Do you want to hit the road for a weekend trip or summer vacation? As states begin opening up, many are planning an escape. But there are some things you should you know before you make the trek.Vacations were canceled, trips delayed, destinations rescheduled amid the spread of the coronavirus pandemic. As America starts to think about traveling again, AAA wants to help you plan ahead.AAA spokeswoman Jeanette Casselano said, “We always do our research before we hit the road but now people are asking lots of questions about what’s open, what can I do, what activities are free to me when I go to a certain place.”Now, there's a new tool to help you while on the go. Trip Tik is an interactive road map, and it gives you everything you need to know before you leave home."Dining solutions or dining restrictions in place, face covers if they’re required, national lands or parks are open,” Casselano said.Trip Tik provides updated information for all 50 states. In certain areas of New Mexico, for instance, only tribal members are allowed. In South Dakota, you'll have to fill out a health questionnaire. Upon entering Florida, you'll have to fill out a traveler form. All things you need to know."That’s important information to take into account when you’re traveling,” Casselano said. “COVID has hit every part of the country and you need to understand what’s happening in that locality that you’re traveling to make the best decision.”The map points out hot spots, and number of cases by state and county. So you can make an informed decision about where you're going and where you'll be staying. The interactive map has gotten a lot of web traffic as people start feeling comfortable leaving home.And as you start planning - there's some things you should think about and discuss with your family:-Know where the rest stops are, whether they're open, and whether you'll be comfortable stopping.-Figure out whether restaurants are open, and pack extra food in case of closures.-You'll want an emergency roadside kit.-You'll need a mask, gloves, disinfectant, cleaning supplies for yourself, your family and your car.AAA also recommends making sure your car is in good shape. They've been fielding a lot of dead battery calls from cars that haven't moved during lockdown.“We had a lot of people who weren’t traveling, everyone working from home,” Casselano said. “You have to take care of your cars when that happens so we provided a lot of information and tips to keep your car and battery healthy.”Check on your car, and check your own health before you leave your hometown. 2592

During the holidays, you can get some amazing deals on food.One of the most frugal families in America, known as the "Money Smart Family" online, says to make sure you stock up on all the right types of food if you want to save money.Steve and Annette Economides say Thanksgiving is one of the most economical holidays out there because of the sales. They say the price of a turkey will drop at least 50 perfect from the normal retail price. So, if you have a bog freezer at home, you should consider buying one to cook after the holidays. The couple even says Thanksgiving is the cheapest time to buy ham.However, there are other food prices to be cautious of buying."They aren't going to drop their beef prices, pork prices, fish prices," the couple says. "They are going to be normal or higher, because they are not using them as an incentive to lure you in.”The Economides say it also does no good to stock up on items that will go bad. "You have to know what your burn rate is, and then you have to stock up according to what the burn rate is for your household. The burn rate means how quickly you go through things.”For extra savings, make sure you download the app if your grocery stores offers one.  Also, load up on the digital coupons and try the app called Ibotta to get cash back. If you really want to save big, let others help you this holiday season.“We're hosting Thanksgiving dinner for about 25 people, and the cost to us is going to be the turkey and some potatoes and setting the house up," the Economides say.Remember to not buy anything until you’ve checked your own pantry to make sure you don't already have the goods.    1729

EL CAJON, Calif. (KGTV) - An El Cajon man says a new spinal procedure changed his life, but the Army veteran is now locked in a battle with his military health insurance plan which refuses to cover it.Ronald Maddern says he can't understand why TRICARE, his secondary insurance, would deny coverage of the procedure after his primary insurance, Medicare, agreed to cover 80 percent of the cost. Both insurance plans are run by the federal government."Makes me feel like a second-rate citizen after I served in the military for so many years," he said.The denial by TRICARE left him with a bill of ,756.Maddern had the Vertiflex procedure in 2017 to treat spinal stenosis, which had largely confined him to a wheelchair for 17 years. Maddern is now able to walk with help from a cane for balance."It was a drastic success," said the 71-year-old. "My quality of life now is very, very good."The procedure, developed by a Carlsbad company, was approved by the FDA in 2015. It has been performed thousands of times across the country, said Maddern's surgeon Dr. Michael Verdolin."It is extremely frustrating that one arm of the government says yes and the other portion, really the pinky, says no," he said.In a letter of denial, TRICARE argued Vertiflex is an "unproven procedure," despite its FDA approval."There have been 15,000 cases across the US. It's been cleared for use," Verdolin said. "There is no question to be asked about its efficacy."TRICARE did not immediately respond to requests for comment by 10News.Ronald Maddern's insurance case is now before an administrative law judge. He's hoping the judge's ruling will convince TRICARE to conform its benefits with other federal agencies, so more veterans can get the procedure. 1746

DUNCAN, Okla. -- Rural hospitals faced unique challenges preparing for a rush of COVID-19 patients. From financial struggles to attaining PPE, smaller facilities did everything they could to get ready.One regional hospital in Oklahoma has waited for months for coronavirus cases to flood their emergency room, but that wave of patients is just now starting to trickle in.“We saw cases increasing, but as of now, it hasn’t come to Duncan quite like we expected,” said Dr. Michael Hemphill, a pulmonary and critical care physician and Duncan Regional’s Director of the ICU.As coronavirus cases overload emergency rooms across the country, this rural hospital—one of few medical centers in Southern Oklahoma—has only seen a handful of cases. After the holiday weekend, their facility is starting to see cases increase.As they wait for the surge, the fear of what would happen if beds or supplies ran out looms over the staff.“The most difficult thing is, there’s not a lot of backup,” said Hemphill. “I’m the only pulmonogist in Duncan,” he said.So, the hospital gathered as much personal protective equipment as possible—preparing for the worst.Chief Nursing Officer Kristen Webb said it’s been tougher to get critical supplies as a smaller hospital.“The last time we were able to receive N95’s was probably in December,” said Webb. She said they needed them again come February, but were never able to fill any of the orders they placed.When she was able to find supplies, she spent every penny she could to make sure staff would be safe.“We probably spent close to a million dollars on equipment, PPE, or other supplies and equipment towards a pandemic that we didn’t fully realize at this point,” said Webb.That massive expense was made tougher because the hospital had to cancel all elective procedures and appointments.“We spent quite a bit of money at a time where we weren’t bringing in our normal resources,” said Webb.“Rural hospitals are especially financially strained, especially here in Oklahoma, so when everything shut down…our elective procedures shut down. So, there is a financial burden the hospital had to bear,” said Dr. Hemphill.The burden extends past these walls to Jefferson County Hospital. Duncan Regional helps the critical access hospital stay open. It’s a facility with only 18 beds that was on the verge of shutting down just a couple years ago.But if the pandemic hits, that critical access facility and Duncan Regional are the places people will turn to. So it’s necessary these facilities maintain enough revenue to stay open so communities have access to care. 2601
