How can Google Health help you?
|
Greetings!
One of the most frustrating things that seniors face is coordinating all their medical records in one place. In fact, I find it frustrating myself. I am often asked by families how a doctor or hospital will know about their family member's conditions if there is an emergency.
As advocates for our clients, we try to help. We put information such as the Living Will, Health Care Surrogate and family contact information on a flash drive that is on a key chain; and we will include medical information if asked. But this is hardly the best way to keep a person's medical record updated.
Until there is a central, secure database, (supposedly part of the "Stimulus Package") I have been suggesting that clients and families check out Google Health. Google allows you to store and manage all your medical information in one central place. It can be accessed anytime from anywhere and allows you to keep your doctors updated, eliminate filling out the same paperwork, have lab and test results at your fingertips and move your records if you change doctors or insurance. And it's free! Check it out at www.google.com/health.
We will be having a free CEU Breakfast Tuesday, March 9 at 8 AM hosted by Aston Gardens in Parkland to learn how to make use of this tool for ourselves, families and clients. If anyone has any special knowledge of Google Health, I would love to have you join in on the program and make it a better success.
This is an exciting topic and we will fill up quickly so please call Tracy at 954-726-6602 to reserve your spot! |

Testimonials
December 17, 2009
Dear Alice,
First we would like to thank you and your staff for your assistance in securing Medicaid approval for my father, Richard P. Shaw, once again. Your office's expertise and connections have been invaluable to us in our hour of need.
We would especially like to tell you that Ada has been very thorough and attentive to detail in all aspects of my father's Medicaid applications. She was the one who straightened out the initial application and finally got an answer on what months were covered and what months were not. Also, Ada was very expedient in our newest challenge with the Department of Children and Families' - the annual review. She contacted us immediately upon receipt last week of the annual Medicaid renewal application and told us what information and documents we needed to gather to complete it. She also obtained a desperately needed extension as they were asking for submittal on DECEMBER 14TH!!!! only a week from receipt of the renewal form. Ada's connections with the Dept. of Children and Families were very valuable in obtaining the extension and expediting the annual Medicaid renewal. In fact, the whole process has been completed today with as little stress on my mother and me as Ada could provide.
Ada has been a pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend her services. She conducts herself in a professional and friendly manner that puts your mind at ease. We look forward to working with her again.
Thanks again for all you do and Happy Holidays!
Sincerely,
Mary Ann Shaw and Rose Mary Shaw

Dear Alice,
Seldom do I have a chance to thank and praise the work that you and your staff do for your clients of which I am fortunately one of those lucky folks. The care and consideration your staff has shown to Joan and I have been exceptional. The stress and strain of being a caregiver for so long had taken a toll on me but you guys have taken all the worry and concern off my 85 year old shoulders. I would like to pay a particular complement to Ada, whose pleasant attitude and genial demeanor has made this part of our lives so much easier to bear. You are indeed lucky and wise to have assembled such a competent staff .Again thank you for helping us in this difficult time of our lives.

Ada,
Just wanted to let you know, I truly appreciate the effort you have put forth for me regarding this situation of trying to establish a new lower payment for my dad for calendar year 2009. You have kept me up to date on all the developments that have transpired involving the DCS, and that has been most comforting. I must say in the 2 ½ years I have been associated with your law firm, I have been extremely pleased with everything Alice and you have done form me. My gut instinct was to choose your law firm because of Alice's ties to New York, and I was absolutely correct.
Thanks again,
Jeff Arbeit
