In Aberdeen when someone commits a crime, either felony or misdemeanor, they are usually prosecuted by the State of South Dakota. For example when someone gets their indictment, or other court paperwork, it should say at the top: State of South Dakota vs _________. Since the State is doing the prosecuting instead of the city or county, each county has their own state’s attorney’s office. This is similar to the materials discussed in class. In the book it refers to district or county attorneys; those prosecutors much like ours are elected, and prosecute crimes committed in that county. The Brown County State’s Attorney office currently has five lawyers, and four legal aids. One of those lawyers is the state’s attorney, one is the chief deputy, and the other three are regular deputy attorneys. An average salary for a state’s attorney is between $75,000-80,000; while the total budget for the whole office is approximately $700,000.…

She suffer restless nights, a lack or inability to stay focused at times causing her to loose train of thought in meetings and ultimately lead to embarrassment on her behalf. The effects of her obsessive thoughts and anxieties if left unchecked could continue to get worse as time goes on and become an even larger hindrance to her quality of life. The case study gave me no indication to her having a prior necessitation for prescription treatments of her anxiety indicated that her anxiety and obsessive thoughts are relatively new to her potentially indication her “illness” could be a temporary. The potential for impermanence in regards to Kristen’s anxiety would still be treated but instead of treating her with medications and pill it would be more beneficial for Kristen to regularly attend therapy seasons that utilize a free-association model or alternatively seeking out mindful meditation. Kristen’s ability to not only eek out but also regularly attend therapy sessions would be entirely dependent on her financial ability to pay her fees and copays for the session, her time which as a single mother maybe be the most available, and most importantly her health insurance which she may or may not have and even if she does have insurance there is no guarantee that she is covered for mental health under her plan.

Four claim determinations that can be appealed are: Payment is denied, Payment was processed at an incorrect level, Services are denied, and Claim is denied. When payment is denied it’s usually for reasons that are not clear to the hospital or the hospital has more information to prove that the denial is in error. Services are denied based on the payer’s preexisting condition provisions. Claim is denied usually for reasons relating to authorization or precertification requirements (Ferenc, pg. 498). Depending on which determination you are appealing, the first step is Redetermination by Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) (Ferenc, pg. 499). Next, you have to go through the Reconsideration by Qualified Independent Contractor (QIC) (Ferenc, pg. 499). Then, you go to the Administrative Law Judge Hearing, on to the Appeals Council Review.
