With forthcoming Supreme Court PPACA hearing in March and an expected decision in June or July, 2012, ERISAclaim.com offers Webinars to discuss what really matters to the doctors and hospitals in their reimbursement rights: ?not much as you thought or much more than you thought?, what must doctors and hospitals do NOW for their insurance reimbursements with or without PPACA.

?If every American is insured but without reimbursement rights for doctors and hospitals, the more patients you see and the less you get paid, the faster you go broke, as recently reported by CNNMoney and AMA, ? says Dr. Jin Zhou, president of ERISAclaim.com, a national expert on PPACA and ERISA appeals and compliance.

The Webinar will focus on the Supreme Court PPACA development and the real impact on reimbursement rights for doctors and hospitals, rather than pure political and academic marathon debates:

According to the U.S. Supreme Court?s Website, PPACA hearing is scheduled for March 27-28, 2012. A decision is expected as early as June or July 2012. The high Court will decide on whether the PPACA?s individual mandate and Medicaid expansion will be constitutional, and if unconstitutional, whether they are severable from the entire PPACA. The high Court will likely decide (1) to uphold entire PPACA, (2) throw out the entire PPACA or (3) throw out individual mandate and/or Medicare expansion.

The Supreme Court landmark PPACA decision will certainly change U.S. healthcare history politically and economically. However no matter what the Court decides on PPACA, a.k.a. ObamaCare, the specific impact for the reimbursement rights on claim denials for doctors and hospitals will not be as much as the majority expected, because PPACA adopted 36-year-old federal law ERISA in its entirety for internal appeals and endorsed existing NAIC External Appeal Model for PPACA external appeals, and ERISA governs more than 80% of healthcare claims outside Medicare and Medicaid market. Not much realized by the majority, the Supreme Court decision in CIGNA v. Amara on May 16, 2011 has truly and dramatically changed the reimbursement rights for doctors and hospitals with unprecedented remedies, the protections sought for by Patient Bill Of Rights campaign for decades, explained Dr. Zhou.

So, What Will Be the Real Impact on Reimbursement Rights for Doctors and Hospitals?

As a sign that it is prepared to take the corporate money out of politics and rid the U.S. political process of corporate influence, Wolf-PAC (http://www.wolf-pac.com/) founder Cenk Uygur, announced today that Chris Campbell is the PAC?s Executive Director. Campbell has worked for a number of politically progressive candidates and causes.

Wolf-PAC, a super political action committee, launched in 2011 by Uygur at Zuccotti Park, NYC, during the Occupy Wall Street Protest, seeks to overturn the Citizens United Supreme Court decision, which freed corporations and unions to spend unrestricted money on campaigns. The PAC will focus on passing what will be the 28th Amendment. The amendment calls for ending corporate personhood and publicly financing all elections.

?Our plan is to mobilize people, so that they will occupy their state capitols,” said Uygur, host of The Young Turks on Current and YouTube. ?We want the call for a Constitutional Convention to come from all 50 states. The U.S. Congress is drunk with corporate money, so proposing an amendment through Congress is hopeless. Money that comes from corporations influences politicians to act in the interest of their financial backers, on both sides of the aisle.?

Campbell?s selection follows a nationwide search that included former members of Congress, Congressional staffers, state legislators and their former aids. ?In addition to his skill set, what directed our choice was the fire for our cause that he exhibited,? said Uygur. Check out Uygur?s video announcement here: http://youtu.be/OLgtXYs3CtA

A resident of Connecticut, Campbell has successfully leveraged massive volunteer networks, organized state and federal races, and managed campaigns and political organizations for candidates and causes throughout the United States.

?This is an exciting opportunity,? said Campbell, as he settled into his first day on the job. ?It is projected that millions of dollars will be spent to influence the outcome of the election. If we are going to have as large an impact as possible upon the 2012 election cycle, we have a lot of work to do.? In his email to Wolf-PAC volunteers, Campbell wrote ?The integrity of our democracy demands direct and immediate action to protect future elections from this type of dangerous manipulation.?

Since its October 2011 launch, Wolf-PAC has seen exponential growth in volunteers and donors and is expected to undertake political action at both the state and local levels in the coming months.
