Your insurance questions W

answered

hen it comes to buying personal health insurance, the choices can often be confusing. Do you go with a high deductible and a low premium or vice versa? Comprehensive care or catastrophic insurance coverage?

A PPO or HMO? Janet Cully, of Harbour Health Insurance Solutions on Hilton Head Island, recently took some time to talk to Monthly about shopping for health insurance.

Where does one start when looking to buy health insurance?

By sally mahan

What is managed care?

With an HMO, or health maintenance organization, you have a doctor who is in the list of network providers. Referrals from that doctor to a specialist are required. These plans have lower premiums. With a PPO, or preferred provider, you may be able to seek care from a doctor or hospital that is not a preferred provider, but you will probably have to pay a higher deductible or co-payment.

Is there such a thing as too much insurance coverage?

We usually start by asking what you have used in past. You should also go back over the last year and look at what medical expenses you had and then project that forward. Will you need prescription coverage, vision, dental and other types of coverage? We can then tailor-make a plan to fit your needs.

Is it better to have a high deductible and low premium or a low deductible and high premium?

It really depends on each person on a case-by-case basis.

You might want a low prescription co-pay, so you’d want a lower deductible. If you just want catastrophic coverage, it will be a high deductible. That’s great for the younger generation because it provides for major medical expenses like a hospitalization. But you will want a low deductible if you’re planning to have surgery or a baby or something like one of those situations.

How can consumers lower their premium?

If you’re in a group plan at work or have a personal plan, you can take advantage of plan changes and preventative discounts. With individual plans, there are options to increase the deductible and lower the premium.

How to get help

For information on insurers and licensing, medical insurance plans, tips, your rights as a consumer, Medicare issues and much more, visit the South Carolina Department of Insurance at doi.sc.gov, call 803-737-6160, or email info@doi.sc.gov 2

·

Yes, you can be over-insured. We help make sure the user isn’t buying everything out there. We don’t want you to buy any type of coverage that will double-insure you, for instance.

We also want to make sure, however, that you’re getting added value and discounts and that you’re not getting insurance that you won’t need.

What do consumers often forget when it comes to paying for health care?

First, if they buy A high-deductible plan, they should definitely open a health savings account. We always recommend that for tax savings. Also, a lot of people look into medical, dental and vision, but not disability, which should be a priority.

How often should consumers review their coverage?

Annually, but you can do it more than once a year. Either way, you definitely want to look at your coverage options and make sure your benefits are keeping up with your needs.

Why should consumers use an insurance company rather than just going online and buying insurance?

We provide someone to talk to, someone who can help change your plan as needed, and also help you understand the process. You might get the bottom number online, but we point things out, explain benefits and go through your coverage with you and help you compare plans and explain. Finally, we are there to help and provide great customer service.

DETECTING CANCER AT STAGE 0 is starting to save lives

I

f you have never heard of Stage 0 breast cancer you probably soon will. It’s being talked about a lot recently in medical circles and among women who pay attention to such matters because they have a family history of breast cancer.

According to Dr. Virginia Herrmann, Medical Director of the Hilton Head Hospital Breast Health Center — and professor of surgery at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center, improvements in technology over the past few years, screening mammography, and particularly digital mammography , have enabled radiologists to detect the beginnings of breast duct calcifications and early breast cancer earlier than ever before.

“The ability today of a good breast radiologist to detect these tiny microscopic calcifications inside the lining of the breast ducts is a wonderful breakthrough for women and a powerful, compelling case for the importance of having an annual mammogram beginning at age 40,” said Dr. Herrmann.

“One in eight women in the United States will develop breast cancer in her lifetime, and if we can now detect the beginnings of cancer at an earlier point than ever before, it only makes good sense to do so. Early mammography will end up saving lives.”

Dr. Herrmann pointed out that Hilton Head Hospital’s imaging department was recently recognized by the American College of Radiology as a “Breast Imaging Center of Excellence.” Hilton Head Hospital has the only Breast Imaging Center of Excellence in Beaufort and Jasper counties.

“Women in our area are very fortunate to have such an outstanding facility in our midst,” she said. Hilton Head Hospital also has dedicated breast imagers interpreting mammograms. We now have the ability to provide women with the very latest and best in breast imaging, and

interpretation, right here at home.

Dr. Herrmann explained that when the abnormal microscopic cells appear in a breast it is called ductal carcinoma in situ, or DCIS. “DCIS is cancer cells that are confined to the breast duct, and the cancer is so early, it is microscopic. This is generally prior to a mass or a lump,” she said, adding that this is typically the sign of Stage I or a higher stage of breast cancer.

