SB1274 Attacks Hawaii's Medicaid Citizens, Insurance Companies Taking More Rights From Hawaii

www.facebook.com SB1274 Attacks Hawaii’s Medicaid Citizens, Insurance Companies Taking More Rights From Hawaii Let’s say that you or a family member is diagnosed with a treatable, but potentially life-threatening condition, and your doctor recommends an approach that your health plan says is “experimental” (not yet FDA-approved). bone marrow transplants are “experimental” for nearly everything, as are most treatments for cancer. … Many life-threatening conditions such as “idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis” (“conditions” because “idiopathic” means no known cause) for which there have not been clinical trials, and diseases such as mucinous adenocarcinoma of the appendix, that are so rare (1:10000000) there will never be clinical trials, so any treatment is “experimental.” I have litigated all of these conditions with health plans. I had one case where the study establishing the treatment as the gold standard came out during the case. HOW DO YOU FIGHT THE DENIAL BY YOUR HEALTH PLAN? ou presently have the right to a hearing before a 3-person panel, including a doctor, plan administrator, and Ins.

How much can I have and get Aid & Attendance? Dallas Elder Law, Medicaid & VA Solutions

SEIU Local 199 and Iowa for Health Care held a Press Conference at the UI Hospitals and Clinics to highlight a new bill that will bring wage increases to nurses across the state. Speakers include SEIU Iowa President, Cathy Glasson; SEIU Iowa Political Director, Sarah Swisher; State Senate Majority Leader, Mike Gronstal; Iowa House Speaker, Pat Murphy; and State Senator Bob Dvorsky. On the last day of Iowa’s legislative session, the Iowa House and Senate passed a historic bill that earmarks this year’s Medicaid provider reimbursement increase to boost nurse wages across the state. This one-percent Medicaid provider reimbursement increase could mean .1 million for Iowa’s RNs, translating to hundreds of dollars per nurse. Beginning to raise nurse wages is a needed step toward solving the state’s drastic nurse shortage. At the rate we are going, Iowa is set to have a shortfall of 9100 RNs by 2020, leaving a 27 percent shortage. Passing this bill proves that Iowa is ready to take on the issue that hits our nurses the hardest: wages. Iowa’s nurses are the lowest wage earners of any state in the country, ranking 52nd in the country, also behind Washington DC and Guam. “While hundreds a year is not a huge pay increase, this bill shows that nurses and policymakers can initiate change that will lead to the recruitment and retention of quality nurses in our state. I am proud that SEIU led this charge and that members and not yet union members are being rewarded,” said SEIU Iowa

Posted on | June 23, 2010 | 1 Comment

Bill Tibbits and members of the Crossroads Urban Center staged a short play at Liberty Park on Tuesday, June 12, titled Leezilla Attacks Anytown, Utah.

Boston Medicaid Planning

Posted on | May 24, 2010 | No Comments

www.briskelderlaw.com Boston Medicaid Planning. Jennifer Duhaime-Baker of the Boston Elder Law Firm of William J. Brisk explains the options of paying for nursing home care, including Medicaid Eligibility under Mass Health. Paying privately for nursing home care can cost as much as 000 per month. That potential cost far outweighs the impact taxes or probate will have on what you can leave to your family. Even when a person is about to enter a nursing home, there is still time to carry out a plan that would allow them to apply for Mass Health benefits without unnecessary delay. Mass Health, the Medicaid program in Massachusetts, not only ensures health care for low income individuals, but is also the primary source of long term care coverage in Massachusetts. But to obtain Mass Health requires the disclosure of up to five years of financial transactions. You must also adhere to strict asset and transfer restrictions. The Law Office of William J. Brisk has been successfully advising families for over 20 years on ways to reduce such costs legitimately. In some cases, we can protect savings for a healthy spouse and provide for children who care for their parents. When you have an advocate like Jennifer Duhaime-Baker working for you, representing your interests, you can safely preserve assets without sacrificing care. http
