Occupational Therapy at Integration Station

Integration Station Pediatric Therapy Services is a wonderful clinic where children can recieve occupational therapy.  I had to the opportunity to visit them today, and they have a wonderful enticing gym with swings, stairs, and much more to assist the disorganized child.  Check them out at 2110 Ben Craig Drive STE 300  Charlotte, NC 28262 or give them a call at 704-595-9363. Their website is MyIntegrationStation.com

NC Tracks

Common problems with providers using NC Tracks:

• not being able to maneuver through billing screens because of flawed code writing
• not being able to add providers to a Company to bill for services rendered
• 90 minute wait times when calling
• webinars do not answer specific questions
• system is faster now but there are times when it slows back down

Governor Pat McCrory and health exchanges for State of NC

"On November 15, 2012, Governor Beverly Perdue (D) declared the state’s intent to establish a state-federal partnership health insurance exchange.¹ However, on February 12, 2013, newly-elected Governor Pat McCrory (R) issued a statement indicating that North Carolina will abandon efforts to establish a partnership exchange and will instead allow the federal government to operate the exchange.² " -Kaiser Family Foundation

I can't wait to see how the biggest insurance company, BCBS, navigates through ACA.
