Makim sense of arthritis treatments Assistance with Medicare questions available Selecting the most cost- effective way to treat os- teoarthritis (OA), can be a problem or dilemma for many consumers. It is also a concern for professionals in the aging field. Affecting more than 20.7 million Americans, OA has a sizable impact on the na- tion's economy, resulting in seven million doctor's visits a year. As a result, the Arthritis Foundation re- ports that treating OA and other forms of arthritis costs the economy almost $125 billion a year, includ- ing medical expenses and lost productivity. To lower these costs, the American College of Rheumatology and the American Pain Society have issued guidelines for the treatment of OA, advis- ing those with mild to moderate OA to start with inexpensive treatment op- tions such as exercise and an over-the-counter pain reliever like aceta- minophen. These organizations con- cluded that acetaminophen provides the same relief of symptoms as the more ex- pensive prescription arthri- A I ARREST REPORTS Editor's note: The Jasper News prints the entire. ar- rest record each week.

Ac- etaminophen will not inter- fere with most over-the- counter and prescription medications consumers may be taking for health problems other than OA. Despite these recommen- dations, a new survey finds that most consumers don't know how to determine the most cost-effective OA treatments. Conducted by Harris Interactive for the Alliance for Aging Re- search, this poll of 1,000 Americans aged 18 and over finds that 68 percent believe that deciding which treatments are most cost-ef- fective is difficult and as many as 29 percent say that making this decision is ex- tremely difficult. Because of this unease, the survey finds that many consumers are looking for help in talking to their doc- tor about managing their OA symptoms. Specifical- ly, three-quarters of the public say they would be willing to talk to their doc- tor about the costs of differ- ent medications if they had ty Sheriff's Office WSPD White Springs Police Department Jan. 29, Alberto S.

In response to these find- ings, the Alliance for Aging research has developed a new tool for consumers, How-To Guide For Talking To Your Doctor About Os- teoarthritis, that can be downloaded from the orga- nization's Web site (www.agingresearch.org). The "how to" guide in- cludes a checklist of infor- mation that a physician would need to know so that he or she can explain the most cost effective op- tions for treating OA pain. Daniel Perry, executive director of the Alliance for Aging Research, said, "Through this campaign, we hope to encourage more older Americans to talk with their physicians about managing their OA symp- toms, recognizing that ex- pert guidelines recommend starting with over-the- counter medications such as acetaminophen that are widely available and very cost-effective."

In fact,' 54 percent of Floridians assume that the federal Medicare program or their private Medicare- supplement ("Medigap") insurance will cover the cost of extended nursing-home care. Actually, Medicare ful- ly covers the cost of skilled nursing care for only 20 days. Sixty percent of Amer- icans 65 and older will need long-term care for three months or more at some point in their lives, accord- ing to government studies. Long-term care provides ongoing help with daily ac- tivities such as bathing, dressing, or preparing meals in your home, com- munity, or nursing home setting. "This study shows how important it is to begin plan- ning and making future health care choices sooner, rather than later," said Lori Parham, AARP Florida In- terim State Director.
