Pictures include staff members, client survivors, former clients, Board Members, volunteers, and friends who we feel are part of our family... and these photos are absolutely not all-inclusive! 

We are family, I got all my sisters with me!
We are family, Get up ev'rybody and sing!
Ev'ryone can see we're together As we walk on by.
and we fly just like birds of a feather, I won't tell no lie!
all of the people around us they say, Can they be that close?
Just let me state for the record, We're giving love in a family dose!!!

I feel Sister Sledge’s "We are Family" would be ours if Cancer Patient Services had a theme song...
 
A few weeks ago, our staff spent some time at Lake Erie enjoying some time bonding and talking about how CPS is different than other cancer agencies.  The same comment came from several different staff members... we feel like an extension of our client’s families.  

Many of our clients look forward to seeing our Front Desk Receptionist, Jenny.  In fact, if she is gone and I step in to fill her role, more often than not, I get asked where she is...  {A lesser person might be offended…. :) } These questions and requests reinforce the bond that Jenny has made with our clients.  Joanne, our Patient Guide, has similar experiences.  She is the staff member that meets with every client initially during their intake meeting.  She is also the individual that helps them sign up for Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security Disability.  She is referred to as "the magician" who sorts out their piles of medical bills. Both Jenny and Joanne have received flowers, homemade cookies and other treats, as well as wonderful thank you notes from clients and family members.  

I think the reason our staff makes these close connections is only partially due to the help and support we provide.  We provide support effectively and efficiently, but that sort of help doesn’t get you homemade chocolate chip cookies. I am reminded of the part in Sister Sledge's song, "We do our work with love, large doses of love".  We love our work, but more than that we love our clients and their families.  We meet people during the most horrible times of their lives. They come to us scared and confused; angry and frustrated; depressed and despondent.  We meet them during an extremely vulnerable point in their lives.  And vulnerability is best met with love; might I add, we meet our clients with large doses of love.  

Love isn’t a word we hear too often in professional environments.  But, at Cancer Patient Services, we know that love is the most powerful method of healing.  Love provides hope when there is no hope.
 
Stay tuned for a way to join the Sisterhood of Cancer Patient Services.  Through your volunteering, ambassadorship and donations,  you can join us in providing local individuals undergoing cancer treatments with large doses of love. <3 goo.gl/VJwhPb

Sistering: What we do for our local cancer Patients and their Caregivers every day

“There is a term in carpentry called Sistering. This is how one Momastery reader defines it:
Sometimes an existing joist, which was designed to handle a certain load, becomes too weak. Maybe it was damaged by water or fire. Maybe it still has structural integrity but an addition is being constructed and the new load is going to be a lot heavier than before. Either way, now it is not as sturdy as it needs to be.
When a builder needs to strengthen that joist, she puts a new member right next to the original one and fastens the two together. Sometimes, two new joists are needed- one on either side.
Do you know what they call that?
A Sister Joist.
And builders use “Sister” as a verb, like, “We need to Sister the joists in the east bay about four feet.” Even better is the nonsensical: “Sistering” as in, “Are they finished Sistering the roof rafters?” ~ Glennon Doyle Melton, Momastery blog author
 
I am drawn to this concept of sistering, and it isn’t because I am a woman... although, I think that is part of it.  I have personally experienced some difficult times in my life.  During those times, I have had the privilege of being "sistered". 

Well, that is after I gave up trying to do it all on my own. I think we sisters can be a bit stubborn sometimes, and a fair number of us suffer from a Superwoman complex.  We feel we can do everything by ourselves. Back off, I got this!!  But the reality is we don’t, and we can’t.  I think that is why I love this idea of "sistering". 

It is my understanding that "sistering" is the dance of supporting someone else when we know they need it, and then reaching out when we admit we need to be supported, too. It's an ebb and flow. That is how life works: sometimes we are the strong ones and other times we need someone else’s strength. 
 
I believe "sistering" greatly applies to the work we do at Cancer Patient Services every day. We are here for our local cancer patients when they need something or someone sturdy to lean on.  And, it turns out, we have had clients become volunteers, Board Members, Committee Members or donors, as they take the opportunity to then "sister" CPS.

WHen is it O.K. to use your Cancer Card?

6/22/2016

This image was borrowed from Blogger "Sweet and a little Smart-assy"

A diagnosis of cancer brings about a rush of different emotions....  One of those feelings can be loss; loss of control.  Your nice, orderly life has been completely turned upside down.  Your days are now filled with Doctors appointments, lab work, scans and treatments.  And on top of all that, those treatments are causing fatigue.  So, you have a busier schedule and less energy to get it all accomplished.