“Of course, calcifications seen on a mammogram are often benign,” she said. “About 75-80 percent of calcifications seen on a mammogram are benign, but 20-25 percent of calcifications may indicate the very earliest stage of cancer. A biopsy is generally recommended to determine if the calcifications are benign (non-cancerous), or an early cancer.

If detected, surgery is the standard next step but often DCIS may be managed with a lumpectomy in which only the abnormal cells and a small amount of breast tissue are removed. Most women who have a lumpectomy will be recommended to receive radiation treatment also. Chemotherapy is not needed for Stage 0 cancer, or DCIS.Many women with DCIS will be recommended to take tamoxifen, which reduces her risk of cancer in the opposite breast.

Some women who may have been detected with several locations of abnormal cells may choose a mastectomy. Still others, often younger women, who may have a significant family history of breast cancer, or who have a genetic mutation that put them at a high risk for the disease even opt for a double mastectomy. According to Marisa Weiss, a Philadelphia oncologist and founder of breastcancer.org, “these women may say ‘I’m not going to dance with the devil.’” A study published last April in the Journal of Clinical Oncology found the rate of double mastec-

tomy among DCIS patients rose from 4.1 percent to 13.5 percent over a seven year period. Women having a mastectomy for DCIS may have reconstruction breast surgery immediately or later.

Dr. Herrmann notes that although great strides have been made in diagnosing and treating breast cancer, more than 40,000 women are projected to die from the disease this year. And despite that fact, fewer women in the United States are getting annual mammograms.

“It’s heartbreaking for me,” said Dr. Herrmann, “especially when I know that detection is such a wonderful key to saving lives.

Dr. Herrmann notes that the chance of getting breast cancer increases with age, with the majority of cases occurring in women over the age of 50. It is a disease that is more commonly diagnosed among white women than in African-American women or other minorities, but the mortality rate is greater among African-American women. It is also greater in women who menstruate early or go through menopause late, and for women who do not have children, or who have their first child later in life. A family history of breast cancer is an important risk factor as well, especially if breast cancer occurred in a mother, sister or daughter, but also in one’s father’s family as well.

Dr. Virginia Herrmann has more than 25 years of experience specializing in caring for patients with breast disease. She serves as medical director of the Breast Health Center in Hilton Head and sees patients in Charleston, Bluffton and on Hilton Head Island. Dr. Herrmann — a Harvard fellowship-trained breast cancer specialist and Professor of Surgery at MUSC — is the only dedicated breast surgeon in Beaufort and Jasper counties. hiltonheadmonthly.com

CYBERKNIFE:

Tumors Have Nowhere To Hide

BY ROBY

J

CyberKnife can treat malignant tumors anywhere in the body— the brain, prostate, liver, lung, pancreas, and head and neck, as well as brain and bony metastases and lesions inside and outside the skull.

It can also be used to treat benign (noncancerous) tumors that may affect quality of life.

ust a few months ago, Lowcountry residents would have to travel a long way to get treatment on some inoperable or extremely difficult tumors.

For example, a woman had a tumor growing on her optical nerve and slowly stealing her eyesight. Surgery was not the best option.

“If something is benign but it’s next to your optic nerve, for example, it can potentially blind you if it grows,” Pablo said.

“This again shows how advantages of the CyberKnife work together seamlessly. It can track and correct for any slight motion, and deliver the radiation with incredible accuracy.”

But the CyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery System arrived at the Nancy N. and J.C. Lewis Cancer & Research Pavilion at St. Joseph’s/Candler and that woman didn’t have to have open surgery. She received radiosurgery with the CyberKnife and in just a few sessions that tumor shrunk and went away.

The advanced ability of the CyberKnife is like music to the ears of St. Joseph’s/ Candler’s radiation oncologists as well as patients with tumors in the head and neck, prostate, lungs, spine and other areas.

“The CyberKnife allows me to provide a pain-free procedure to treat tumors anywhere in the body,” said John A. Pablo, M.D. “With this tool, I can deliver high doses of radiation to small areas with phenomenal accuracy.”

The pinpoint precision of the CyberKnife helps to minimize damage to the healthy tissue surrounding the tumor.

Its accuracy is measured in sub-millimeters.

“This technology utilizes real-time tracking,” Pablo said. “If the patient or the tumor itself moves slightly, the CyberKnife can see where things are moving and correct for that motion.”

