  • Complementary and Alternative Medicine
    Complementary and Alternative Medicine Policy Number: Original Effective Date: MM.12.013 01/01/2014 Line(s) of Business: Current Effective Date: HMO; PPO 11/17/2017 Section: Miscellaneous Place(s) of Service: Outpatient I. Description Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), also called non-traditional medicine, is a group of diverse medical and healthcare systems, practices and products that are not typically considered to be a part of traditional Western medicine (i.e., conventional medicine). This policy addresses services performed by CAM providers such as naturopaths, chiropractors and acupuncturists. Complementary medicine generally refers to using a non-traditional approach together with conventional medicine. Alternative medicine refers to using a non-traditional approach in place of conventional medicine. Various CAM assessments and therapies are supported by some degree of scientific evidence and are intended to reduce disease-based symptoms and to improve health outcomes. However, due to a lack of well-designed scientific studies and/or peer reviewed literature many CAM therapies have not been shown to improve health outcomes over conventional therapies. II. Criteria/Guidelines A CAM service or procedure is covered (subject to Limitations and Administrative Guidelines) when all of the following criteria are met: A. It meets the definition of medical necessity as specified in Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) Section 432: 1. It is for the purpose of treating a medical condition. 2. It is the most appropriate delivery or level of service, considering potential benefits and harms to the patient; 3. It is known to be effective in improving health outcomes; provided that: a. Effectiveness is determined first by scientific evidence; b.

  • BULGARIA 2020 RODOPI MOUNTAINS CYCLE TOUR Semi-Guided - 8 Days/7 Nights
    BULGARIA 2020 RODOPI MOUNTAINS CYCLE TOUR Semi-Guided - 8 Days/7 Nights The Rodopi Mountains are located in the oldest part of the Balkans with some of the loveliest coniferous forests in the country. The landscape is gentle and rolling, with gorges intermingling with river basins and valleys. Here one can also find 70% of the world minerals, as well as some 600 caves. Flora and fauna contain species that have become extinct in other European countries. Locals live a traditional way of life: wooden carts pulled by horses, donkeys or cows; nomadic gypsies picking mushrooms and berries in the woods; local Muslim inhabitants growing tobacco and potatoes; and herds of sheep and goats descending the mountain at day’s end. You will cycle through villages with typical Rodopean architecture where speech, songs and customs of the local people create the special identity of the region. You have the chance to visit Bachkovo Monastery, the second largest in Bulgaria; see the Miraculous bridges, two unique natural rock bridges about 40 m. high; Velingrad – the largest Bulgarian spa resort famous for its healing hot mineral water. ITINERARY Day 1. Arrive at Sofia or Plovdiv Airport and transfer to your hotel in Sofia. Day 2. Sofia– Belmeken Dam – Velingrad spa town Transfer to the cycling start a few kilometers before the village of Sestrimo. Cycle up to the Belmeken dam (2000 m) through old coniferous woods.

    Some things you may find useful to know… About Bulgaria Bulgaria, officially the Republic of Bulgaria is a country in southeastern Europe. It is bordered by Romania to the north, Serbia and Macedonia to the west, Greece and Turkey to the south, and the Black Sea to the east. With a territory of 110,994 square kilometers (42,855 sq mi), Bulgaria is Europe's 16th-largest country. Its population of 7.4 million people is predominantly urbanized and mainly concentrated in the administrative centers of its 28 provinces. Most commercial and cultural activities are centered on the capital and largest city, Sofia. The country is a member of the European Union, NATO, and the Council of Europe. The climate in the country is dynamic, which results from its being positioned at the meeting point of Mediterranean and continental air masses and the barrier effect of its mountains. Northern Bulgaria averages 1 °C (1.8 °F) cooler than the regions south of the Balkan mountains. Temperature amplitudes vary significantly in different areas. The lowest recorded temperature is −38.3 °C (−36.9 °F), while the highest is 45.2 °C (113.4 °F). Situated at a crossroads between civilizations, Bulgaria has more than 13 centuries of recorded history and one of the richest cultural legacies in Europe. Modern Bulgarian culture derives from three ancient civilizations: the Bulgars, then Thracians, and the Slavs. The territory was also part of the Byzantine and Ottoman empires for several centuries. Bulgarians are the main ethnic group in the country and comprise 84.8% of the population.

  • Capital of Romanian Beekeeping and Apitherapy
    Capital of Romanian beekeeping and apitherapy Bucharest became the capital of the Romanian beekeeping and Apitherapy from October 11th to 14th by hosting the XII National Congress of Apitherapy with international participation. The Congress was organized by the Romanian Society of Apitherapy (R.S.A.) in partnership with IRDB (Institute of Research-Development in Beekeeping) and FIITAE Apimondia (Foundation of the International Institute of Technology and Apiculture economy) and brought together physicians, pharmacists, beekeepers, biologists, biochemists, engineers and businessmen from many countries of the world. The diverse theme of Congress was supported by oral presentations and posters, scientific debates, free conferences for pupils, students and pensioners, workshops, as well as an exhibition with the sale of apiculture products open to the general public. We selectively mention from the works presented at the Congress, based on section framing: • The history of beekeeping in Romania - Beekeeping, traditional occupation – Gabriela VLĂSCEANU, Iuliana CRIŞAN (Bucharest, Romania) • Melifero-Medicinal Plants - The melifera base in Romania and its importance for Apitherapy – Gabriela VLĂSCEANU (Bucharest, Romania) • Quality of apiculture products - A better quality of apiculture products through the application of new procedures and treatments to combat the parasite Varroa destructor – Adrian SICEANU, Eliza CĂUIA, Gabriela Oana VIŞAN, Dumitru CĂUIA (Bucharest, Romania) - The incidence of antibiotics in apiculture products.
