Area Activities for Families
In Winter 2007, WSCA Board of Directors formed an Insurance Committee to help work on some of the questions that we've been receiving from our members and to work more closely with the Insurance Carriers to define and explain some of the billing procedures, as well as billing code usage. The committee drafted letters to Regence and Premera prior to our 2008 Winter Conference in order to gather information and clarify certain billing codes. You can read the letter on the insurance page of our website.
The Insurance Committee is continuing to meet and is currently looking for additional members who would like to participate. If you are a member of the WSCA and would like to learn more information about this position, please email us at: insurance@chirohealth.org. Additionally, if you have insurance questions or concerns that you think the committee should address, you may also send comments to the insurance email address.

Stakeholder News from the Integrator Blog News & Reports
http://theintegratorblog.com
As an on-going feature, the WSCA Spotlight News will link you to articles of interest from the Integrator, edited by John Weeks. Weeks has written for Plexus and spoke at our January 2007 conference. He is a 20-year veteran reporter and organizer in the field of complementary and integrated health care. The Integrator's mission is to serve leaders in creating the connections between the diverse disciplines and stakeholders in the emerging field.
The articles for April include an exploration of "cultural authority" which grew out of my participation at the 2008 ACC-RAC meeting which focused on this theme, a personal report from a meeting with Josephine Briggs, MD, the new director of NIH NCCAM, an article on additional questions about whether NCCAM's leaders should be experienced in complementary and integrative approaches, some insight into whether Rs or Ds are most supportive of chiropractic and prevention, and notice of an interesting new employer-related initiative for integrative practitioners. Enjoy!

The Integrator is made possible through sponsorships from NCMIC, Triad Healthcare, Standard Process, Alternative Medicine Integration Group, Inner Harmony Group and individuals who voluntarily contribute.
