With uncertainty in everyday life, having an
experienced physicians, managers and
surgery center operators like Medical Director Dr Alexander Zaks
knowledge and expertise to navigate the complexities of California’s workers’
compensation system makes all the difference in medical treatment provided. The
staff at <a href="http://www.alexzaks.com/" target="_blank">Alex Zaks</a>' surgery center
facilities are conscious of the obligation to insure patients are treated with
the proper care, respect and fairness. Alexander Zaks M.D. does not operate,
manage or direct under the constraints of an provider networks to treat patients according to
their medical needs and not the interests of an insurance carrier’s
profitability that some medical providers, who are part of a Medical Provider
Network, may have in reducing treatment costs.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Neither Dr. Zaks nor the physicians with whom he
works over-treat patients Dr. Zaks is focused
on ensuring that patient’s rights are protected under applicable workers’
compensation laws while balancing the interests of employers and insurance
companies.<o:p></o:p><br />

<b>Employer Health Care Insurance
in California <o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
Health care fraud is commonly associated with claims
fraud committed by workers’ compensation patients who exaggerate their injuries
or <a href="http://www.ca-provider.com/" target="_blank">medical providers of California</a> who fraudulently bill insurers for expensive procedures
that were never performed. However, fraud can also be committed by any of the
many participants in the health care system, including employers, who have already
developed an array of tactics to corrupt the workers’ compensation insurance
system.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
• Misclassification:<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi16hMv-YwglKiz-cgtRYfxselt0c3sjMCPlznFubF36litgkr2qi_LpxD9m6DBrCxkcJ6FxMazGwQc6Kll3n2BnB3gILS6jhiPaZ_am-JVL5S-RAzdAW2Aw8o0AhfTfnVnj0BAimG23TXF/s1600/Misclassification.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi16hMv-YwglKiz-cgtRYfxselt0c3sjMCPlznFubF36litgkr2qi_LpxD9m6DBrCxkcJ6FxMazGwQc6Kll3n2BnB3gILS6jhiPaZ_am-JVL5S-RAzdAW2Aw8o0AhfTfnVnj0BAimG23TXF/s1600/Misclassification.jpg" height="199" width="200" /></a></div>
Employer’s workers’ compensation insurance rates
are based on several factors, including the percentage of employees in
high-risk jobs. As an example of misclassification, employers will fix their
records to show heavy equipment operators as office clerks, a relatively safe
job with substantially lower workers’ compensation premiums. According to a
study from the University of California Berkeley, employers in high-risk
industries in California may hide up to 75% of their payroll, or about 100
billion dollars, in the most dangerous jobs sectors. The study found that this
misclassification fraud forces other employer’s workers’ compensation insurance
premiums up to 800% more than if all workers were classified accurately. <br />
<br />
• Off-the-books payments:<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Another form of employer insurance fraud involves
companies that pay employees in cash or falsely categorize an employee as an
independent contractor, keeping the employees off the books so that the
company’s records show fewer employees to secure lower workers’ compensation
premiums. According to research from Harvard University, these off-the-book
payments cost the state of Massachusetts 100 million dollars a year in <a href="http://www.insurancewontpay.org/" target="_blank">unpaid workers’ compensation</a> premiums. The study showed that one in seven construction
workers in Massachusetts is hired off the books or fraudulently classified as
an independent contractor.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4p-9Ao-MkOs3_NpET5ghb0O2CtHsY1BSs0_ym63Fu93L-YEbYgEWwS4wN9OK1o01dQQXg3pkEPB8VoM0paNKdail2UDgXfsjLAYaVzeY95u7UueFj2vV_skbHUQNN2u-3wfoWTIr3fmAj/s1600/Workerscomp-payment.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4p-9Ao-MkOs3_NpET5ghb0O2CtHsY1BSs0_ym63Fu93L-YEbYgEWwS4wN9OK1o01dQQXg3pkEPB8VoM0paNKdail2UDgXfsjLAYaVzeY95u7UueFj2vV_skbHUQNN2u-3wfoWTIr3fmAj/s1600/Workerscomp-payment.jpg" /></a></div>
Another fraudulent scheme hatched by employers is failing to carry workers'
compensation insurance altogether. In this case, the employer thinks they
are better off financially to eliminate the cost of insurance premiums, taking
the risk that the state will investigate and discover the fraudulent and illegal
lack of insurance coverage. If a worker is injured on the job in this scenario,
the cost of care falls to the public insurance system, while the state must go
through a lengthy legal process to recover costs from an employer. <br />
<br />
Penalties for such fraud vary by state, ranging anywhere from a temporary order
for the business to stop operations until it complies with the workers’
compensation insurance requirement, to a permanent closure of the business.<o:p></o:p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13957402126751709184noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-667295959328871652.post-62627981539877413022014-04-29T11:00:00.000-07:002014-05-31T19:00:15.645-07:00California Medical Provider Networks<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Audits by the state of California found a repeated pattern of underutilization at Western Dental Services, with procedures that typically require multiple visits performed all at once and using inferior quality materials, compressing the cost of treatment also providing a substandard level of medical service for patients. The state found that the underutilization fraud stemmed from Western Dental’s method of compensating dentists in its provider network.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
According to the General Accounting Office, 1 out of every
10 dollars in health care is lost to fraud, more than 100 billion a year. A report
prepared by the California Research Bureau, at the request of the California
State Senate, titled; '<i><span style="color: black; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;"><a href="http://www.library.ca.gov/crb/97/13/97013.pdf">Fraud and Abuse in the Health Care
Market of California</a>'</span>,</i> found that while the media’s coverage of
workers’ compensation fraud focuses on false claims fraud for workers seeking
treatment for non-existent injuries and unscrupulous medical providers billing
insurers for services that were never performed, it largely ignores the problem
of insurance fraud in the private sector that accounts for more than 60 percent
of health care expenditures.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>• False statement</b><br />
This form of fraud occurs when false information is supplied for an individual
or collective gain and can be utilized by all participants in the workers’
compensation insurance system: an employee, employer, health care provider or
insurance company.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>• Bribery and Self-Referrals</b><br />
In this case patients are channeled to a specific <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/living-free-of-chronic-pain-dr-alexander-zaks-comments">medical provider</a> in exchange
for a kickback or patients are referred to a treatment facility that is owned

