Tent Poster – Mental Toughness – Goggins

“It’s so easy to be great nowadays because everyone else is weak. If you have ANY mental toughness, if you have any fraction of self-discipline; The ability to not want to do it, but still do it; If you can get through to doing things that you hate to do: on the other side is GREATNESS ”

— David Goggins

Driven to Excellence – Happy Father’s Day

I’m facing the “BIG 60” in just a couple of days.  With that, back in April, I decided to take on the Great Cycle Challenge, which is a bicycle challenge during the month of June for Children’s Cancer Research.  My goal was to ride 60 miles during the month of June with 60 friends sponsoring me at $10.00 each to raise $600.00.

This challenge has been more eye opening than I had anticipated.

I haven’t really done much bike riding in probably 35 years.  The peaceful rides through the countryside along the White River Trail in Lyons have given me time to reflect on much more than raising money for Children’s Cancer and/or the fact that I’m turning 60.

Each day, while riding, a thought would pop into my head of someone I knew that has had to face cancer.  When my (ars) began to pain me…. I would think of those going through treatment and the challenge they face each day of their cancer treatment journey.  I would think of the challenges each family faces as their loved one struggles through the pain and how it really affects the whole family when one is afflicted.  I would think of those that have lost the battle to this horrible disease.  This was motivation enough for me to continue the ride returning to the comfort of my home.

Usually allowing a day in between rides to rest and rejuvenate today was different… I rode 8 miles yesterday and set out for 8 today.  Passing the half way mark the ride again became uncomfortable to say the least.  Again, I tried to focus on something other than the pain.

Immediately,  “DRIVEN” came to mind.  My mind pondered that word for a moment…thoughts racing to my head.

  • Driven… I recalled a recent article written by Ed Petty referencing David Goggins* with goal setting and being driven as a way to reach our goals. Moving out of our comfort zone through the pain and on to greatness.
  • Ed…I first met Ed Petty approximately 30 years ago. I was working in a Chiropractic office in Lake Geneva, WI for Dr. Culp(another great mentor might I add).  Ed had just moved to this area and was seeking out clients.  Little did I know that fast forward to today I have been working with him for almost 17 years.

When I have a birthday I often reflect on the past, where I’ve been and where I’m headed.

Ed has been an instrumental piece in my life providing me the motivation, knowledge and guidance to become a better person both personally and professionally.  He has helped me develop good communication skills, encourages a healthier lifestyle, and is there to listen when faced with a personal challenge.  Ed was one of the first people I was able to reach when my husband was killed at work just over 7 years ago.  I’m sure my call came to him as a shock as much as the call I received did however during that brief call he calmly presented me with two options.  “You can choose to wallow in your loss and look for sympathy from those around you or you can face the challenge and move forward.”  Again, that “driven” attitude to move outside our comfort zone at the forefront.

  • Father’s Day…. Ed while he is not my father, and really knows nothing of my childhood, has been a guiding light in my life for the past 30 years. Encouraging, teaching, coaching, and mostly being a friend. Ed has “DRIVEN” me to Excellence. And I am eternally grateful!

Happy Father’s Day to all those that Drive you to Excellence!

Start Preparing NOW – New Medicare Beneficiary Identifiers to be Assigned Your Patients

Beginning in April 2018, through April 2019, The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will re assign all Medicare Beneficiary Identification (MBI) Numbers, and re-issue cards to your Medicare patients and Medicare Railroad retired patients. Social security numbers will no longer be used. Instead, a grouping of numeric-alpha characters, such as 1EG4 TE5-MK72, will be assigned.

Things to Keep in Mind:

  • The new cards will not change your patient coverage or benefits.
  • New patients who start on Medicare in April and beyond will be assigned only the new number.
  • Correct patient addresses are critical for getting claims processed and getting you paid. The patients’ mailing addresses you have on file MUST match the addresses the Social Security office has on file.

We have put together a simple, quick ready checklist to keep you ahead of the game.
Email us at services@pmaworks.com

If you have any further questions, we’re here to help make sure you get reimbursed in a timely manner. These changes are coming. Give us a call!

Happy New Year!
