Medical insurance coverage an issue for Las Vegas events

Monday, January 25th, 2010

First, the good news: Surgeons at University Medical Center have successfully reattached the piece of skull that had been removed from bantamweight boxer Z “The Dream” Gorres, who suffered a traumatic brain injury after a November fight at Mandalay Bay’s House of Blues.Now the bad news: Last week’s intricate procedure at the publicly funded hospital, combined with more than two months of around-the-clock nursing care and painstaking rehabilitation work by a team of physical therapists, has driven the medical expenses of the financially strapped Gorres to nearly $600,000. It’s a bill that Southern Nevada taxpayers must largely pick up, because state law requires promoters to put up only $50,000 worth of medical insurance for each fighter in the ring.The consequences of the Filipino boxer’s brain injury have prompted elected officials and the Nevada Athletic Commission to work toward crafting a solution that keeps taxpayers off the hook for the medical care of professional boxers.But Las Vegas is home to lots of different events, and some are very risky. Could Clark County taxpayers end up footing the bill when other athletes or entertainers are hurt when performing here?”We probably have more big events than any other city in the country,” said Dr. Dale Carrison, head of the emergency department at UMC and its chief of staff. “As everyone knows, Las Vegas is a magnet for that sort of thing. And if someone does get badly hurt, UMC’s trauma center generally takes care of them.”NASCAR, National Finals Rodeo, Cirque du Soleil, daredevil stunts by the likes of the late Evel Knievel, the Las Vegas Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon, National Hot Rod Association drag racing, championship boxing and mixed martial arts — these are just some of the major events held in Las Vegas.A survey of medical insurance coverage held by individuals who engage in events or performances where there is risk of injury — the kind of events that thrill both live and TV audiences — has found that coverage can range from nothing to 100 percent.Bill Rundle, a longtime promoter of Knievel, said last week that the motorcycle daredevil “who broke every bone in his body” generally couldn’t get medical insurance for his stunts because “they were too dangerous.”"No one would write him a policy for something where there was a good chance he wouldn’t make it. It’s that way with most people who do those kind of things.”Rundle also has promoted some stunts performed by Knievel’s son, Robbie, “and getting insurance was always a problem for him, too.”Robert Zirkelbach, a spokesman for America’s Health Insurance Plans, a trade association for 1,300 companies, said it would not be uncommon for an insurance company to refuse to cover a daredevil, or to offer medical coverage at such a high premium that it would be difficult to afford.Attempts to reach contemporary daredevil Robbie Maddison, whose successful motorcycle jump at the Arc de Triomphe at Paris Las Vegas wowed crowds on New Year’s Eve 2009, were unsuccessful. Maddison has suffered a number of serious injuries in stunts around the world.Both Rundle and Zirkelbach said community leaders should be aware of the possible financial consequences should a daredevil be injured during a stunt in their community.It was a 1967 stunt at Caesars Palace, Rundle said, that helped cement Evel Knievel’s reputation as a performer who would risk his life to entertain an audience. When Knievel attempted to clear the casino’s fountains on his bike, he took a nosedive that landed him in Southern Nevada Memorial Hospital — later named UMC — for several weeks with multiple pelvic fractures.”That was early in his career, and he didn’t have money to pay his medical bill,” said Rundle, who talked on the phone from the Mayo Clinic in Arizona where he is being treated for cancer. “I think there were a lot of medical bills he walked away from until he was making good money. Then he had enough to pay them out of his pocket.”In 1974, the city manager in Carson City said police would arrest Knievel if he reappeared in the state because he didn’t pay a hospital bill there that he incurred in 1968. Knievel ended up in a Reno hospital for 22 days after he unsuccessfully attempted to jump 16 automobiles on his motorcycle.A collection agency representing Southern Nevada Memorial finally caught up with Knievel in the 1970s, the decade when he netted more than $6 million for his failed Snake River Canyon jump.The Review-Journal reported that Knievel had “rolled up” a bill of $2,249.51 for his 1967 hospital stay in Las Vegas.”The cost of medicine has gone up over the years,” UMC’s Carrison said.EVOLUTION OF INSURANCEAlthough daredevils have a difficult time getting insurance, NASCAR drivers don’t.Jim Hunter, spokesman for the stock car motor racing giant that has a race scheduled in Las Vegas next month, said each driver and crew member now has a medical insurance policy of slightly more than $1 million.”Even that may not be enough if something really terrible happens,” Hunter said in a phone call Thursday from Daytona Beach, Fla.In 60 years, Hunter