January 26, 2012Year End and IRS Forms
January 23, 2012Year End comes every 365 days. For many, it sneaks upon them very quickly each and every year. Many people don’t plan ahead for tax time, yet if you are diligent and do the necessary steps in bite size chunks, tax time will not be a nightmare for you. In order to evade the nightmare, you must plan ahead. To plan ahead, that means you must be diligent to complete the steps required and be aware of what forms are needed on both a state and federal level.
Are you ready to file your IRS Forms for the previous calendar year? Once you have all your data together you are ready to file your forms. Today, I want to share with you a resource to assist you with the forms needed. These forms may be purchased by many vendors. However, did you know that you can order them from the IRS for free? Yes! It takes planning ahead, but you can order them here. You can also search www.irs.gov to get instructions on the forms you need to file on a federal level.
What other free resources do you utilize for your accounting and tax filing purposes?

Medical Necessity means just what?
January 16, 2012When an Insurance Carrier processes a claim and denies for this does not meet Medical Necessity, what do they mean by that?
The term “Medically Necessary” or “Medical Necessity” is defined as a health care services that a Provider, exercising prudent clinical judgment, would provide to a patient for the purpose of evaluating, diagnosing or treating an illness, injury, disease or its symptoms, and that are in accordance with generally accepted standards of medical practiced; clinically appropriate in terms of type, frequency, extent, site and duration, and considered effective for the patient’s illness, injury or disease; and not primarily for the convenience of the patient or Physician, or other Physician, and not more costly than an alternative service or sequence of services at least as likely to produce equivalent therapeutic or diagnostic results as to the diagnosis or treatment of that patient’s illness, injury or disease.
Ultimately the medical record from the Physician or Healthcare Providers documented notes along with an appeal letter to specifically outline the reasons for Medical Necessity in regards to the patient’s case, are the only way to substantiate a case against a denial by an Insurance Company. If the claim is still denied by the Insurance Company, you can attempt a 2nd or 3rd Level Appeal with the Medical Review Board.

Keys to Achieving Your Goals
January 9, 2012Another year and another set of resolutions. If you’re like most Americans, you’ll probably forget your goals by mid-February. So how do you make your resolutions actually happen this year?
First, keep in mind that goals are dreams; but don’t stop at just dreaming. Turn your dreams into bite-sized pieces that will gradually create a big event in your life. If you’re waiting on an outside variable to change your life, you have a long wait. You have to do something. It’s your responsibility to fix your life, not someone else’s. It’s time to sit down, make some goals, and take control.
Goal setting is how you win. Once you’ve made your resolutions, they will drive you forward. The goals will motivate you to seek activities that will help you succeed. It’s not always fun, but those exercises bring you closer to your goal and make you a winner.
If you want to actually achieve your goals this year, then consider the following:
1.Be specific.
When setting goals, be specific in what you want to achieve. Vagueness will only cause you to feel overwhelmed, and you will just give up.
2.Make your goals measureable.
In order to know if you achieved the goal, it must be measurable. For example, if you want to lose weight, don’t simply write down “lose weight” as a goal. How much weight do you want to lose? Or don’t just write “spend more time with family.” How much time do you want to spend with your family every night?
3.Are they your goals?
Only you can set your own goals. If your spouse, co-worker or friend sets a goal for you, you’re not going to achieve it. Taking ownership will give you more incentive to meet your goal.
4.Set a time limit.
Setting a time frame will help you set realistic goals. For example, if you want to save more money, list how much money a month you want to put into your savings account.
5.Put them in writing.
Putting your goals in writing will make you much more likely to achieve them. Write down your goals and review them often. This will give you motivation to make them a reality.
This is the process to succeed. Successful people reassess their lives and then start living intentionally, in writing, on paper, on purpose. Make your resolutions a reality in this year!