<strong>Dr. Alexander Zaks Believes Pain Isn’t Part of the Healing Process</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
Dr. Alexander Zak’s interest in <a data-mce-href="http://www.ca-provider.com/" href="http://www.ca-provider.com/" title="CA Providors for Pain Management">pain management</a> began early in life. He’s always focused on figuring out how to help patients with severe pain. He doesn’t believe patients should just grin and bear the pain. His undergraduate degree focused on psychology and biology. These majors aided his knowledge of the human body and how pain affects people. Dr Alexander Zaks continued his education at the Georgetown University School of Medicine.<br />

It was during his post-graduate training, where Dr. A Zaks acquired additional understanding of pain management. During his medical and anesthesiology residencies, he treated patients in pain from chronic and acute medical conditions.<br />
<br />
However, Alexander wasn’t satisfied with his medical knowledge he gained from those residencies. To help patients he knew he had to learn more about relieving and reducing painful symptoms. So, he completed a pain management fellowship at the University of Southern California Hospital Medical Center.<br />
<br />
Dr. Alexander Zaks still wasn’t satisfied with his pain treatment knowledge or <a data-mce-href="http://www.workers-comp-cases.com/" href="http://www.workers-comp-cases.com/" title="Workers Comp Cases">medical understanding</a>. <br />
<br />

Of course, Dr. Alexander Zaks knew to fully help his patients he must continue his medical education and lifelong learning through these memberships:<br />
<br />
• California Society of Anesthesiologists<br /> • American Society of Anesthesiologists<br /> • American Medical Association<br />
<br />
<strong>Patients Trust Dr. Alexander Zaks</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
As a pain management specialist, Dr. Alex Zaks believes patients are more than a name on a medical chart. Patients are the only one who can feel their pain.<br />
<br />
Dr. Alexander Zaks MD is the type of pain management Doctor who listens to his patients as they describe their pain symptoms.<br />
<br />
This helps him to determine the best pain management treatment for each patient. Whether a patient has back pain, arthritis relief or spinal pain, Dr. Alexander Zaks always works to determine the best course of pain treatment. This is why patients, whether they have workers’ comp or health insurance trust Dr. Zaks. He doesn’t treat insurance companies… Dr. Alexander Zaks MD treats patients in pain.<br />

Each day he wants to fulfill the mission of treating and care for the patient,
not his or her illness or chronic pain. At Georgetown, he learned to listen to

patients don’t always volunteer vital information. He also learned to use
patient information to find the best course of treatment.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>In addition, he’s learned from his years of school at Georgetown University

Obesity<br />
<br />
Studies show that in developed countries, body weight and body mass<br />
index (BMI) tend to increase until the age of 60, at which point they either<br />
remain stable or decrease slowly, from 0 to 0.6 kg/yr [18]. In the elderly,<br />
there is a decrease in daily total energy expenditure secondary to less physical<br />
activity and decreased metabolic rate. Population studies in a 70-yearold<br />
cohort indicate that 18% are obese (BMIR30), and 40% are overweight<br />
<br />
<br />
(BMI 25–29.9) [18a]. The majority in the obese group were women, whereas<br />
the majority in the overweight group were men. Overweight has not consistently<br />
been found to increase mortality. Visceral adiposity, and not BMI measurements,<br />
may be a better prediction of mortality. But compared with their<br />
normal weight cohorts, those who have a BMI of 25 or greater had substantially<br />
higher rates of diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, and osteoarthritis.<br />
The American Heart Association has upgraded obesity from a contributing<br />
risk factor to a major modifiable risk factor for CHD [19].<br />
Anesthetic implications for the obese elderly may be divided into three<br />
areas: (1) issues such as intravenous access, airway management, and reduced<br />
functional residual capacity that are similar to those for any obese<br />
age group; (2) diseases associated with obesity and their end-organ damage,<br />
especially type 2 diabetes and CHD; and (3) accurate blood pressure measurement.<br />
The threshold for placement of an intra-arterial catheter for accurate<br />
blood pressure measurement should be very low.<br />

