It's
time to re-enroll in Medicaid as required by the Centers for Medicare
& Medicaid Services
Chief Governmental and Community
Relations Officer
Just a reminder that if you enrolled in Medicaid prior
to Jan. 1, 2013, you are required to re-enroll by March 24, 2016 in
order to stay in the program. This is in accordance with
a new CMS requirement under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
You may begin re-enrollment anytime, but bear in mind
that it can take up to 60 days to get your application
processed. TMA has compiled information in the following link
to help you in this process, including links to the Texas Medicaid
& Healthcare Partnership (TMHP) main provider webpage and
additional guidelines if you enrolled or re-enrolled on or after Jan.
1, 2013.
For local discussion on this and other practice
management topics, consider joining the BCMS Legislative and
Socioeconomics Committee by contacting Mary Nava.

Another BCMS Fishing Trip is the books and it was
another great year fishing. We had some familiar faces out there as
well as some new comers to our little trip. Dr. Mein caught the
largest Redfish (pictured above), but that was far from the largest
fish caught. Some of the other fishermen and women got into some very
large Black Drum, a few were over the 40-inch mark. From what I
hear, that made for some long fights trying to get the fish in the
boat.
The weather was nice and the slight breeze made for a
comfortable day, but also made it a bit of a rough ride out in the
bay. Hope to see you all next year.
Want to go next time? Keep an eye out for info on the
next trip in a future issue of The Weekly Dose.
We want to thank our sponsors for the 2015 BCMS Fishing
Trip: RBFCU Business Solutions (rbfcu.org) and SeeKing HR (seekinghr.com). Without their
continued support and that of the other Circle of Friends sponsors,
events like this would not be possible.
Support