Allow me to officially give you permission: USE YOUR “CANCER CARD”.  Yup, I said it! Well, technically since I typed it in all caps, I yelled it.  You probably don’t want to admit it.... but you need to be cut some slack. You are going through a difficult time in your life physically, mentally, and emotionally.  It is o.k. to take a break. 

Are you tired?  Take a nap.  You are allowed.  Treatment is zapping your body of its energy.  Sleep restores that energy.  Don’t feel like cooking dinner?  Eat a bowl of cereal.  It’s o.k.  You don’t have to eat a healthy, well-balanced meal every night, and niether does your family.  Just eating something might be all you can manage that day, and your friends or family members can assist with the rest.  You don’t need to justify it to anyone, because you are holding the “cancer card”.

You can also use the “cancer card” with friends and family.  Ask them for help.  Wouldn’t it be nice if someone could go to the grocery store for you?  Give your list to your friend and send them on their way while you lay down and rest.  Allow your family to fix you a healthy snack. Your friends and family WANT to help you.  Some of them don’t know how to help you...  Tell them.  It’s o.k., you have “the card”.  Grass is getting long, your sidewalks need shoveled... so ask a neighbor.  They will be GLAD you asked and that there is something they can do to help out.  What about a fellow church member?  They like to help, too.  Let them wash your dishes, vacuum your floors, take your dog for a walk, etc.  There are plenty of people in your life that would like to pitch in and make your life a little easier, now.  Cash in “that card”.  Ask for the help.

A cancer diagnosis doesn’t come with many gifts.....  Your “cancer card” is one of them. 
USE IT!!  I know it is hard to be vulnerable.  We want to be able to take care of ourselves and not feel like we're burdening anyone else.  Guess what, people don't know what else to do or say so they want to help you with your "burdens".  Think of it this way, allowing someone to help you is giving them the gift of service.  You are actually giving them a gift. And, if the roles were reversed, wouldn't you want to be able to do anything to help your friend, family member, neighbor, or church member?

The people in your life love you and want to support you!!
So take that “cancer card” out and start using it!! 
 
{Though there may not be an actual "cancer card", Cancer Patient Services can offer clients
"Free Passes" to our Healing Arts Programming which include massages, Reiki, counseling, art therapy, music therapy, and more. See our Calendar of Events:  http://goo.gl/xF9WzE​} ​

New Normal

6/9/2016

I just want to go back to normal....we hear this statement a lot in our office from clients.

​I am going to share some tough information.  You will NEVER be able to go back to NORMAL.  At least not in the sense of your “old Normal.” It doesn’t exist anymore. 

Like the saying goes…"Normal is just a setting on the dryer".  What is Normal anyway?  Do you mean the way it used to be?  How things were?  Did you wish to go back to Normal after you graduated High School? After you got married?  After kids? 

While many of us do long for the “old days”, we know we can’t go back.  And honestly, do you really want to go back? I, for one, am glad I don’t have to relive my teenage years and am super glad my son now sleeps through the night.  I don’t ever want those “Normals” back again.

Having cancer is a life-changing event.  Just like graduating High school, going to college, getting married, getting divorced, having kids or losing a job.  There is a feeling of loss and grieving what used to be.  But here is the thing, as you move through that loss you then enter into your “new Normal”. 

You have the ability and the capacity to create your “new Normal.”  Yes, you are a cancer survivor, now.  But that isn’t all you are.  Cancer has taught you so many things about yourself.  You are Strong.  You faced fear and uncertainty.  Pretty Big Stuff!!  You have been humble and vulnerable.  You have given the people in your life the gift of service.  You have allowed them to care for you, support you, and love on you.  You have allowed yourself to heal.  You have taken care of you.  Not only has your body experienced change, but you have changed. 
​You have grieved the loss of your “old Normal” and you have moved on.
And, this new “Normal” looks really good on you!!

Community Superheroes

​Why do we like super heroes so much?  What makes someone a Superhero?

Superheroes are powerful.  Perhaps the mystery of their true identity aids in their power? Superheroes fight for justice.  They take down the “bad” guy to help their community.
Superheroes are omnipresent.  Oftentimes, superheroes are standing right next to you.

At Cancer Patient Services, we meet superheroes every day.  They aren’t usually wearing a costume (but quite frankly it would be pretty awesome if they did), yet they are superheroes just the same. 

