Open Enrollment is the period when people can enroll in a health insurance plan. This year, the Open Enrollment Period for Medicare runs from October 15, 2017 to December 7, 2017. The Open Enrollment Period for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Marketplace for 2018 runs from November 1, 2017 to December 15, 2017.
When you decide how to get your Medicare coverage, you might choose a Medicare Advantage Plan (Part C) and/or Medicare prescription drug coverage (Part D). There are specific times when you can sign up for these plans, or make changes to coverage you already have. You don’t need to sign up for Medicare each year. However, each year you’ll have a chance to review your coverage and change plans.
If you don’t have health insurance through a job, Medicare, Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), or another source that provides qualifying health coverage, the Marketplace can help you get covered. Starting November 1, you can log in to HealthCare.gov, fill out an application, and enroll in a 2018 Marketplace health plan.

This October, Shawnee Health Care is proud to participate in National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Breast cancer is the second most common kind of cancer in women. About 1 in 8 women born today in the United States will get breast cancer at some point. The good news is that most women can survive breast cancer if it’s found and treated early.
If you are a woman age 40 to 49, talk with your doctor about when to start getting mammograms and how often to get them. If you are a woman age 50 to 74, be sure to get a mammogram every 2 years. You may also choose to get them more often. Talk to a doctor about your risk for breast cancer, especially if a close family member of yours had breast or ovarian cancer. Together, you and your doctor can decide what is best for you.
Regular high-quality screening mammograms and clinical breast exams are the most sensitive ways to screen for breast cancer. Insurance plans governed by the federal Affordable Care Act must cover screening mammography as a preventive benefit every 1–2 years for women age 40 and over without requiring copayments, coinsurance, or deductibles. Shawnee Health Service Navigators are available to help you understand things like Essential Health Benefits and how these will help improve your health. If you do not have health insurance, Navigators can help you get coverage during Open Enrollment beginning November 1.
In addition, be sure to get your well-woman exam every year. Use this visit to talk with your doctor or nurse about important screenings and services to help you stay healthy. To make your well-woman exam appointment with Shawnee Health Care, OB/GYN, call (618) 519-9200.
Supporting the fighters, admiring the survivors, honoring the taken, and never, ever giving up hope.

Shawnee Health Service is pleased to announce the expansion of oral health services at Shawnee Health Care, Dental in Marion. This expansion is funded in part by the Illinois Children’s Healthcare Foundation. The goal of this planned expansion is to create additional access for children to a dental home. The planned expansion will add 1200 square feet to the existing building, adding five additional dental exam rooms to the current eight exam rooms. Along with this expansion will come a large clean/dirty work room and a larger patient waiting area. Construction began November 1, 2016 and expected completion is February 2017.
This new construction project funded by the HRSA Health Infrastructure Investment Program, will provide for the addition of a third building on the Lewis Lane property. Psychiatry will be relocating from Wall Street, resulting in a single location where a patient can seek comprehensive health care for general medicine, dental, and mental health needs. We will also relocate Shawnee Health Care, Same Day into the new construction proposed. This approximately 5,000 square foot new building construction project will begin the first of November with completion in June 2017.
After relocating Shawnee Health Care, Same Day into this new construction, we will hire a new primary care provider to work in the vacated space.