said, medical coverage has grown from $2,000 to its present $1,000,050.”As the sport grew, there was more at stake,” said the 70-year-old Hunter, who is currently undergoing treatment for lung cancer. “At first, guys were racing as a hobby. They weren’t making a living out of it.”Hunter said the 2001 death of driver Dale Earnhardt at the Daytona Speedway energized safety efforts by NASCAR, including collision absorbing walls and new head and neck restraints for drivers.”But no matter what we do, accidents can and will happen and our medical insurance reflects that,” he said.Like NASCAR, medical insurance for participants in the National Finals Rodeo has dramatically increased over the years.Jerry Ford, who has written coverage for the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association for decades, notes that the present coverage of $250,000 is a huge jump from “where we started years ago.”"When we first started in the ’70s, the maximum limit was $3,000,” Ford said. “It wasn’t until the late ’90s that we got limits above $20,000.”Since that time, he said, there have been only 10 or 12 performers who “maxxed out” their medical coverage.One rodeo performer who Ford is certain did that in Las Vegas was bull rider Tuff Hedeman in 1995. Participating in the Professional Bull Riders World Championship finals, Hedeman was bucked off by the bull Bodacious and suffered severe facial injuries.”I was the first doctor there,” Carrison said. “It was awful. He ended up needing 11 plates in his face.”Hedeman stayed only a few days in the hospital after his plastic surgery.”There was never any question about his paying the bill,” Carrison said. “I’m sure I would have heard about it.”Both Carrison and Ford said rodeo participants hold fundraising rodeos to pay off such bills.Don Andrews, who was part of the Justin Sports Medical team at rodeos for years, said, “PRCA cowboys don’t walk away from bills. They get together and pay them off.”Ford said he would not be surprised if bull riders suffer catastrophic brain injuries similar to a boxer’s. “Unfortunately, head injuries happen frequently.”The most tragic bull riding incident in Las Vegas occurred in December 1994 when rider Brent Thurman was bucked off a bull. The huge animal, Red Wolf, stepped on the back of his neck.Thurman suffered facial and cranial fractures and massive internal bleeding. He was treated at UMC. Like Gorres, the boxer at the hospital now, Thurman’s brain swelled. After spending six days in a coma, the 25-year-old Thurman died.PAYING THE PRICEMany boxers have seen their careers end in Las Vegas.From 1995 to 2005, 10 fighters sustained career-ending brain injuries in Nevada, with two boxers, Leavander Johnson and Martin Sanchez Jr. both dying from subdural hematomas, the same brain injury Gorres sustained.Because of federal privacy laws, UMC officials are unable to release the medical records of fighters, athletes or entertainers to whom they gave care. Gorres’ wife gave UMC permission to release her husband’s medical information to the Review-Journal. He was released from the hospital last week and is staying with friends in Las Vegas while undergoing rehabilitation.Despite the lack of such information, UMC officials said Gorres’ case is an indication that UMC has not been reimbursed for care that could reach into the millions of dollars.While thousand of people each year are mesmerized by the beauty and grace of the Cirque du Soleil shows in Las Vegas, there’s no doubt the acrobatic performers engage in risky maneuvers.Audience members watched in horror in 2007 when two performers fell from as high as 35 feet during a “Zumanity” show at New York-New York. Both hit the stage; one performer was left in critical condition. Both were treated at UMC.But the cost for medical care for Cirque performers, according to show spokeswoman Ceres Hill, is fully covered by the organization’s insurance plan.The thousands of participants in the Las Vegas Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon basically fend for themselves when it comes to health insurance, spokeswoman Lee Haney said.Last year, Eric Reitman, a Las Vegas resident who collapsed near the end of the half marathon, died.Less serious health problems are common, Haney said.”Whenever you have more than 20,000 people involved in an event, you’re going to have some injury,” she said.Marathon participants often buy a personal insurance policy through USA Track & Field, Haney said. Though repeated phone calls to the organization were not returned, its Web site said individuals can purchase a policy that has a maximum accidental bodily injury payout of $10,000.Just how much, if any, medical coverage is carried by drag racers competing in the National Hot Rod Association events seen frequently at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway is unknown.”That’s not something we want to divulge,” association spokesman Anthony Vestal said.Community leaders should make sure they know how much medical insurance coverage is carried by performers in risky events, Carrison said.Not taking action when coverage seems insufficient can be costly, he said.”We’re seeing that right now with what happened to that poor boxer.”

