Info

I want to try and keep everyone updated on clinic stuff...
Kerry Casperson is back with us in Administration, so, if you have seen him around, that is why!

Tina is still with us. She has moved to Colorado but she does things on-line and go on trips or whatever the providers ask her to do. So, we probably won't see her very often, she is still with us.

Our new CT scan is here and running. If the patient has insurance other than Medicare or Medicaid, we need to fill out the order form and give it to billing. They will call their insurance and see if they need to pay anything up front or what their deductible is. They will also find out if a prior authorization needs to be done. If a prior authorization needs to be done, the nurse will have to call. Billing said it is better if we wait to schedule in case the PA doesn't go through or the patient doesn't have the money. We have to do the same thing for MRI as well.

If we have a patient that needs an ultrasound on a day the ultrasound isn't here, we can call Jim and see if they will be passing through.

Colleen is the captain for the Relay for Life team again this year, the TKO's! They have been having little food fundraisers and a money jar in the surgeons area. If you have anything to donate or ideas, I am sure they would love the help.
