nearly $180,000 the county paid to Abso-
lute in fiscal 2017.

Asked about the dramatic drop-off in
payouts from the county plan in fiscal 2017,
Jaynes said her practice is still thriving.

“County employees still received treat-
ments at our clinic [in the past year]. The
difference now is they pay for treatments
out of pocket,” Jaynes wrote in an email to
Vero Beach 32963 last week.

Many of those patients, though, are now
choosing treatment in a group setting in
Absolute’s less-costly community room,
rather than a more-expensive private room.

As for the county blaming her for the
soaring costs that prompted the commis-
sioners to act, Jaynes wrote: “We provid-
ed a service year after year after year, and
the insurance company paid for it until
somebody at the county decided it was
costing too much and wanted to put a
cap on it.”

Brown and Boyll said the problem was
that Absolute billed the insurer – Florida
Blue serves as the third-party administra-
tor off the county’s health plan – but did not
require patients to cover any of the costs of
the treatments.

In other words: There was no co-pay.
That meant patients could seek treat-
ment, free of charge, as much as they need-
ed or wanted. The county was picking up
the check.
“Some people were going 200 times a
year,” Brown said.
Jaynes, whose practice offers five acu-
puncturists and 11 treatments rooms in the
Bridgewater Building on Indian River Bou-
levard, said earlier this year that she often
waived the co-pay for patients experiencing
financial hardship.
Brown said he asked both Florida Blue
and the Florida Office of Insurance Regu-
lation to investigate Jaynes’ billing and the
claims filed by her patients. The OIR has
since forwarded the case to the Florida De-
partment of Financial Services.
John Moore, spokesman for the DFS’
Division of Investigation and Forensic Ser-
vices, confirmed Monday that his agen-
cy had received two inquiries relating to
Jaynes’ practice.
“Currently, the matter is under review,”
he said, “but I cannot provide any specifics
at this time.” 

“I did a specialty in this area and [Scul-

According to Correa, in its simplest
terms, confocal microscopy is a virtual bi-

“In other words,” she says, “it’s having a
biopsy of the skin without the pinching or
the cutting or the scalpel or anything. It’s
more or less putting a microscope on the
skin and seeing. That’s it.

“It’s a very good, for example, for lesions

In fact, a huge percentage of the broken So what are Klucar, Losapio and the Coast-
bones osteoporosis causes come from those The Surgeon General’s office states that by al Fracture Prevention Center doing to help Plenty.
This particular duo can rattle off a laun-
dry list of things seniors can and should be
doing to avoid life-changing and potentially
life-threatening broken bones.
Since the disease is alarmingly under-di-
agnosed, having a DEXA or bone density test
would be a logical first step. Losapio happily
points out if your bone density is low, there
are now new medications like Tymlos which,
she says, “have been shown to actually build
new and good quality bone.”
The next step might be taking a closer look
at your diet. As Klucar points out, “you can
get [all your needed] vitamins and minerals
through a healthy diet, that’s optimal. I mean,
I think that everybody would agree with that.”
She then adds that seniors need sunlight,
too. “We’re afraid of the sun now, you know,
but you’ve got to be outside for at least 15
minutes a day. And no sunscreen,” because
even a low SPF 15 drastically reduces the vi-
tamin D – an essential element for healthy
bones – that your body takes in from the sun.
And then there’s balance. As we age and
become at less active than we used to be, we
may lose our natural sense of balance.
“If you’re not demanding balance, you’re
not going to have balance,” Losapio says. “You
have to make that a part of your daily routines.
Standing on one leg brushing your teeth, I
mean, little things. Standing at your kitchen
doing dishes. Tilting from one leg to another.
You know, little things, that you can work in.”
And while they’ll never make it into a Vic-
toria’s Secret catalog, there are even under-
garments specifically designed to absorb the
impact of a fall, especially in the hip area.
Although the National Library of Medi-
cine at NIH found only “a marginally signifi-
cant reduction in hip fracture risk,” for those
while wearing this “impact wear” clothing, for
someone with severe osteoporosis, any reduc-
tion in risk might well be worth considering.
Klucar and Losapio say they are eager to
share their knowledge, expertise, tips and
skills in what they call this “bone health
emergency.”

A STANDARD RULE IN ANOTHER SETTING NORTH

Charles M. Schwab said, “All successful employers are stalking men who will do the WEST K J 10 EAST

of them.” A92 KQ5 653
52 10 9 6 3
Successful bridge players stalk tricks, which occasionally requires doing the unusual — 863 SOUTH 10 9 7 4
as in today’s deal. South is in three no-trump. West leads a fourth-highest spade seven. 653
What should happen after that? Q874
AKQ
This is the single most common bidding sequence. South assumes that North will cover AJ2
the spade suit, and North assumes that South will coast home easily with a combined
28-30 points between them. Dealer: South; Vulnerable: Both

South starts with seven top tricks: four diamonds and three clubs. He can easily The Bidding:
establish three more winners in hearts. His only concern is the spade suit. Well, there is
no hurry to put up dummy’s king. That can wait until the second round of the suit. SOUTH WEST NORTH EAST OPENING
1 NT Pass 3 NT All Pass
Now the spotlight falls on East. He knows that when the lead is fourth-highest, he LEAD:
should apply the Rule of Eleven. Seven from 11 is four. So there are four spades higher 7 Spades
than the seven in the North, East and South hands combined. Lo and behold, East can
see all four: the king-nine on the board and the ace-jack in his hand. So South has no
spade higher than the seven.

This would tempt some Easts to win the first trick with the jack — irreparably blocking
the suit. A stalker will win with the ace and return the jack, trusting his partner to
overtake with the queen to drive out dummy’s king. Then, when West gets in with his
heart ace, he cashes the rest of the spades for down one.