Why You Need Utah Health Insurance

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

When you buy Utah health insurance, you are making a purchase that will give you peace of mind as well as making a positive contribution to your health. This is because without Utah health insurance you could find yourself unable to afford the care you need when you have a major illness. Even if you are eventually able to afford that care, it may come too late if you haven’t purchased Utah health insurance in advance.

By purchasing Utah health insurance, you are also helping your future financial situation. The lack of Utah health insurance could result in such massive medical bills that you may even find yourself facing bankruptcy. It is essential therefore that you and your family take advantage of the coverage available.

Utah health insurance can be bought on either a group or individual basis. Group insurance, bought by an organization to cover its employees, requires you to pay regular premiums that keep your Utah health insurance up to date and protect you from unforeseen medical expenses. It is well worth the cost of those premiums to have the advantage of knowing you won’t be hit by crippling bills in the event of an accident or unexpected health problems. After purchasing your Utah health insurance, you can relax in the knowledge that you have taken all possible steps to guard yourself and your family from costs resulting from unexpected health issues.

If a group plan is available to you, it has the advantage of costing less than an individual plan. This is because the employer pays a proportion of the cost. In addition, under a group plan, your Utah health insurance usually has the extra benefit of covering you for pre-existing conditions without increasing the costs.

If you are self-employed, you should organize your own Utah health insurance as soon as possible. There is no benefit in waiting until you develop a medical condition before trying to purchase Utah health insurance. An insurance company is often unwilling to cover an individual with a pre-existing condition, so it doesn’t make sense to wait until a health problem arises before buying individual Utah health insurance. You need to take advantage of your good health now and purchase Utah health insurance while you can, so you will be protected against anything that happens in the future,

For some people looking to purchase Utah health insurance, there are particular advantages to short-term policies. Available through private health insurance providers, short-term policies provide individual and family coverage for periods of between one and six months. You may, for example, be between jobs or working part-time. You may have lost your coverage because of a divorce; you could be a student who is no longer covered by your parents’ policies, or you might be an early retiree. These are just some of the scenarios that would make short-term Utah health insurance a benefit for you until you can establish a more permanent plan.

Even if, for some reason, you are refused major Utah health insurance, you can take advantage of a mini-med or “defined benefit” health plan. Whether or not you have a pre-existing condition, you can purchase one of these guaranteed-issue Utah health insurance plans. Insurance companies can afford to provide such plans because the policies have limits on their coverage. These plans have the advantage of being easy to understand and are available for anyone between the ages of eighteen and sixty-five. Like other Utah health insurance plans, they have the benefit of providing affordable health protection for you and your family, no matter what your individual needs or situation may be.

Questions About Utah Home Insurance

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

Utah Home Insurance is a necessity, something every property should have. If you have a mortgage, your lender will require coverage — and if your home is mortgage-free than you should have coverage anyway.

But not all insurance coverage is alike. Policies and protections differ, and so do costs. In essence, you want the most protection for the least number of dollars.

