I used Reeves water color pallet with color pencils, detailed with pen and ink. <br />
I named the picture NO BOUNDARIES because for one it looks as though it is endless and it could have been a scene from just about anywhere or any place. if you like it it is free to the highest bidder! All shipping will be included. Bids start at $200.00<br />
Proceeds in part will go to Tammy Ryan's fees, flight, room and board<br />
and other essential needs for her trip to Tanzania. www.paypal.com <br />
www.babymatterstanzania.org <br />
You can hang this picture and know at least 150 new moms and newborns were cared for with your donation for up to a year in such a remote but much needed area in the world, called...Tanzania.<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-MsuZlDHkZsBKRbM1U2AWiTWyATjO7RyWxI4-Q60qqHLRFHbTr1PPZOFyoerxnwEJNUwxgXT0L-cupcnVBRptLR-AZKdR5Hlfhzzr3sHA63h-doW5dKWDVz8PFbG2gjkdaJ0aZbiYbJDm/s640/blogger-image-1022094288.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-MsuZlDHkZsBKRbM1U2AWiTWyATjO7RyWxI4-Q60qqHLRFHbTr1PPZOFyoerxnwEJNUwxgXT0L-cupcnVBRptLR-AZKdR5Hlfhzzr3sHA63h-doW5dKWDVz8PFbG2gjkdaJ0aZbiYbJDm/s640/blogger-image-1022094288.jpg" /></a></div>Dale Kaplanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00214585222567051090noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932235083073325073.post-40860225491326675742012-08-20T19:25:00.001-07:002012-08-20T19:25:49.837-07:00Tanzania 2012Imagine if each one of us donated $1.00 to sending Tammy to Tanzania this 2012 what she could accomplish in her goals!<br />

people will go to Face Book and ask advise for personal and or medical concerns? Wow!!! How crazy is that? Check out some of their questions posted on Face Book. It will make you wonder and hopefully make you concerned for their safety and their families wellbeing. How many folks would post a medical question to their Face Book? I would suggest they ask their doctor and or get a 2nd, 3rd, 4th opinion but this maybe too obvious and duhhhh just saying....... There are crazy people out there.....and even crazier answers about your issues and your "hoo ha". I'd be scared...... Seriously. Concern and confused is more like it. One never knows does one!<br />

We first used water color paints free hand on Japanese water color paper. <br />
Then applied our handmade stamped die-cuts and raised them for a 3D affect. <br />
Some Zentangle art to give a funky flavor to a kimono robe 3D die cut and we now have entered our 2nd competition.<br />
We are on a roll...<br />
It was really fun and always insightful conversation night with Etta creating this master piece. We just submitted to the <a href="http://www.simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.com/2012/07/challenge-what-do-you-say.html" target="_blank">Simon Says & Stamp</a> competition.

The times are changing! <br />
Please read and re-read carefully.<br />
<br />
Doulas do see the landscape changing in regard to our services being covered through our expectant moms health insurance. <br />
Your mom should still pay you for your services then you can repay her if you do get reimbursed. It may take several attempts to submit and resubmit until our services become customary and routine as other providers.<br />
Here are the steps. <br />
Do not take any short cuts!<br />
<br />
One needs to obtain : <br />
<br />
Obtain a national 1500 claim form to be completed with your assistance and client go to:<br />
http://www.cms.gov/Outreach-and-Education/Medicare-Learning-Network-MLN/MLNProducts/downloads/form_cms-1500_fact_sheet.pdf<br />
<br />
1.a copy of their clients health insurance card front and back.<br />
<br />
2. Get pre-authorization from individual health insurance company. You need to call several times be persistent.<br />
<br />
3. Obtain your NPI # and https://npiregistry.cms.hhs.gov/NPPESRegistry/NPIRegistryHome.do<br />
<br />
4. Include a copy of your Doula certification <br />
<br />
5. Complete their state uniform Credentialing form (I have the name and address of the director) to be sent certified mail return receipt.<br />
<br />
.http://www.caqh.org/pdf/CAQH_Provider_Applicationv5_2006-10-31.pdf<br />
<br />
6. Once you have your CAQH # it will follow you through your career as a Doula. So does your NPI #.<br />
<br />

<br />
I am in direct contact with Dona International and their 3rd party reimbursement department. Showing our mass numbers of nationwide doulas we need to unite and show the insurance companies we make difference in the quality of care for our moms.<br />
When a women becomes pregnant she immediately chooses a good OBGYN,<br />
a pediatrician, or midwife. <br />
The Doula should be as important and your mom and her family deserve your best professional support. <br />
For one to be in network means less financial outlay for your moms. How fabulous would that be?<br />
Your input and attention to becoming a provider will be recognized on a national level.<br />
<br />
Whatever it takes to be available and make it easier for an expectant mom is most important to me.<br />
<br />
I realize the process is extensive, but having the ability to be an in network provider has many advantages not only for your moms but for yourself.<br />
<br />
Contact me for further information.<br />
I have an important address where your NPI and CAHQ number need to sent register mail with a return receipt.<br />
<br />
Please share this post with your sister doulas. <br />
We have such a wonderful opportunity to make a real difference in an expectant moms labor, delivery and future health care.<br />

Please call be as a "back up" Doula.<br />
