Also since we are new to this group could we have some background

information on the candidates being nominated.

,

My name is S. Chaney.

I am currently working as an Interim Treasurer for the TFCA, and have

been nominated for one of the three Trustee positions. I have been

interested in the

development of a TFCA for about three years, because of the issues

that TFC face on a daily basis. As an Interim Treasurer I have applied for a

Tax I.D. for

the Association and the application was received and approved last

July. Since than I have applied for a Tax Exempt status for the Association

that is

currently in review by the IRS. I have opened a saving / checking

account at the Metro Health Federal Credit Union free of any service fees. I

have been

active with all aspects of the development of the Association.

A little work history: I am currently employed by the University of

Nebraska Medical Center, College of Medicine, Department of Surgery,

Transplant

Section. I have been employed by the University Medical Center for

over thirteen years with over seven years experience working with transplant

patients.

During that time I have evaluated about 2,100 patients and have had

over seven hundred patients receive an organ during my employment. The

majority of my time is spent with liver, small bowel and liver small bowel

patients, but I, also, have experience with kidney, pancreas,

kidney-pancreas, hepatocyt cell

bone marrow, and multi visceral patients. I am proud to have worked

with all, but a couple of our, combined liver bowel and multi visceral

patients.

I've helped lobby for a bill, and presented to a hearing committee

to assist tx pt in our state with high medicine co pay.

Ive written an abstract called TFC training that was accepted for

poster presentation by the UNOS Mtg Forum in San Diego in '99. This same

abstract was used by our Managed Care Contracting Office for credentialing

purposes.

I've been involved with other administrative issues, projects and

programs at our center including our Care Partner Program prior to the

completion of our Lied Tx Coop Care Center Blding.

I would be happy to share with you anytime.

hi marlene and lori.... welcome aboard. I have been nominated for the position

of TFCA Secretary. And im afraid my resume will pale in comparison to 's

and 's. But I do think I can bring some necessary skill to the position.

Currently I am the financial coordinator for the liver transplant program here

at the University of Michigan. I also have some involvement in the kidney

transplant program and am the financial coordinator for the kidney dialysis

program here. I've been a transplant financial coordinator for a little over

two years now so i'm a relative neophyte next to some of the coordinators across

the country.

I have been reasonably active in the TFCA since its inception and recently

accepted the post of " interim " secretary for the association. As such I have

been responsible for the creation of the membership form (DID YOU GUYS GET THAT

FORM BY THE WAY?) and tracking the nominations that are going on currently. I

am also developing the ballot for SLC as well as creating a rough mission

statement and vision statement for the association (AND IM DEFINITELY INTERESTED

IN FEEDBACK ON THOSE 2 ITEMS).

I'm also the president of our condominium associations board of directors so I

can bring (i hope) some insight into the organization and process for an

association.

Hope you found the info useful and I look forward to meeting all in SLC. rusty

That is correct. Based on the APC's, a new account must be set up for

each day a patient comes in for outpatient visit(s). A separate account

for a same day outpatient visit must be set up if a patient goes to the

ER.

You can have series accounts for PT, etc.

I recently heard that Medicare can't be billed on series or recurring

accounts for typical pre transplant services or for post services. We

typically open an outpatient series account which remains open until

patient comes for the one year follow up visit but was recently

informed

that we should not do this for Medicare patients. I was informed that

for Medicare patients we should not open up series accounts, but

should

instead wait until patient is coming for services and then set up one

time outpatient accounts. Any one know if this is true and if so...

why?

Here we had to change to 30 day series accounts because of date of

service conflicts for Medicare patients.

I believe we do 30 day accounts here also, but you wouldn't want to put

pre-transplant and post transplant on the same account due to the different

reimbursement methods.

Hi Ann Marie,

As far as I know, this is still something that falls under individual consideration for most, if not all, plans. Mass Medicaid did approve 2 of our pt's, but only after the 1st pt went thru the appeal process-that was covered extensively in the press, as you may remember Ann Marie, when it happened about 2 years ago.

Good luck,
