Rascal® Insurance Services has Added Pennsylvania Medicaid to Its List of Medicaid Affiliations

Rascal® Insurance Services, a division of Electric Mobility Corporation, distributor of the world famous Rascal® powerchair and scooter, announced today that it has added Pennsylvania Medicaid to its list of Medicaid affiliations.

Sewell, NJ (PRWEB) February 3, 2006

Rascal® Insurance Services, a division of Electric Mobility Corporation, distributor of the world famous Rascal® powerchair and scooter, announced today that it has added Pennsylvania Medicaid to its list of Medicaid affiliations.

With Pennsylvania Medicaid, Rascal® Insurance Services now has affiliations with the following state Medicaid plans:

 Alaska  Arizona  Delaware  Hawaii  Idaho  Illinois  Iowa  Kentucky  Louisiana  Maryland  Michigan  Minnesota  Nevada  New Hampshire  New Jersey  Ohio  Oklahoma  Pennsylvania  South Dakota  Texas  Utah  Virginia  Washington (state)  Wisconsin  Wyoming

Medicaid is a program that pays for medical assistance for certain individuals and families with low incomes and resources. This program became law in 1965 and is jointly funded by the Federal and State governments (including the District of Columbia and the Territories) to assist States in providing medical long-term care assistance to people who meet certain eligibility criteria. Medicaid is the largest source of funding for medical and health-related services for people with limited income.

Jeff Mooneyham, a National Insurance Contracting Specialist at Rascal® Insurance Services, says, "Our participation with Medicaid exemplifies our commitment to being the ‘go to’ source for power mobility patients with limited incomes. Good health is important to everyone. If you can't afford to pay for power mobility right now, Medicaid can make it possible for you to get the power mobility that you need. Mobility pays tremendous dividends to both Medicare and Medicare beneficiaries through better overall health and reduced medical expenses."

“We strive to provide the highest level of service in patient care, mobility product innovation, claims processing, and managed care partnerships to best serve all patients,” said Cynthia DeCicco, another Rascal® National Insurance Contracting Specialist.

Rascal® Insurance Services, a division of Electric Mobility Corporation, headquartered in Sewell, New Jersey, has been a pioneer in the mobility marketplace since 1974. It is a national provider of powerchairs and scooters to individuals who rely on Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, and worker's compensation to cover this equipment. Rascal Insurance Services maintains contractual relationships with over 150 managed care and state Medicaid plans.

Electric Mobility Corporation is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations' (JCAHO), one of the nation’s leading healthcare accrediting institutions.

36 Strategies to Combat Telephone Cons Detailed in Consumer Safety Guide

Consumer guide describes popular telemarketing scams and gives strategies on how to avoid being victimized by unscrupulous telephone solicitors.

Tucson, AZ (PRWEB) February 15, 2006

Telephone con artists prey on trusting consumers, bilking them out of millions of dollars each year. To help buyers protect themselves from criminal phone solicitors, Truth Publishing has added a new consumer guide to its popular "Real Safety" series. "The Real Safety Guide to Beating Identity Theft, Con Artists & Credit Fraud" is now available at http://www. truthpublishing. com/RSGIDTheft. html (http://www. truthpublishing. com/RSGIDTheft. html). Written by Mike Adams and Ben Kage, the guide provides effective strategies for thwarting unscrupulous callers who steal money, personal information, and social security numbers.

"It's rare that con artists forcefully take money from people, instead victims willingly give it, thinking that they are going to get something in return," noted Adams. "The aim of this guide is to empower consumers by teaching them to recognize deceptive encounters when they occur and know how to protect themselves."

"The Real Safety Guide to Beating Identity Theft, Con Artists & Credit Fraud" explains:

Why prize offers and travel packages are often a scam What laws telemarketers are bound to follow How to avoid becoming a victim of identity theft over the phone What phone "bill cramming" and "fat-finger dialing" are and how to avoid them How to recognize and stop "call splashing" And many more helpful tips.

For every sale of "The Real Safety Guide to Beating Identity Theft, Con Artists & Credit Fraud" Truth Publishing is donating 50% of net proceeds to Tucson Police Foundation. The foundation is a fundraising organization that assists the Tucson Police Department with the purchase of equipment, training, and programs that are not covered in the annual city budget.

The guide is available as a downloadable or softcover book at http://www. truthpublishing. com/RSGIDTheft. html (http://www. truthpublishing. com/RSGIDTheft. html).

Canada Medicine Mart launches Florida Retail Prescription Drug Challenge

Canada Medicine Mart will match the US retail price of any Florida retail competitor and offer an additional 10% off the customer's first order.

EDMONTON, Alberta (PRWEB) May 28, 2004

Canada Medicine Mart, a leading cross-border pharmacy, today announced the launch of its new 30-day Retail Prescription Drug Challenge. The challenge runs from June 15th, 2004, through July 15th, 2004. It offers Florida residents an alternative means to purchase the higher-priced prescription drugs they may now acquire through major US retail chain outlets, such as Walgreens, Eckerd, CVS, and Rite Aid.

Visitors to the Prescriptionchallenge. com Web site are encouraged to send a copy of their most recent prescription, the prescription's receipt, as provided by Walgreens, Eckerd, CVS, or Rite Aid, and a Canada Medicine Mart prescription order form via the Canada Medicine Mart toll free fax. In the event that the printed prescription cost charged by the US pharmacy is less than the Canada Medicine Mart price, Canada Medicine Mart will match the US retail price and offer an additional 10% off the customer's first order. Commonly, however, the average cost savings of the Canadian prescription over a US prescription is 40-50%.

The Canada Medicine Mart service is geared towards customers who use prescription drugs for the long-term treatment of a variety of conditions. Prescription delivery with the use of this service will occur within 14 days of original order placement. Refill orders can often be processed in 3-5 days.

New Medic Monthly Course Focuses on DNR Orders for Patients with Terminal Illness

New Medic Monthly Course Focuses on DNR Orders for Patients with Terminal Illness

Kaplan Continuing Education’s new Medic Monthly course provides training to First Responders and Paramedics regarding patients with advanced directives and legal DNR orders.

Fort Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) May 26, 2010 —

Kaplan Continuing Education, a leader in online career education, announced today a new Medic Monthly course that focuses on Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) orders for patients with terminal illnesses. The training for first responders and paramedics will cover how to deal with advanced directives and DNR orders (http://www. kaplansolutions. com/news/medic-monthly-dnr-orders).

After participating in this Medic Monthly continuing education course, the healthcare provider will be better able to:

•Explain some key legal features regarding patients with DNR orders;
•Understand the risks when caring for a patient with advanced directives (http://www. kaplansolutions. com/news/medic-monthly-dnr-orders);
Identify the importance of caring for the family of a patient that has a legal DNR order; and •Help a family deal with situations that involve terminal illness.

“Nothing is more difficult than having to stand over a patient and not be able to help revive them. DNR orders are coming up quite frequently with patients that have a terminal illness (http://www. kaplansolutions. com/news/medic-monthly-dnr-orders), and many first responders aren’t sure of how to react in these situations.
