Community Calendar & News BriefsPATIENT ADVOCATESERVICES, INC. – Strivingto Help Patients with HealthInsurance and MedicalBilling Problems

Patient Advocate Services, Inc.(PASi), a local 501(c)(3) non-profit,was founded by Kim Petro McCrumafter experiencing many of the prob-lems common to patients dealing withthe health care systems. The non-profit was formed to improve the ex-perience of patients overwhelmed byillness and medical bills.

The US has a very complicatedmedical billing system - with 68,000different codes that are both compli-cated and time consuming for anyonetrying to understand the complexities.Eighty percent of medical bills that aregenerated by medical providers con-tain errors, according to MedicalBilling Advocates of America and 60percent of all bankruptcies are due tomedical bills, according to NerdWal-let, and out of that 60 percent, 70 per-cent have health insurance.

The US healthcare system, ac-cording to the World Health Organi-zation, ranks 37th in quality ofhealthcare, but ranks in at number twofor having one of the most expensivehealthcare systems.

PASi strives to provide assistanceto patients of all ages, their familiesand caregivers, in managing theirmedical bills and providing referrals topatients who need specialized adviceor assistance. Even though the Af-fordable Care Act has attempted toaddress some of the deficiencies in thehealthcare system, it has fallen short ofcorrecting many of the problems thatfrustrate patients and continue toforce others into bankruptcy.

PASi Introduces Wellness Program A Mayo Clinic study showed that

70 percent of Americans take at leastone prescription drug on a regularbasis, while 50 percent take two ormore. In addition to PASi's primarygoal of helping patients with medicalbilling problems and referrals, it alsostrives to promote good health and ahealthy lifestyle. To this end, PASi re-cently introduced a member-basedwellness program. Membership in thePASi Wellness Program entitles mem-bers to take advantage of a variety ofholistic and/or alternative treatments.There is a perfect opportunity comingup to find out more in person:

PASi invites you to its WellnessProgram Meet & Greet on Febru-ary 24th at 6:30 p.m., which isbeing held at Trinity Ultimate Fit-ness, located at 11108 ChallengerAvenue in Odessa, FL.

PASi's desire to help individualsimprove their health by participating inthe Wellness Program stems from thehope that by improving health, we canall rely less on the healthcare system.

Working tirelessly to accomplishthe goals of PASi is President KimPetro McCrum, along with the newlyelected Board, Vice-President DaynaStiteler, Treasurer Charlene Finerty,Secretary Sandra Petro Hart, and Di-rectors-at-Large, Chet Pietras andRenee Mays. The team at PASi strivesto promote and improve the WellnessProgram, along with the other servicesoffered. Working to utilize their variedareas of expertise – including account-ing, nursing, insurance and business –the PASi team helps patients under-stand complex and often confusingmedical invoices, Explanation of Bene-fit forms, reimbursement forms andother documents, so that PASi canprovide the best advice and referrals tohelp patients, families and caregiverswhen contacting medical providers, fa-cilities and hospitals. PASi helps pa-tients with problems such as billingerrors, overcharging, double charges,and services billed but not provided,as well as where and how to obtainspecialized services depending on indi-vidual need.

Tampa Teens Organize Charity Art Showcase Of Their PeersTwo Tampa high school seniors

have set out to recognize the artistictalent of their peers and raise fundsfor a worthy cause in the process.

After touring the finest art mu-seums in Europe last summer with agroup led by his art history teacher,Matt Cannella, a Plant High senior,founded Artists in Action because hesaw how art “deeply moved themasses across continents”. Althoughhe’s not an artist himself, his love forart motivated him to inspire others inthe same way that he was inspiredwhen he visited places like the Lou-vre and Uffizi Gallery. A 3rd genera-tion Tampa native Cannella haschosen to inspire those in his ownbackyard – right here in Tampa. Can-nella even retired from his highschool football career so he couldconcentrate on producing an inaugu-ral teen artist showcase and give backto the community.

Cannella has teamed up withHadley Chillura, a senior at theAcademy of the Holy Names, whojust so happens to be an accom-plished artist. Chillura has been ex-pressing herself through art herwhole life and feels that art gives her-self a unique voice. She says she hasno calling in writing or singing, butcan “write through her brushstrokesand sing through her use of color”.

The teens are putting togetherthis fabulous showcase to give a di-verse group of artists the chance tospeak to the community throughtheir art. The Artists in Action char-ity fundraiser will be held Friday,February 19th, from 6pm to9:30pm at the historic 1901 An-derson House in Hyde Park, lo-cated at 341 South Plant Avenue.The perfect place to host this ex-traordinary event, the 1901 Ander-

son House is one of Tampa’s last andfinest examples of Queen Anne archi-tecture and is designated on the U.S.National Registry of Historic Places.Most of the work will be displayed inthe mansion’s 3rd story ballroom.Net proceeds from the $12 ticketsales will benefit the CommunityFoundation of Tampa Bay. TheCommunity Foundation will earmarkthe funds to benefit the arts. Lightrefreshments will also be served.

