| Teen who was set on fire rebuilds life Posted: 10/9/2010 © Sun Sentinel One year after he jumped into a pool to escape when other boys set him on fire, 16-year-old Michael Brewer continues to outpace doctors' predictions in his recovery. He's even gone back to school. |
| PACE slow to arrive but finally here Posted: 10/9/2010 © Tampa Tribune It’s tough for sick or disabled older people to spend days alone and make it to all their doctors' appointments. The Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly offers them a place to enjoy their day and offers the full range of caregivers they need, right where they are. |
| Medicare bids save 1/3 on costs Posted: By Jim Saunders 7/2/2010 © Health News Florida Medicare patients and taxpayers will save more than one-third on home-health equipment costs in South and Central Florida next year because of a new competitive-bidding program, officials said Thursday. But the industry is trying to kill it, with the help of a Florida Congressman. |
| This is an order: Do not resuscitate! Posted: 7/2/2010 © Kaiser Health News Too often, nursing homes or hospitals ignore patients' Living Wills, resuscitating and intubating against the patient's and family's wishes. It helps to have a physician's order in the medical file. FSU is leading an effort in Florida to spread the news. |
| Hospital charges remain mystery Posted: 6/30/2010 © Kaiser Health News More than 30 states, including Florida, make hospital prices public. But that doesn't mean patients can figure out what a procedure will cost ahead of time, let alone get a binding estimate. |
| Unsealed complaint slams WellCare Posted: By Carol Gentry and Mike Wells 6/28/2010 © Health News Florida The whistleblower complaint that launched a federal investigation of WellCare Health Plans four years ago has now been unsealed, portraying a company so heartless it rewarded employees who dumped hundreds of sick newborns and terminally ill patients from the membership rolls. |
| Chance of seeing Medicaid $ dims Posted: By Jim Saunders 6/25/2010 © Health News Florida Florida's chances of receiving up to $1 billion in additional Medicaid money appeared to be in deep trouble Thursday; in other action, the Medicare doctors' pay cut was put off for six months. |
| Posted: By Jim Saunders 5/28/2010 © Health News Florida Gov. Charlie Crist vetoed $371 million from the new state budget today, largely sparing health- and human-services programs. But he immediately raised questions by vetoing millions of dollars for the Shands Healthcare System --- and by trying to prevent rate cuts for nursing homes. |
| Crist bombarded with abortion pleas Posted: By Jim Saunders 5/6/2010 © Health News Florida From the Christian Coalition to the ACLU, groups who oppose or support the bill to require an ultrasound before abortion are waging an e-mail campaign. Meanwhile, doctors protest the intrusion. |
| Managed-care difference 'dramatic' Posted: By Carol Gentry 4/16/2010 © Health News Florida Medicaid patients in traditional fee-for-service care get some services at two to three times the frequency of those who are in managed care, a preliminary state report suggests. What it doesn't say: Is that good or bad? |