The real-time tracking, which can continuously detect the tumor’s location, is in perfect sync with another unique advance-

ment of this technology—the ability to aim radiation beams from up to 1,200 different angles. In addition, the CyberKnife is frameless, which means that patients won’t have to experience the discomfort and inconvenience of being immobilized by a head or body frame as with traditional radiosurgery.

This treatment also eliminates the need for overnight hospital stays that often come with traditional surgery. And what’s more, it can usually be completed within one to five sessions as opposed to daily sessions for five to seven weeks.

Fewer sessions can be achieved because the CyberKnife is so accurate it can deliver higher doses of radiation directly to the tumor and not the surrounding healthy tissue. Traditional and less accurate devices use lower doses of radiation.

Because its radiation beams can be delivered from over 1,200 different angles, the

The combination of sub-millimeter accuracy and robotic versatility of the CyberKnife creates the possibility of treating tumors that were once considered inoperable. Its capability is not only important to radiation oncologists but also neurosurgeons that practice at St. Joseph’s/ Candler.

“We work hand-in-hand with the neurosurgeons in administering this radiation treatment,” Pablo said. “It’s a real team approach.”

Patients should be equally impressed with the benefits of CyberKnife after the procedure. With no incisions, no anesthesia, and no blood loss, patients will not have to endure the long recovery times that can result from traditional surgery. Simply put, the CyberKnife is so cutting edge that it doesn’t need to cut at all.

THE BEST IN THE WORLD, Right Down the Road

By John Duttenhaver, M.D., Radiation Oncologist, Curtis and Elizabeth Anderson Cancer Institute at Memorial University Medical Center

O

ur beautiful Lowcountry is an idyllic escape far from the hustle and bustle of larger cities. Most people would never guess that nestled among the moss-draped trees and meandering waterways is some of the most advanced medical technology in the world.

A state-of-the-art machine called the Varian TrueBeam provides the world’s most advanced radiation therapy for cancer treatment. TrueBeam can be found in prestigious cancer facilities such as Memorial Sloan-Kettering, Duke, and Emory. It’s also located just down the road in Savannah, at the Curtis and Elizabeth Anderson Cancer Institute (ACI) at Memorial University Medical Center.

My colleague Aaron Pederson, M.D., and I began treating patients with this remarkable new technology in February.

TrueBeam can be used to attack lung, breast, prostate, head and neck, and other types of cancer. It delivers a powerful dose of radiation with sub-millimeter accuracy, targeting tumors with extreme precision while sparing the surrounding healthy tissue and organs. We use TrueBeam for two specific types of radiation therapy — stereotactic radiosurgery for brain tumors and stereotactic body radiotherapy for other tumors. These techniques deliver high doses of radiation over a period of one to five treatments.

One of the most remarkable aspects of TrueBeam is its amazing speed. A radiotherapy treatment that took 20 minutes or more with other technology can now be completed in as little as five to 10 minutes.

The TrueBeam machine rotates around the patient to quickly and accurately deliver beams of radiation from different

angles. Reducing treatment time reduces the patients’ anxiety and ultimately helps them recover more quickly.

Yet another benefit of TrueBeam is its ability to produce detailed pictures during treatment. The system generates high-quality 3-D images of the tumor and surrounding anatomy. Our radiation team can see these images in real-time and fine tune the patient’s position as needed during treatment. Having this level of control and accuracy is unprecedented. It is truly a breakthrough in radiation treatment.

RADIATION THERAPY OVER THE YEARS The use of radiation for cancer treatment is not new. Scientists began experimenting with radiation to cure disease in the late 1800s. Over time, they learned that radiation exposure can both kill and cause cancer. Doctors learned that they had to use caution with this powerful agent and be careful not to damage surrounding healthy tissue during treatment.

In the 1940s and ’50s, scientists began developing and testing the “linear accelerator,” a machine that could produce beams of artificial radiation for cancer treatment. The linear accelerator gave doctors more control over the radiation dose and allowed them to aim it more precisely at a tumor. In 1983, Memorial Hospital

brought the region’s first linear accelerator to Savannah.

Just six years later, in 1989, Memorial became the first facility in the state of Georgia to offer stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). Despite its name, this procedure does not involve any actual surgery. Instead, it is the process of delivering a very high dose of radiation to a small tumor with extreme precision.

Stereotactic radiosurgery enabled us to treat brain tumors in a way that we never could before. The only problem with the older SRS devices is that it could take up to two hours to deliver a single treatment.

Patients needed and deserved something more efficient.

In 2006, the ACI once again brought new technology to the region. This time, it was the Varian Trilogy linear accelerator.