So far, 14 teen artists represent-

ing a variety of mediums, includingpainting, photography, sculpture andmore, have committed to participate.The artists come from a variety ofschools across Tampa Bay, such asAcademy of the Holy Names, Berke-ley Prep, Jesuit, Plant, Robinson, andTampa Catholic.

Cannella and Chillura want oth-ers to know that art is important andessential. They want to leave theirlegacy of art appreciation when theygraduate in May, hoping this will be-

come an annual event. The Artists in Action charity

fundraiser will be held Friday,February 19th, from 6pm to9:30pm at the historic 1901 An-derson House in Hyde Park, lo-cated at 341 South Plant Avenuein Tampa.

Local Teachers Need Your Help! Bless Baby Bennett!

Born on June 15, 2015, BennettRohrbacker is a gift to this world.Born with many special needs, how-ever, at two weeks old, Bennett wasdiagnosed with 18q Deletion Syn-drome, which is a genetic deletion onthe 18th chromosome. Due to thisdeletion, he spent the first 8 weeks ofhis life with both of his legs in castsbecause of a foot malformation, andwill be undergoing surgery to correcthis right foot in a few months.

In addition to this syndrome,Bennett has also been diagnosed withhypotonia, or low muscle tone. Hetakes several medications each day:one for hypothyroidism; one for py-lori spasm (a condition that preventshis stomach from emptying properly);and a cream for his eczema. He alsohas an aberrant right subclavian ar-tery, where his right subclavian arterypasses by his esophagus.

Bennett’s parents, local Tampateachers Natalia and Craig

Rohrbacker, have done an amazingjob of giving Bennett and his older, 2-year old brother Rowan all the loveand attention they need. They haveshown unending patience with bothan infant who cries frequently and anenergetic two-year-old boy – not tomention all of the students they workwith each day. They have an unshak-able faith in God, which is how theyget their strength each day.

Most recently, Bennett was foundto have moderate hearing loss in hisright ear and profound hearing loss inhis left ear. His hearing loss will re-quire assistive hearing devices for bothears – which insurance does not cover.These are just some of the difficultieschildren with 18q Deletion Syndrometend to face, along with a possibility ofautism and other developmental de-lays. With each specialist visit comesfifty-dollar co-pay plus additional,medical costs.

Due to these expensive medical

costs, Bennett’s godmother Julie isasking for your help. She says, “Iwould love to be able to take some ofthe worry off of their shoulders byproviding them with money for Ben-nett’s hearing devices, as well as all ofhis other current and future medicalcosts. Natalia and Craig are truly ablessing to baby Bennett. I am hopingthat others will want to give them

blessings back – in the form of prayersand finances if you are able. Thankyou for listening and God bless!”

A huge animal lover, Terri Mostfounded Heavenly Paws as a way tohelp those in the community copewith the loss of their cherished com-panion. Terri says, “Over the years wehave lost pets in our family and thinkthere is a huge need for our services inthe Tampa Bay area. We are big ani-mal lovers, and wanted to providesomething to the community whereevery family could afford to have theircompanion returned to them, without financially breaking the bank. Weall go though different stages of ourlives, where money is tight. Even if itis a single parent with three kids, wewant to be able to give them the sameopportunity to have what everybodyelse can have at an affordable price; toknow that they are being taken careof. These pet owners are goingthrough a difficult time in their lives;they need to feel at ease.”

Terri runs Heavenly Paws withthe help of her sister Sherry, daughterBrittany and staff. Together they pro-vide a welcoming, homey environ-ment, where guests can feel relaxedand at ease.

Using a peaceful, gentle and re-spectful cremation process calledAquamation, Heavenly Paws will helpyou honor your pet in hopes of pro-viding you with some peace and clo-sure in your time of despair.

In addition to providing a moretranquil means of cremation, Aquama-tion also uses up to 95% less energythan that of a fire cremation, so it isalso very environmentally friendly.And, by keeping energy costs low, thisallows Heavenly Paws to be able tooffer such affordable pricing. Terrisays, “Originally patented in 1888, ithas only been in the past 20 years that,with advances in technology, Aquama-tion has been made available to thepublic, and we are proud to be the firstto offer this service to the public inTampa. Instead of clunky, discoloredremains – which is quite often whatyou will get with a typical fire crema-tion – with Aquamation, the remainscome out similar to white beach sand.”

At Heavenly Paws they stand bytheir commitment of respecting yourpet, and thus, each pet is crematedseparately, guaranteeing your pet’sashes will never be mixed with thosefrom another pet. This means that theashes you receive will be 100% fromyour pet and no one else’s!

Even if you choose to have acommunal cremation, each pet is stillcremated in an individual chamber,

ensuring the ashes will remainunadulterated.