Our superheroes can come in the form of an individual who wants to volunteer because they are ready to give back to an organization that helped them or a loved one.  They help us fold mailers, clean medical equipment, and man our front desk.  They come not to be recognized or applauded.  And, they can be most often heard saying, “I will help wherever you need me.”
When they remove their "masks",we recognize them as caregivers who selflessly take care of their loved one who is fighting cancer.  We know they are the type of hero who takes off work to bring a friend to treatment, run their friends' child to soccer practice or willingly just sits with their friend when they are having a tough day.

Superheroes can be donors, as well.  They support our mission through the donation of purposeful funds, equipment, supplies or raffle and auction items to be used at our events. These superheroes don’t do it for the recognition, either. They see the important work CPS is doing locally for their coworkers, neighbors, friends or family and they want to help us continue our programming. We receive gifts from corporations, organizations and individuals.  We receive food for our Survivor Day celebration.  We are given the use of facilities to hold fundraisers.  The list goes on...  We also receive monetary gifts and they come in all forms: large gifts supporting programs for years or a $5 donation from a client who appreciates the help he has been given.  Each gift is a special "power" our superheroes offer us and we are grateful.

So look around you, there are super heroes everywhere.  They might not be sporting a super cool costume or have a totally awesome superhero name, but they are there.  They are doing good work right here in our community because it matters and we each can do something.

Cancer Patient Services appreciates all of our superheroes, cape or no cape!!

Health Insurance - Part III

{Photo borrowed from FOX Business's article: How to Spot Medical Billing Errors}
​Something isn’t right.  I think there might be a mistake on my medical bill.

​We talked about your Insurance ID card and then gave you some terms you will see on your Explanation of Benefits.  Now let’s talk about mistakes.  Yes, they happen.  Even though physicians and medical providers use electronic medical records, medical billing still relies on people and people make mistakes…

But before we talk about figuring out mistakes, let’s take a look at the process of filing an insurance claim.  I think knowing this information can be helpful in figuring out where the mistake might have occurred.

For the sake of this example, let’s make this a fairly easy appointment.  You went to your Family Doctor for your annual check-up (you are getting an annual check-up, right? Ok that is probably a whole separate blog post) and during that check-up you have some blood work drawn.
You finish your appointment with the doctor and go check out.  You know you owe $35 for the office visit.  You pay the co-pay and get your receipt for your payment and leave the office.  After you leave, your doctor’s office sends your appointment information to your insurance carrier for payment.

Once your insurance carrier receives the information from your doctor, they then compare your services to your insurance plan to verify how the claim should be paid.  Once that process is completed, an Explanation of Benefits is generated for you.  On that Explanation of Benefits, information is provided as to how your claim has been paid.  It could tell you that you do not owe any additional money to your doctor or that you do have additional responsibilities to pay for that appointment.  If you owe additional money, you should receive a bill from your doctor’s office. If your Explanation of Benefit amount and the doctor’s bill match, you should pay your outstanding bill.
 
Now that is how it is all “supposed” to work.  But what if it doesn’t?  What if you don’t ever receive an Explanation of Benefits from your insurance carrier?  What if you do receive an EOB, but it doesn’t look right? Perhaps it says you owe more than you think you do.  With any of these situations, what should be your first step?
  1. Contact your insurance company.  You will need to locate the number on your insurance id card that references billing.  Or, if you have an old EOB, look for the phone number that is for questions on that EOB. 
  2. You will need to have your name, your policy id number, group id number, date of the medical appointment and any other receipts or paperwork relevant to that date.  Unfortunately, you might have to be on hold for quite a while.  Therefore, you want to have everything at your fingertips so you won’t have to call back.
  3. Depending you what you find out from your conversation, you might have to have your doctor resubmit the claim or the insurance company to reprocess the claim.  Either way, do not pay the doctor until all questions have been answered and the claim has been processed correctly.

If this all sounds way too complicated and frustrating and you are a client of Cancer Patient Services, please reach out to us.  We would be happy to work through these issues on your behalf.  Call us at 419-423-0286 to make an appointment.

We found this Consumer Reports article to be helpful in decoding medical billing errors.

Health Insurance - Part II

What is this EOB thing?
​

So, what is an Explanation of Benefits and why do you receive this from your Insurance carrier?  The form is documentation of how a claim for health services were processed.  The form provides you information on what services you received, what the health provider charged for those services and then, according to your health insurance policy, what money you owe the medical provider after the insurance adjustment.  Makes sense, right?  Well, why are these things so doggone hard to figure out, then?! 