Metabolic syndrome<br />
<br />
Most of the diseases of aging develop much earlier in life. They have their<br />
roots in genetic makeup, unhealthy habits acquired when young, and environmental<br />
influences. They smolder along subclinically in middle age, only<br />
to become clinically manifest in old age. Thus good health in old age depends<br />
on preventive treatment in middle age and earlier. The emergence<br />
of the metabolic syndrome as a distinct entity is a classic example [3]. It is<br />
a constellation of abnormalities that commonly occur together in middle<br />
age and increase the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease<br />
in old age. The presence of three of the five following measurements defines<br />
the metabolic syndrome: (1) abdominal obesity (waist circumferenceO<br />
40 in for men andO35 in for women), (2) insulin resistance with high fasting<br />
blood glucose (O110 mg/dL), (3) elevated triglycerides, (4) low levels of<br />
high-density lipoprotein (HDL or ‘‘good cholesterol’’), and (5) hypertension.<br />
The three major treatment approaches for the metabolic syndrome<br />
are: (1) from the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment<br />
Panel III (NCEP ATP III), reducing obesity and increasing physical activity;<br />
(2) from the World Health Organization (WHO), administration of insulin<br />
sensitizers, thiazolidinediones or ‘‘glitazones’’ such as pioglitazone or rosiglitazone<br />
; and (3) from emerging research that inflammation plays a major<br />
role and that remodeling is possible, statins, angiotensin-converting enzyme<br />
(ACE) inhibitors, and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs).<br />

ROPIVACAINE<br />
<br />
Ropivacaine has been looked to as a potentially useful alternative<br />
to bupivacaine, with touted advantages being a greater degree of differential<br />
blockade and reduced potential for cardiac toxicity. Regarding the<br />
latter, using modern techniques of labor epidural analgesia (fractionated<br />
administration of small doses of local anesthetic / opioid solutions), the<br />
risk of systemic toxicity, and much less cardiac toxicity, is essentially<br />
nonexistent. Even with administration of larger doses of bupivacaine<br />
(100 mg) for cesarean section, systemic toxicity is effectively prevented<br />
by the use of a test dose (including markers of intravascular injection)<br />
and fractionated administration of the therapeutic dose. Regarding differential<br />
blockade, studies in obstetric patients have not yet borne out<br />
any advantage of ropivacaine over bupivacaine. The two drugs produce<br />
clinically indistinguishable analgesic effects when administered intrathecally62<br />
or epid~ral ly6~9, ~, lo8 for labor analgesia. It is not yet clear<br />
whether slight advantages of epidural ropivacaine over bupivacaine<br />
with regard to mode of delivery and early neonatal behavior scores<br />
reported by a few investigator^^^, lo8 are of any clinical significance.<br />
Slight differences have been observed when administered epidurally for<br />
cesarean section. At equal doses and concentrations, ropivacaine 0.5%<br />
produced a slightly shorter duration of intense motor blockz6, 29 and<br />
better maintained uterine artery blood flow on the placental side, compared<br />
with bupivacaine. It remains to be determined whether there are<br />

Spinal Versus Epidural Anesthesia for Cesarean<br />
Section<br />
<br />
Spinal anesthesia has supplanted epidural as the regional anesthetic<br />
of choice for cesarean section in North America. Perceived advantages<br />
include simplicity of technique, rapid administration and onset, reduced<br />
risk of systemic toxicity, and density of anesthetic block. A single prospective<br />
randomized trial has confirmed only minor advantages of spinal<br />
over epidural anesthesia. In a comparison of epidural lidocaine/<br />
epinephrine / fentanyl versus spinal bupivacaine / fentanyl, the latter produced<br />
faster onset, more intense motor block, and slightly better intraoperative<br />
analgesia.30 There were no differences in side effects, postoperative<br />
assessments of intraoperative pain, or satisfaction. A recent<br />
retrospective study has challenged the long-held belief that spinal anesthesia<br />
should be avoided in severe preeclamptics due to potentially<br />
hazardous hemodynamic Unfortunately, sigruficant differences<br />
in the groups compared (epidural versus spinal) due to selection bias<br />
limit conclusions regarding the comparative safety of spinal and epidural<br />
anesthesia in severely hypertensive preeclamptics.<br />

