Jamestown  (CSi/JRMC) Jamestown Regional Medical Center, asks:  “Coverage conundrums got you confused?”  To know your insurance rights, attend the JRMC U Forum regarding health insurance. The event is set for 11:15 a.m., Thursday, November 10, 2016.

The health insurance market is complex and can be confusing. Jamestown Regional Medical Center wants to help residents better understand their policies. Prior to or after a hospital visit, families sometimes face unexpected financial bills.

The session includes a short presentation from Alison Kennison, JRMC’s patient financial services manager. Kennison and her patient access team can help residents understand their current plans. The patient access team also helps residents understand what other resources might be available to help cover the cost of care.

She says, “The goal is to help individuals understand their insurance policy before they face unexpected expenses. We want to help before tragedy strikes a person or family.”

If residents want to make a change to their coverage, they have until their enrollment deadline to make changes. Enrollment dates vary, but for most plans, the deadline is around Thanksgiving.

Kennison says she and her team have experienced tough conversations with people who’ve gotten sick or injured and then are unprepared.

She adds, “These conversations are heartbreaking. Residents purchased insurance and think they’re covered. But they don’t realize that in many cases, they have to pay a deductible before the insurance kicks in. Deductibles can vary from $250 to $10,000. That’s a lot of money, especially when you or a loved one is sick.”

After the presentation, Kennison and other community insurance professionals will be on hand to answer questions in a private, case-by-case setting. The event begins at 11:15 a.m. at the Legacy Center, 419 5th St NE (the old Jamestown Hospital). It is free and open to the public. For more information, call Kennison at 952-4556.

Jamestown Regional Medical Center is located at 2422 20^th St. SW, Jamestown, ND and serves approximately 55,000 people in nine counties. For more information on services at JRMC, visit www.jrmcnd.com or call 701-952-1050.

MINOT, N.D. (AP) — Authorities are seeking a man believed to have shot two people outside of a Minot bar over the weekend.

Police have issued an arrest warrant for 25-year-old Steven Stewart on charges of attempted murder and reckless endangerment.

Stewart is accused of shooting 25-year-old and 41-year-old men with a semi-automatic rifle in the parking lot of Sports on Tap early Saturday. Authorities believe only one of the men was an intended target, and the other was a bystander.

Both men were hospitalized in stable condition.

Police also are seeking for questioning a 24-year-old woman they believe might be with Stewart. Stewart also faces felony drug charges in North Dakota.

 

MINOT, N.D. (AP) — A Plaza man who became known as the “Flying Farmer” for his car stunts during the 1990s and early 2000s made a successful jump out of retirement.

John Smith on Sunday got into his 1982 Chevrolet Caprice and soared over a burning mobile home, to the cheers of the crowd that had gathered.

Smith hadn’t jumped a car in more than 13 years. He reported only minor soreness after landing.

Smith also set a couple of Guinness world records for driving in reverse in the 1990s and early 2000s.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A man who pleaded guilty to killing another man during a drug-fueled fight on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation and hiding the body in the trunk of his mother’s car has been sentenced to nearly 15 years in prison.

Marcel Chase pleaded guilty in May to voluntary manslaughter in the December 2014 slaying of Toby Young Bear in Mandaree. He initially had faced a more serious murder charge.

U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland recently sentenced Chase to 14 years and 10 months in prison, with credit for time served. Chase also was ordered to pay $1,500 in restitution. He will be on supervised release for three years following his prison term.