Utah Home Insurance generally comes in standardized packages. For instance, the most basic form, HO-1, offers protections against such perils as fire, theft, and certain types of liability.

HO-2 is more comprehensive and includes protection against damage from broken pipes, the weight of ice and snow, and broken hot water heaters.

HO-3 gives more protection still: It generally includes just about everything and excludes only earth-shaking events such as earthquakes, floods, nuclear accidents, and wars.

To determine which policy is best for you, and to find out about other policies, make a list of valued possessions and the types of coverage you’d generally like to have — and then sit down with an insurance broker to review what’s included (and excluded) from each policy form and the other forms of coverage which may be available. You may find all the coverage you want in a general form, or you may determine that you need special coverage at extra cost.

Real estate brokers, attorneys, fee-only financial planners, and CPAs can recommend local Utah Home Insurance brokers. Once you have some names what questions should you ask? Here are a few to get you started:

Why should I buy Utah Home Insurance?

Are deductible required, and if so, what are they?

Yes, most homeowners forms contain deductible provisions applicable to losses occurring under Section I (dwelling, appurtenant structure, unscheduled personal property, and additional living expenses). The type and amount of deductible varies by company. Deductible provisions do not apply to Section II losses (personal liability – bodily injury and property damage – and medical payments to others). Some companies offer an optional deductible applicable only to wind or hail losses. Most offer higher deductible options such as $500 or $1,000 at a reduced premium.

What property and perils are excluded from most homeowner policies?

Most homeowner policies provide coverage that does not apply to animals, birds, fish, automobiles and business property; for loss or damage caused by flood, surface water, water which backs up through sewers or drains, earth movement, nuclear damage, war, etc. Section II coverages (personal liability and medical payments) do not apply to the operation, ownership, use, etc., of any aircraft, automobile, recreational motor vehicle, water craft powered by more than 50 horsepower motor; bodily injury or physical damage caused by an intentional act of the insured. It must be noted that these are a mere sample of property and perils not covered. A complete review of your policy is the only way to determine what property is covered and what perils are insured against. Also, there are specific limits of coverage on property insured under the homeowner’s policy such as money, securities, water craft, theft of jewelry, silverware, and/or guns.

When can an insurance company cancel my Utah Home Insurance during the policy term?

The Importance of Insurance

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

Not knowing what may happen in our lives has been a concern dating back to before health practices were actually improving our health. Those unknown factors in life can seem scary, but there are certain precautions we can take that can keep our stress levels down and our happiness up. This is, in essence, what insurance is all about. Unfortunately our country as of late has been plagued with financial troubles, due to the rough economy. As unemployment rates rise, the amount of people who are insured drops at an alarming rate. This applies more often than not to health Insurance, since this type of insurance is the most expensive and most integral in feeling assured that you will be taken care of in the event of your health being compromised in some way. The question of whether or not you can simply afford insurance will arise, but I’ll bring up a commonly used counter-question, can you afford to not have insurance?

Now, the reason you have insurance is for the transference of risk. Utah Life Insurance is a prime example here. If a family member dies and has no life insurance, this means that the family members that are left behind will have to pick up the income slack because they didn’t prepare for the worst. This has driven people out of their homes and in far worse case scenarios, into bankruptcy. What are we able to do? We can prepare for the worst, even if it never comes, it is better to be prepared than left scratching your head in wonder because you never thought it could happen to you. This is a vital yet simple step that can save your family’s future, and in no circumstance is there a good enough reason not to do it.

A recent insurance company ad on television stated that on average, an automobile accident happens in the United States every 6 seconds. Now if this statement is correct, then that means there are five and a quarter million automobile accidents per year. There is not necessarily a need to stress the importance of Utah Auto Insurance, but the fact is that there are millions of motorists out there driving uninsured. Another important reason to have auto insurance is for financial, medical, and personal protection. Auto insurance may cover such things as bodily injury, vehicular damage, and theft. It also may be able to help with the payment of medical bills, to temporarily replace income in the case of a person unable to work as a result of injury from an accident, and to assist in financially repairing or replacing damaged automobiles. Now if the person is an uninsured driver, and they find themselves involved in an accident, they have landed themselves in a financially compromising situation. For these reasons among many others, auto insurance is extremely important.

