SUMMARY: In this episode of WXXV’s Expert Talk, host Michelle Eubank welcomes Danielle Gillery from Senior Medicare Patrol to discuss telehealth, which gained prominence during the COVID pandemic. Telehealth allows patients to consult with doctors via video calls rather than in person. However, telehealth fraud occurs when individuals are billed for services from providers they’ve never interacted with, such as cases where nurses, rather than doctors, diagnose readings. Gillery advises viewers who suspect fraud to contact Medicare or the Senior Medicare Patrol for assistance. The organization provides resources to help resolve billing issues and combat scams.
SUMMARY: The St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway supports families like Charlie’s, who benefited from the hospital’s free treatment for bone cancer. In 2020, after Charlie injured his shoulder, a specialist at St. Jude diagnosed him with Ewing sarcoma, leading to 14 rounds of chemotherapy and a limb-sparing surgery. The treatment, costing $2 million, was entirely free for the family, including housing, gas, and food. Now 15, Charlie helps raise millions for St. Jude and continues regular check-ups. The Dream Home Giveaway not only offers a chance to win a house but also supports the life-saving work at St. Jude.
Tickets for the home in Gulfport are $100, and proceeds benefit the St. Jude’s Children Hospital.
