly, heaving sods Over his shoulder, going down and down For the good turf. Digging. The cold smell of potato mould, the squelch and slap Of soggy peat, the curt cuts of an edge Through living roots awaken in my head. But I've no spade to follow men like them. Between my finger and my thumb The squat pen rests. I'll dig with it. — Seamus Heaney

Each piece of Bridget King Jewelry has been designed and manufactured from the highest quality materials. Proper maintenance and care will preserve the beauty and shine of your jewelry. Please handle the jewelry with care and always put your jewelry on after you dress to avoid contact with perfumes, hair styling products, cosmetics and body lotion. Remove your jewelry before swimming in the ocean or chlorinated swimming pools.
We recommend you store each piece in the original Bridget King pouch or in a lined box. Our small pouches have a divider inside so you can store your earrings separately to avoid scratches.
Most of our 14K and 18K jewelry with or without diamonds can be gently cleaned with warm water and diluted mild dish soap and blot dry with a soft cloth. For South Sea Pearls and Freshwater Pearls, do not use any water or soap, only gently wipe with a soft dry cloth. Do not use any chemicals, abrasive cloths or solutions for any of the jewelry as it can damage or scratch the surface. When unsure, it is always best to take it to a professional jeweler.
Charm necklaces with multiple charms might produce a dark residue, which occurs naturally when the charms rub against each other. You can wipe each charm with a soft dry cloth. Do not clean your engraved charms with water as the darkened engravings might lighten.

We may use health information about you for your treatment purposes, to obtain payment, or for healthcare operations and other administrative purposes. We may use your information in treatment situations if we need to send or share your medical record information with professionals who are treating you. For example, a doctor treating you for an injury asks another doctor about your overall health condition. We can use and share your health information to bill and receive payment from health plans or other entities. We will give your information to your health insurance plan such as Medicare, Medicaid or other health insurance plans so it will pay for your services. Your information will be used when processing your medical records for completeness and to compare patient data as part of our efforts to continually improve our treatment methods. We may disclose your information to business associates with whom we contract to provide service on your behalf that require the use of your health information. We can use and share your health information to run our practice, improve your care and contact you when necessary. We may contact you or disclose certain parts of your health information to our associates or related foundations for fundraising purposes. You have the right to opt out of receiving such fundraising communications. We may share certain information with a person(s) you identify as a family member, relative, friend or other person that is directly involved in your care or payment for your care, or to your "Lay Caregiver" or appointed Personal Representative if you tell us who these individuals are. If it becomes necessary, we will notify these individuals about your location, general condition or death. We maintain a hospital directory listing the patients currently receiving care in our facility. In addition, we may need to disclose medical information about you to an entity assisting in disaster relief efforts so that your family can be notified about your condition, status and location. If you have a clear preference for how we share your information, talk to us. Tell us what you want us to do, and we will follow your instructions. If you are not able to tell us your preference, for example if you are unconscious, we may also share your information if we believe it is in your best interest. We may also share your information when needed to lessen a serious and imminent threat to health or safety.
We will never share your information unless you give us written permission in these cases: for marketing purposes or the sale of your information.
Under certain circumstances, we may be required to disclose your health information without your specific authorization. Examples of these disclosures are: requirements by state and federal laws to report cases of abuse, neglect, or other reasons requiring law enforcement; for public health activities; to health oversight agencies; for judicial and administrative proceedings; for death and funeral arrangements; for organ donation; for special government functions including military and veteran requests and to prevent serious threats to health or public safety such as preventing disease, helping with product recalls, and reporting adverse reactions to medications. We may also contact you after your current visit for future appointment reminders or to provide you with information regarding treatment alternatives or other health-related services that may be of benefit to you. We will obtain your written authorization for any other disclosures beyond the reasons listed above. Remember, if you do authorize us to release your information, you always have the right to revoke that authorization later. We will be happy to honor that request unless we may have already acted.
As a patient, you have rights regarding how your information can be used and disclosed. These rights include access to your health information. In most cases, you have the right to look at or receive a copy of your health information. This may take up to 30 days to prepare, and there may be a preparation fee associated with making any copies. You can ask for an accounting of disclosures. This is a list of instances in which we have disclosed your information for reasons other than treatment, payment and operations that you have not specifically authorized but that we are required to do by law (see section on how your information may be used and disclosed). We can provide you one list per year without charge; all additional requests in the same year will be subject to a nominal charge. If you believe that the information we have about you is incorrect or if important information is missing, you have the right to request that we amend or correct your paper or electronic medical records. There may be some reasons that we cannot honor your request for which you submit a statement of disagreement. You can also request that your health information be communicated to you at an alternate location or address that is different from the one we received when you were registered. If you pay for your service in full up front, you can ask that we not disclose information about your treatment to your health plan. Finally, you can request in writing that we not use or disclose your information for any reasons described in this notice except to persons involved in your care, or when required by law or in emergency situations. We are not legally required to accept such a request, but we will try to honor any reasonable requests.
Lastly, a note about health information exchanges: we may provide your health information to a health information exchange (HIE) and a patient portal called My HealthPoint in which we participate. An HIE is a health information database where other healthcare providers caring for you can access your medical information from wherever they are if they are members of the HIE. These providers may include your doctors, nursing facilities, home health agencies or other providers who care for you outside of our hospitals or practices. For example, you may be traveling and have an accident in another area of the state. If the doctor treating you is a member of the HIE in which we participate, he or she can access information about you that other providers have contributed. Accessing this additional information can help your doctors provide you with well-informed care quickly because he or she will have learned about your medical history, allergies or prescriptions from the HIE. The patient portal "My Healthpoint" is a mechanism by which you can access your health information online after your care and treatment. If you do not want your medical information to be placed in the patient portal and shared with HIE- member healthcare professionals, you can opt out by submitting the opt out form. It will take five business days for the opt out to go into effect. Note that if you opt out, providers may not have the most recent information about you which may affect your care. You can always opt in at a later date by revoking the opt out form in writing.