Again, there are some terms that you need to understand that will help you decode your EOB:
  • Procedure Code or CPT – This code tells the insurance carrier what service you received from your medical provider. 
  • Amount Billed/Amount Submitted – This is the cost of the medical service that was billed to the insurance carrier by your medical provider.
  • Not covered – This term refers to medical services that are not covered by your health insurance policy.  For example, most insurance policies don’t cover cosmetic procedures like face lifts. 
    • Or, if you were injured at work, your personal health insurance would not cover any medical services. Work injuries need to be filed under your organization’s Worker’s Compensation policy.
  • Discount – The reason individuals and organizations purchase their health insurance through groups is to receive discounts on the services.  Similar to joining Sam’s Club or Coscto, your membership in that group {i.e. Medical Mutual, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, etc.} gets you discounts.  The discount reflects the amount taken off from the amount that was billed by your medical provider to your insurance carrier. 
  • Deductible – A deductible is the amount you need to pay first before your insurance starts to pay on your medical services.  The deductible is calculated AFTER any discounts you receive from your insurance carrier.  Deductible dollar limits can vary from $500 to $10,000. Once your deductible has been met, meaning you have paid for medical services up to that dollar limit, your plan can do one of two things:  (1) start paying the rest of your medical expenses at 100% or (2) you have a co-pay.  We will discuss co-pays...
  • Co-insurance – A co-insurance is when the insurance carrier shares the cost of medical services with you.  Co-insurances generally go into effect after you have met your deductible.  The cost sharing can depend on a couple of things: (1) your insurance policy and (2) whether you received services inside or outside of your network.  Generally, if you choose services inside your network your co-pay will be less than if you went outside the network. 
  • Network Providers - The network is the group of medical providers that your insurance carrier has negotiated discounts with.  So they are able to share those savings with you.
  • Co-payment – Yes this is different than co-insurance.  Confusing, right?  Co-payments are the flat dollar amounts that your insurance plan may require you to pay for each office visit.  These can vary from $10 to $35 per office visit.  Unfortunately, co-payments are not included in your deductible, co-insurance or maximum out of pocket expenses.  Co-payments are generally just for office visit charges and do not apply to other medical services you might receive.
  • Maximum out of pocket – Maximum out of pocket is the maximum dollar amount that you will spend on medical services each year.  The Maximum out of pocket number is a total of your deductible and your portion of the insurance co-pay.  *A reminder that Deductibles and Co-insurance are annual amounts.  You start back at zero at the beginning of your insurance year, which often follows the calendar year.
  • Patient Responsibility – This amount if what you owe the medical provider.  If you have met your deductible and co-insurance, this amount could be zero.  But if you have not paid out the maximum out of pocket amount, you will have an outstanding balance. 

​Phew!  That was a lot of information for one blog post...  Still have questions?  Send me them below or if you would rather email them to me, please do at cmetzger@cancerpatientservices.org
The next blog post will go over what to do if you think there is a mistake.

Health Insurance - Part I

Is it a foreign language?

Trying to figure out your health insurance carrier’s forms and letters are a nightmare.  And, that is when you aren’t sick.  So, imagine you are a cancer patient or you have some other chronic or acute disease, and you must understand that it can be downright maddening. 
Therefore, I thought it might be a good idea to write a Blog post about "How to understand your Health Insurance policy". 
But, as I sat down to write out a simple How-to blog, I quickly realized I couldn’t make it short and simple. Hallelujah, we have a 3 part series!  
  1. First, I will explain some common terms you see on your ID Card.
  2. The second post will explain some terms to help you understand your EOB a little more. 
  3. And the last part of the series, I will talk about what to do if you think there is a mistake somewhere.  And yes, they happen more frequently than you think. 
Health Insurance is a complicated thing.  But, I am going to try and break it down into some more digestible chunks for you.
Let’s get started with some terms that you should find on your insurance ID card:
  • Group Number – This is the number assigned to the group that is purchasing your insurance.  It could be your employer, an organization like the Chamber, or the group number of the insurance broker where you purchased your individual coverage
  • Plan Number – Not everyone has a plan number.  But if you work for an organization that offer different health insurance options, you should have a plan number.
  • Identification Number – Prior to HIPAA this number was always your social security number.  But now it is a unique identifier to the insurance carrier specifically for you as the insured.  The ID number refers to the person in the family that is carrying the insurance.  That is whoever is paying for the health insurance coverage.

