Hi Tabbatha,How did you get Medi-cal to approve your surgery so fast?I have been

trying for a while.Where are you located?My doctor says he is behind me but I

haven't seen any forward steps at all.

Tabbatha Burleson wrote: Hello,

My name is Tabbatha Burleson. I am 28 years old. I am 9 days post-op. I have two

boys and a wonderful husband. We have been together for 10 years this Dec. and

married for 7 of those years come March.

I have struggled with my weight since I was 17 years old. But it has only

been within the last four or five years that I really started to have problems.

My doctors recomended me to have this surgery done about 3 years ago, but things

fell through, and I was not able to go through with the surgery. I believe that

at that time I wasn't really ready. It wasn't until this last summer that I

really started to research wls surgery. I came to the conclusion that if I

didn't go through with it this time, I was not going to live to see my two boys

grow up. I was 350+ lbs, with severe sleep apnea, hip pain, high blood pressure,

breathing problems whenever I exerted myself, severe swelling of my legs and

feet, and I was getting sores on them that would leak plasma and take forever to

heal.

My husband and family wanted so badly for me to have this surgery. In July of

07, I finally made the decision to go ahead and go for having the surgery. I

went to my doctor and they made the appointment. In Sept. I had my appointment.

I went to orientation and saw Dr.K and the psychologist, all in one day. By then

I weighed 371 lbs.

By the end of September I was approved by Medi-cal to have the surgery. I was

so excited! I couldn't believe how fast things were going.

I set my date for surgery Nov.7, 2007. I couldn't believe that it was finally

going to happen. To me it was a miracle. My whole family was so proud of me and

so happy for me.

Here I am. Nine days out of surgery. I already feel so much better. When I

went in this week to have the drains taken out I weighed 347 lbs. I was amazed.

In one week I had lost almost 30lbs. I know that it is mostly, if not all, water

weight.

I feel the need to connect with others who have gone through or are going

through the same things that I am. It is even better that we share the same

surgery and doctor.

I hope too, that I might be able to help someone else that is wondering if

they should have the surgery, and have questions.

I am sorry if I have gone on and on. I wasn't sure what exactly to write.

Please feel free to ask any questions that you want of me.

Thank You, Tabbatha Burleson.

EZ Claim works with multiple clearinghouses, not just one. I don't think you are in any trouble with going with EZ Claim. S

Original Message

To all Amazing Charts users,

Please can you tell me what practice management software you use?

I looked into EZ claims but someone told me that the clearinghouse they use is filing for bankrupcy. I believe AC is in the process of developing their own practice mx software. I would like to get your opinion on what has been working well so far, interfacing with AC.

Thanks in advance.

[Guest guest]

I use an ASP called Medrium, used to be free, but now can pay $350/month, or per claim. You can run any custom report you want, and all the standards. The claims are all submitted electronically. Now seems way to expensive, but haven't taken the leap to looking at anything else, and transferring all that data.

Based on your state, it could be illegal to bill a Medicaid

patient even if you don’t participate. It’s not in NJ (the

Question for everyone.

I have patients who have Medicaid but are paying me cash

because I don't take Medicaid.

I was putting the Medicaid information into the insurance

data in Amazing Charts since I need it to fill in on lab slips or if I have

to do prior auths.

Are there legal entanglements that I'm missing?

Thanks.

Wayne, basically I want to know if you are satisfied with it, any glitches, is it worth the price. We met with Quest yesterday and they are trying to sign us up. 's concernw ith some of Quest's programs is that they are host-based and we don't "own" the data when we want to quit.

whatever the ICD9 code is for autism + cpt code based on time more than 50% of the visit was coordination and counsleleing of care say 1/2 hr is I think 99214 etccould consider code plus 99354 for prolonged visits also

Patient came in with her Autistic son (classic autism). Mother 86 and no other family members to care for him. Spent 1/2 hour discussing options and pointing her to lawyer to help with setting up trusts and guardianship (free lawywer for those with disabilities) and pointing her to a local agency who specializes in providing services for those with Autism.

Now how do I code it? Thanks.
