ACDL – Arizona Court of Appeals Victory

February 11, 2009 By Administrator

Last week, says the Arizona Center for Disability Law, the Arizona Court of Appeals struck down Arizona’s restrictive denture coverage rules, which required a beneficiary to show more than an inability to chew and eat normally to establish a medical necessity for dentures. In relevant part, the Court found that:

“We hold in this case that AHCCCS exceeded its statutory authority by requiring Sharpe to establish a medical need in addition to the ability to chew. Therefore, to the extent that A.A.C. R9-22-201, Medical Policy 310, and A.A.C. R9-22-101(B) either expressly state or are interpreted to require a medical need in addition to the inability to chew, they are invalid…Based on the factual record before us, the undisputed facts show that dentures here were (1) ordered by a dentist, and (2) medically necessary.”

Our client is a 32-year old woman with a disability who has severely decayed teeth and needs all of her teeth removed and whose primary care and dentist have recommended dentures as medically necessary.

How to do Social Networking, Run a Business & Still Have a Life

October 21, 2008 By Administrator

Publicity Hound, Joan Stewart discovered a brilliant way to help business people understand social networking while still having a life: On November 6, she’ll be interviewing my friend and colleague, BL Ochman at a teleseminar called “How to do Social Networking, Run a Business & Still Have a Life.”

Join Joan on November 6 for a 70-minute teleseminar and hear Ochman explain how she rations her time, uses a variety of social networking tools, and still manages to set aside a huge chunk of her schedule each day for client projects. She’ll also explain how she’ll use social networking to launch a new business.

Will Judy be there? Absolutely. Wouldn’t miss this for anything.

Employees: How do we keep the best? Part 1

October 16, 2008 By Administrator

By Guest Columnist Anne Caldwell
President, Outsourcing Solutions
In a job market like the current one, attracting and retaining the best help is challenging. The key to finding and keeping good employees is creating an environment in which they would want to work.

Comprehensive Benefits Package
Start by providing a benefits package that is comprehensive. There are many good plans for medical and dental, plus other benefits you can make available at a good rate with little or no cost to you. Some of these include the following:

• Legal plans
• Pet insurance
• Employee assistance plans
• Vision care
• Credit union memberships
• Auto club discounts.

By providing the vendor with a pool of employees, you automatically qualify for group rates, which are paid by the employees who want the benefit.

Define Performance Expectations
Next, make sure that you are defining performance expectations. Nothing enhances an employee’s chances for success more than being clear about what is expected of them. Knowing where they stand, and what they need to do to increase their compensation or be considered for a promotion provides a powerful incentive to stay.

Be certain that you are acknowledging the efforts that people make. When employees feels like their contribution is noticed and appreciated, it solidifies their connection with the company.

I often ask management groups to close their eyes and remember a time when they felt that their efforts were entirely understood and totally acknowledged. It usually takes them some time to come up with something, but when they do, it’s a vivid memory. This tells us:

1. That it doesn’t happen very often
2. That it feels so good, we remember it for years

Remind Your Staff That You Appreciate Them
Why not make it part of your routine to remind your staff that you appreciate their contribution? Be specific. Don’t just tell them they did a good job. Tell them how effective it was that they found such an innovative way to turn that irate customer into a satisfied, even delighted one.

I often suggest to skeptics to try it for a month as though they really see the value, and they are often surprised with the result.