​I hope this helps you understand your Insurance ID card a little more.  Stay tuned for Part II:  What is an EOB?  And, how can I figure out what it is supposed to be telling me?
But if you have health insurance questions in the meantime, please post them below.  Or, you can email me directly at cmetzger@cancerpatientservices.org.

What our interns have taught me

Spring Semester is coming to an end and with that we have to say good-bye to our University of Findlay interns.  We were blessed this semester to work with 5 different students.  We had individuals helping with fundraising, social media, patient navigation and occupational therapy.  They have added so much to our agency in the last four months.  {I am getting a sense of what an empty-nester feels like as their children get ready to move on}  While I hope they all gained valuable work experience and maybe some life experience too, what I realized is that they taught me as well. 

Here are the 5 things I learned from our interns:
  1. Live in the present moment. With mortgages and children and all those other adult responsibilities, I don’t spend enough time in the moment.  Thank you for reminding me to live this life fully
  2. I have the potential to do amazing things. Yes, I still do have that potential at 48 years old. Life hasn’t passed me by.  I can still do some pretty cool things. I still have dreams and the potential to achieve them. Thanks for sharing your zeal and energy with me.
  3. Life is better lived for others. I am amazed at the capacity your generation has for giving back.  Whoever said your generation is selfish, self-centered and spoiled, didn’t get to meet you guys.  You all embody servant leadership.  Thank you for giving back to our clients and to me.
  4. Be helpful. Thank you for your willingness to pitch in and help wherever and whenever needed.  You reminded me that I am not above taking out the trash or folding mailers.  Your helping hands were much appreciated.
  5. Be fun!!! You brought joy and laughter to this office.  Every workplace could use more JOY!!
 
Thank you for sharing your time and energy with us.  You all have the potential to do AMAZING things!!

We will miss you, Allie, Jenise, Makayla, Lydea, and Kristen!!

5 tips for newly diagnosed cancer patients

4/19/2016

0 Comments

 
Picture
Whether you've received the cancer diagnosis, or it is a family member or friend, navigating can be tough.  Focusing on a few areas early on can help you during your whole cancer journey. 

Here are 5 of the best tips for newly diagnosed cancer patients:
  1. Prepare for your appointments with your medical team. Appointments with your medical team are often brief and LOTS of information is shared.  Bring a notebook, write everything down.  Or if you aren’t good at taking notes, bring a loved one or trusted friends.  Follow the old adage: two heads are better than one. This is true for sets of ears as well. Having additional individuals there to ask questions or clarify what your medical team is telling you is always helpful.
  2. Take a break from the internet. We all know you are going to do internet searches at 3:00 a.m.  It is normal.  Everyone has done it. But is also overwhelming and often confusing.  Knowledge is power, but information needs to appropriate, relevant and current.  The internet can sometimes lead to confusion and additional stress.  Use links and resources provided by your medical team or other trusted cancer organizations like the American Cancer Society, www.cancer.org .  They have done the research and have information that is accurate and trustworthy.
  3. Learn to ask for help. Yes! You need to ask for help. We know you don’t want to be a burden and that you can handle your own issues... You are a private person.  We have heard it all.  But here's the thing - your friends, family, and neighbors want to do something for you.  And they will do things for you.  But if you don’t give them direction, specific direction, you might end up with Tuna Noodle casserole five nights in a row.  And NO ONE wants that much tuna noodle casserole!!  Make lists; use online tools to communicate.  We like Lotsa Helping Hands,  http://lotsahelpinghands.com/how-it-works/   You will appreciate that you can maintain control of your personal life and your loved ones will still feel needed.
  4. Find your “Tribe”. Create your support system.  A tribe is that group of people that support you unconditionally, no judging.  They let you be your authentic self.  That means they will love you on your good days AND on your bad days.  And you will have bad days...  Find the medical team member you connect with, a survivor with a similar diagnosis, and organizations like Cancer Patient Services.
  5. Find ways to relax. Massage. Reiki. Yoga. Meditation.  All great ways to relax and reduce stress.  Or maybe it is fishing, taking a walk, or watching your favorite movie.  You know what you enjoy, what makes you happy, what brings you peace.  Do more of that. 
 
A cancer diagnosis is a life changing experience.  But you don’t have to go through that experience alone.  Cancer Patient Services is that tribe for individuals in Hancock County that have been diagnosed with cancer.  Call us, message us, or come see us.  We want to help you though this.  CPS wants to be your “tribe”.
 
As part of our on-line tribe, please share your tips for a newly diagnosed cancer patients.  We would love to hear what has helped you most when you first started on this journey.