BLOOD LOSS AND THROMBOEMBOLISM<br />
<br />
Epidural anesthesia, when compared to general anesthesia, has been<br />
associated with a decrease in intraoperative blood loss during orthopedic,<br />
urologic, gynecologic, and obstetric procedures. When lumbar epidural<br />
analgesia with bupivacaine has been extended into the postoperative<br />
period after total hip replacement, ostoperative blood loss has also<br />
with EAA are presumed to be (1) a decrease in mean arterial pressure,<br />
(2) redistribution of blood flow away from the operative site to other<br />
tissues, and (3) a decrease in venous pressure due to the elimination of<br />
positive pressure ventilation. These mechanistic factors can probably<br />
only be achieved with epidural local anesthetic administration. Avoidance<br />
of intubation and positive pressure ventilation probably plays a<br />
critical role in decreased blood loss with epidural anesthesia in pelvic<br />
urologic and gynecologic surgeries.<br />
<br />
Lumbar epidural anesthesia for total hip replacement has been<br />
definitively shown to reduce the incidence of deep vein thrombosis and<br />
even pulmonary embolism.34 Moreover, Sharrock et a139 conducted a<br />
large retrospective review of in-hospital mortality after total hip and<br />
total knee arthroplasty to determine whether changes in anesthesia care<br />
from GA to predominantly epidural anesthesia were associated with<br />
changes in mortality rates. They found a significant reduction in mortality<br />
due to pulmonary emboli with a change from general anesthesia<br />
(0.39% mortality; 23 of 5874 patients) to epidural anesthesia (0.1% mortality;<br />
10 of 9685 patients; P = 0.0003). Mechanistic factors involved in<br />
preventing the development of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and subsequent<br />
pulmonary embolism include sympathetic blockade resulting in<br />
increased blood flow to the lower extremities, as well as prevention of<br />
the hypercoagulable condition seen with general anesthesia and preservation<br />
of baseline fibrinolysis.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13957402126751709184noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-667295959328871652.post-86666645982427011792012-10-13T04:02:00.005-07:002012-10-13T04:02:50.288-07:00DEFINING SURGICAL OUTCOME<br />
DEFINING SURGICAL OUTCOME<br />
<br />
For the purposes of this discussion, we can break down surgical<br />
outcome into the following categories: (1) cardiovascular morbidity<br />
(2) pulmonary morbidity, (3) neuroendocrine stress response, (4) immune<br />
system dysfunction, (5) intraoperative blood loss, (6) thromboembolism,<br />
(7) return of bowel function, (8) length of hospitalization and healthcare<br />
costs, (9) development of chronic pain syndromes, and (10) mortality.<br />
Discussion of the potential role of neural blockade techniques in preventing<br />
chronic pain syndromes is beyond the scope of this article.<br />
Suffice it to say that there is a growing body of animal model and<br />
human clinical evidence to suggest that neural blockade techniques<br />
administered throughout the perioperative period have the greatest potential<br />
to reduce the incidence and severity of development of chronic<br />
pain syndromes after certain surgical procedures, such as phantom limb<br />
pain after amputation.' The major emphasis of the remainder of this<br />
article will be on the role of EAA in cardiovascular morbidity, pulmonary<br />
morbidity, and gastrointestinal motility, with brief discussions of the<br />
neuroendocrine stress response, thromboembolism and blood loss, a d<br />
immune system dysfunction.<br />

BENEFITS OF IV-PCA<br />
<br />
The benefits of IV-PCA are best summarized in a meta-analysis of<br />
randomized controlled trials published by Ballantyne et a12 in 1993.9 This<br />
meta-analysis assimilated data from 15 randomized controlled trials<br />
involving 787 adults undergoing various operative procedures comparing<br />
IV-PCA versus IM injections. These data demonstrate greater analgesic<br />
efficacy with IV-PCA: 5.6 on a scale of 0 to 100 mm (P=0.006).<br />
Although this is not a huge difference in analgesic efficacy, I suspect<br />
that if pain scores were assessed more frequently, a greater difference<br />
might be demonstrated. Also, pain scores were assessed at rest and not<br />
with mobilization. The greatest advantage of IV-PCA over IM injections<br />
demonstrated in this meta-analysis was greater patient satisfaction: 42%<br />
difference between satisfaction versus dissatisfaction (P = 0.002); however,<br />
this meta-analysis did not demonstrate any difference in analgesic<br />
use, length of hospital stay, or occurrence of any side effects. We can<br />
conclude from this meta-analysis that IV-PCA provides better analgesia<br />
and greater satisfaction in comparison to IM opioids, but there is little<br />
rationale nor scientific evidence to suggest that IV-PCA improves outcome.<br />
