BOT Report The GDA has sent a letter to the Georgia Department of Revenue to inquire about the department’s efforts and progress in equally enforcing the Use Tax. The ADA expects to have 60 online CE courses available by April. Law Day is March 22 (Wednesday) Please plan to attend. Medicaid Amerigroup, WellCare, and PeachState are the three risk-bearing CMOs that were awarded contracts in the six regions. All of the CMOs opted to sub-contract their dental services to either Avesis or Doral. GDIS is doing a great job meeting our Insurance needs. If you are not currently using their products, look into it. They may be able to save you some money. The latest annual Gallup Poll reveals the percentage of Americans favoring a government-run health care system has reached a five-year high at 41%. Respectfully submitted, Deena Holliman Smith |
GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE LAW DAY, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 22ND This is the last scheduled LAW Day for the session. As proven in the past, this can be a crucial time with legislation being pushed through at the end. The CDDS needs a good turnout again as we have in the past years. Bill Argo and Paul Fraysure will be helping me organize the group with attendance and transportation. Please put this date on your calendar now. If you have any questions, please call me (478) 453-8666.Thanks -- Jay Harrington |