Shopping for a home can be rough; it can take months, sometimes even years. Everyone has their vision of a perfect home in which they can raise their family, feel safe and comfortable, and establish a base of operations for the everyday hustle and bustle that a family goes through. As incredibly expensive as your home purchase may seem, one or two additional purchases should be made to protect this very important asset. Now, Utah Home Insurance isn’t just a great idea, but in certain cases where home buyers are borrowing money for this large acquisition from a bank or other financial institution, it is mandatory. There are millions of homeowners in America, all of whom have heard of homeowners insurance. However, many don’t take the time to look at homeowners insurance, or look at all of the different policies that are available. Investing in a Utah Home Insurance policy you are protecting against damages caused by fire, hail, vandalism, explosions, and wind storms. Your policy will cover the costs for you and your family to eat, sleep and wash your clothes if your home is rendered inhabitable due to a catastrophe that is covered by your policy. There are many contributing factors to the availability of certain policies such as the age of the owner, location of home, value that the home is worth, and the credit rating of the owner. To be quite honest, the only thing that wouldn’t make sense is not insuring an asset as large and expensive as your home.

The importance of insurance cannot be overlooked, we’ve all seen the random things that can occur on any given day. Make sure that you and your family can feel like you’ll be taken care of in the event of a one of these unfortunate incidents. Take the initiative; protect your assets, and most importantly, protect those you care about most.

Detroit Auto Insurance – The Disadvantages of Getting the Minimum Liability Auto Insurance

Sunday, January 10th, 2010

Plenty of people are certainly aiming to get the lowest rate when it comes to Detroit auto insurance. Well, who doesn’t want lower rates? Who wants to pay too much for car insurance? As much as possible, people would like to spend less in everything especially on insurance policies.

With this reason, people came up with a lot of solutions on how they could lower their rates. They are considering every possible options and solutions. Plenty of people just choose to purchase the minimum liability auto insurance because they noticed that this is the most affordable type of insurance compared to the other types of insurance.

As we all know, the government is mandating everyone to get even the minimum liability insurance. Getting this car insurance is good because at least you have your own insurance. Maybe you are now thinking of purchasing one. But before you do that you must know that there are also some disadvantages when it comes to type of insurance. You must be aware of all of these things before you finally decide to purchase the minimum liability auto insurance so that you will not have any regrets in the end.

There are usually three types of Detroit auto insurance and those are the comprehensive auto insurance, collision, and the minimum liability auto insurance. As I have said, the advantage of the minimum among the two is that it is more affordable but when it comes to coverage the other two covered more. Obviously, the minimum liability auto insurance only covered the minimum. This means that it only has limited coverage. In case you will be involved in an accident where there are terrible damages and injuries, you must not expect the insurance to pay for all of it because it will pay only the minimum. There is a need for you to pay all the rest. If you will compute the expenses, you will discover that you will have lesser expenses if you will just purchase the collision or comprehensive insurance than the minimum liability auto insurance. At first, it seems that the minimum liability auto insurance is a great way to save a lot of money but sooner or later, when you will get yourself involved in an accident you will see the truth and that truth is that it is more practical to get the insurance policies which have bigger coverage.

If you will get insurance policies with bigger coverage, there will be no need for you to pay a lot of fines in the damages and injuries because all of those things are already covered by the insurance. Aside from saving a lot of money, you also save yourself from a lot of hassles and problems. So, if you are planning to get Detroit auto insurance, it will be wiser if you will choose the insurance with the best coverage. Now that you already know the disadvantages of purchasing the minimum liability auto insurance, I hope that you will now consider getting the other types of insurance.