Trilogy could perform SRS and full-body stereotactic radiosurgery in 20 to 30 minutes. It was a marked improvement over the other technology. While Trilogy remains one of the most efficient SRS treatment machines, it does not compare to the speed and accuracy of the new TrueBeam. In 2011, the ACI again brought the best technology in the world to our region with its purchase of TrueBeam.

I am consistently amazed at how far we have come and how much we have learned about radiation treatment. Today, we can deliver radiation with greater ease, in less time, and with fewer side effects than ever before. It gives me great pride to bring this highly sophisticated technology to our community. Best of all, people do not have to leave our beautiful Lowcountry or the comforts of home to receive world-class cancer care. hiltonheadmonthly.com

A STROKE OF GENIUS

da Vinci robot give Beaufort Memorial specialists some high-tech help in the OR

A

more advanced version of the da Vinci robot is making it possible for Beaufort Memorial Hospital doctors to perform more complex surgical procedures using a minimally invasive approach.

The first health care provider in the area to use robotic technology to perform hysterectomies for the past several years, BMH upgraded to the new da Vinci Si last December, enhancing existing capabilities and expanding the scope of robotic-assisted surgeries to include organ-sparing procedures for kidney cancer patients as well.

After being trained and certified on the new da Vinci, urologist Dr. John Adams began using the da Vinci for partial nephrectomies earlier this year. The robot’s added capabilities allow him to get to hard-to-reach areas of the kidney to identify and remove smaller tumors.

“My hope was that it would allow me to take a tried-and-true technique and make it better,” Adams said. “The goal is to remove the cancerous tumors with minimal impact to the rest of the kidney. The increased mobility and 3-D visualization offered with the robot allows me to do that.”

The articulation and rotation of the new robot’s three instrument arms have been increased from 180 to 336 degrees, offering an even greater range of motion than the human hand. In addition, the arms move on a fixed point in space or fulcrum, resulting in less post-operative pain at the incision sites.

“It’s so precise in how it moves inside the patient that it has dramatically reduced pain following surgery,” said gynecologist Pat Thompson, who has performed some 75 procedures with the da Vinci over the last two years. “The robot’s arms have been

streamlined and repositioned over the patient so there’s much more room for the assistant surgeon to maneuver around if needed.”

When operating with the da Vinci, the primary physician sits at a console a few feet from the patient, viewing the operating field through a monitor. The new system features HD optical channels that merge for highly accurate depth perception and a zoom capacity offering 10 times the magnification.

“It tells us so much more about what is going on inside the patient,” said Thompson, who has a practice with Beaufort OB/GYN in Beaufort as well as Bluffton Medical Services in Westbury Park. “The software is amazing. It would be like comparing the old DOS operating systems on personal computers with the technology in an iPad.” The magnified, high-resolution 3-D images are transmitted by a camera held in one of the robot’s four arms. The console also has been improved to feature a multiinput display, allowing the surgeon to view the video of the operative field, along with two additional images, such as an ultrasound and EKG. The movement of the instrument arms are controlled by the physician’s thumbs and forefingers inserted into Velcro grips. In the new system, the surgical tools have been reduced in size to just five millimeters, allowing the surgeon to make smaller incisions.

“It will look better cosmetically,” said OB-GYN specialist Glenn Werner, MD, one of the first BMH physicians to use robotic technology to perform laparoscopic surgeries. “Smaller incisions also reduce blood loss, pain and the risk of hernia.”

For two years, the robotic surgery program at BMH had focused solely on gyne-

cologic procedures—hysterectomies and uterine fibroid removal, primarily. Seven gynecologists are currently trained to perform surgery with the system. They include Drs. Allahna Coggins, Jo Ann Csakany, Randall Royal, Andra Davis-Tolbert and Claude Tolbert, in addition to Thompson and Werner.

Women interested in learning how the da Vinci Si can be used to treat gynecological issues can attend a free presentation on the surgical system June 26 at the USCB Performing Arts Center. Call 843522-5585 for information or to register.

The increased dexterity of the new model has made it possible for the robot to be equipped with more advanced instruments, opening the door for other specialists to use the technology.

“Da Vinci offers a lot of promise for kidney cancer patients, from less blood loss and lower complication rates to shorter hospital stays and better cancer control,” Dr. Adams said. “The goal is to provide the best option and the best outcome for the patient.”

In addition to gynecologic and urologic techniques, the new system could be used by general surgeons to perform some of the most common laparoscopic procedures robotically, including cholecystectomies, the surgical removal of the gallbladder.

“The increased mobility, visualization and instrumentation offered with the new system means more patients can benefit from minimally invasive robotic techniques,” BMH President and CEO Rick Toomey said.
