Any medication, look up the medication and then look up the web site. I can't find the Peoples Assistance Program, they have one and they have been advertising it but I can't remember the phone number or the web site at the moment. If i find it I will post it.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/21/business/21cnd-walmart.html?ei=5088 & en=ed55eb93a724172a & ex=1316491200 & adxnnl=1 & partner=rssnyt & emc=rss & adxnnlx=1160658379-0Ynz/wEHeo7v0t+7Kajxew I hope this will kick in soon. Though I think the patient prescription assistance, may help more so. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 I give all my moms superbills, and they (if they choose) bill their insurance. So far I know all the BC/BS moms have been reimbursed because I get a letter back from the insco stating how much they paid -- which every time has been the amount I have billed. Have no clue about other inscos since I don't get letters from them. Jan I had a mom ask me Thursday if I take insurance or bill to insurance. I told her nope – never have, never will. The Reimbursement sucks if they reimburse at all, and getting payment in a timely manner is a joke. Then she asked if I do a Superbill…nope – don’t do those either. In the past 5 yrs I have been asked all of twice for one. Well, that made me think a bit. Maybe I should have a Superbill on hand for those who ask. Then I thought again – I know they were discussed at length here and there – but where would I get one? Thoughts?

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 I charge by the visit too. I've been in practice since 1985, so have a little bit of experince with visits. Most visits run about 1.5 hours. A few are 1 hour, a very few run 2 hours. I have never had a visit go three hours (at least thus far -- never say never, but it has been 26 years) -- mom and baby both shut down by that time. So they average around 1.5 hours, and that is what I base my visit on. I find that if the mom needs to talk, I need to listen without looking at the clock and ticking up the dollars that I am getting for it and mom isn't worried that the extra 15 minutes is going to cost her. But -- YMMV. Jan Hi I am interested in your comment about not charging by the hour but rather by the visit.........I know that different markets will dictate a different rate but do your clients mind that a visit might be an hour in some cases and three hours in others?? no comments on this? charging by the hour doesn't always work in my favour either for a lot of reasons but, of course our circumstances differ.....just looking for your experience on this and how you came to reach this decision. thanks beth Beth McMillan BSC IBCLC Ottawa Canada Re: Insurance I do hand out superbills. it doesn't take much work. I am not happy with Pat 's superbills because they assume a consultation time frame that is way too short from my perspective. I don't want a bill that charges by the hour. I charge by the visit. Furthermore, it lacked many of the diagnostic codes that I use. I was disappointed when I finally looked it up. I don't know what to do know that Carol Follingstad passed away. I'll probably end up doing my own.Best regards, E. Burger, MHS, PhD, IBCLC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
