Please keep sharing....helps reduce stress.........alcohol is nice too...........not enough $ or time to go to camp in the west coast this year!!! :-(M in Western PATo: Sent: Thursday, August 9, 2012 10:34:20 AMSubject: Forgive my rant

I just came to a realization that I wanted to share with you. In land the Medicaid office is full of people that are benignly incompetent (i.e. not necessarily hard working but occasionally try and are nice to talk to you) vs the Medicare contractor (Novitas Solutions) that suffers from a severe case of negligent incompetence (nasty and useless). I need to keep my rant short so I cannot go into the details of how I am in my third submission to become a medicare provider but I will be happy to share a bottle of wine and my fun stories during camp. By the way the State Medicaid office recognizes my voice and knows me by my first name.

frankly I am stressed out of my own mind right now.The state apologized to me for being so bizarre in its rules for new hires(I got a part time  RN) YOu have to  file for unemployment  taxes but cannot until the employee has earned  1500 or worked 20 weeks in a yr but when you file the  quarterly taxes they want your Unemployment number Which  the other agency will not give you becasue somehow someway I am supposed to remember this at 20 weeks or 1500 AND when I tried to file they changed my address to a town called Milo MAine 100 miles away  and when I called they told me not to worry about it!

BUT once you get TO  20 weeks you have TO PAY IT ALL  ANYWAY fo r the whole yr not just for the 21-52 weeks so why not register to begin with???  I now do have my own personal state worker to email and she is keeping track of me She  said the law was written by a blind lawyer(sarcasm)

Then there's patietns who are all unhappy all of them and then there's more providers a re coming here(PCPs) I just do not htink we have the demand!!  and Medicaid is cutting people off and there are letters daily about ACos  and PMCh and so on.People  are needing huge long visits with  thier worries and complexties

 I am off today and just plowed through about 20 faxes  everyone demanding I do this or that for themoy.thanks sorry. Bad bad spell here.

Sounds very stupid. I don’t know if you are using a payroll program but sometimes it “pays” to not have to deal with this strange rules yourself. Go spend some time in your garden!
