Re: Reminder to Get Your Comments and That of Our Patients in for Non-Discrimination!

[Guest guest]

What is working well in our office is to hand the sample letter copy and email addy to the patients, and ask them each to give their input. The physical piece of paper is a good reminder to get it done. Patients seem quite happy and excited to give their piece, and it is fun to see them get a little riled up on our behalf.

Dear Colleagues,

Just a reminder to get your comments into the “Oregon Health Policy Board” and even more importantly your patients, friends, and family members. We have but just until Jan. 3 so this week and weekend ….to it today! Your comments can be brief or longer here are some key points you and your patients, friends and family can use for a quick email. Send your comments to this email address at the OHPB, OHPB.Info@...

Here are some brief points to use in your emails

· Please ensure that alternative health care providers like my chiropractor are not discriminated against by these “Coordinated Care Organizations.”

· If we are going to chang e how we deliver health care not just how we pay for it we must move away from all the drugs with their side effects. Please make sure my chiropractor and other natural healers are not discriminated against by the CCOs.

· I went to my medical doctor for _________condition and all he gave me was pain pills which made me feel lousy. A friend suggested I see her/his chiropractor who took care of the problem, chiropractors have a lot to offer not the least of which is drug free treatment that works. Please make sure these “Coordinated care organizations” are not allowed to discriminate against them.

Thank you all who have already written,

Exactly that is what I am doing in my clinic I even highlight one of the sample sentences for them to use as I have several examples. As I posted prior every single patient with a smart phone does it right in the reception area or treatment room...they love it!
