Due to Hurricane Wilma, we have lost power to our offices. We are being
told to expect to be out for 1 month. Our phones are also down and obtaining
gas is extremely difficult. I am in Palm Beach county but this is the story
for the entire South 1/3 part of the state. Please ask Medicare to suspend the
probe audits and expedite our payments like they did for the Katrina
disaster. We are struggling to treat hospital emergent care patients at this time.
I would like to pay my 10 employees during this time but am not sure how
long I can do that. If Medicare would stop the Audits, expedite payments etc, I
should be able to pay my staff.
I was able to send this message via hospital Internet. Please call
Medicare for all of us in South Florida.
Thank You,
