We reward loyalty. We applaud dedication. We believe doctors deserve more than a little gratitude. We do what no other insurer does. We proudly present the Tribute® Plan. We go way beyond dividends. We reward years spent practicing good medicine. We salute a great career. We give a standing ovation. We are your biggest fans. We are The Doctors Company.

Richard E. Anderson, MD, FACP Chairman and CEO, The Doctors Company

You deserve more than a little gratitude for a career spent practicing good medicine. That’s why The Doctors Company created the Tribute Plan. This one-of-a-kind benefit provides our long-term members with a significant financial reward when they leave medicine. How significant? Think “new car.” Or maybe “vacation home.” Now that’s a fitting tribute. The Michigan State Medical Society exclusively endorses our medical malpractice insurance program, and we are a preferred partner of the Michigan Osteopathic Association. To learn more about our program benefits, call our East Lansing office at (800) 748-0465 or visit www.thedoctors.com/tribute.

BE BOLD WITH LEAN BEEF Heard the good news about lean beef? The latest research presents a new way of thinking: lean beef can be part of a solution to one of America’s greatest health challenges—eating for a healthy heart. A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that participants in the BOLD (Beef in an Optimal Lean Diet) study experienced a 10% decrease in LDL cholesterol from baseline when they ate lean beef daily as part of a heart-healthy diet and lifestyle containing less than 7% of calories from saturated fat.*1

Setting the Record Straight This ground-breaking clinical study substituted lean beef for white meat as part of an overall heart-healthy diet and found the improvements in LDL cholesterol seen on the beef-containing diets were just as effective as DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension).

MANY LEAN CUTS Lean beef is easily served with vegetables, whole grains and low-fat dairy—improving taste, satisfaction and providing essential nutrients. And many of the most popular cuts of beef—like Top Sirloin steak, Tenderloin and 95% lean Ground Beef— meet the government guidelines for lean.

TEN ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS Packed with high-quality protein, lean beef provides a satisfying, nutrient-rich experience.

A 3-ounce serving of lean beef contains 150 calories on average and is a good or excellent source of ten essential nutrients, including iron, zinc and B-vitamins.2 Scan to view the BOLD fact sheet

PART OF A HEART-HEALTHY PLAN PATIENTS WILL LOVE Lean beef can be a deliciously welcome and satisfying choice in a heart-healthy diet. Help your patients increase meal flexibility by including lean beef among other heart-healthy choices on their shopping lists.

* Subjects that consumed the BOLD diet experienced a 10.1% decrease in LDL cholesterol compared to baseline. In comparison to the Healthy American Diet, subjects experienced a 4.7% decrease in LDL cholesterol on the BOLD diet.

This year, the Michigan Osteopathic Association’s (MOA) largest convention will be held May 15-18, 2013 at the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi, Michigan. The 114th Annual Spring Scientific Convention, like the practice of medicine, is changing in many ways: First and foremost, the convention, which brings more than 1,000 osteopathic physicians together, will be hosted in a new location – the Suburban Collection Showplace. Located at 46100 Grand River Avenue in Novi, the Suburban Collection Showplace is Southeastern Michigan’s premier exposition, conference and banquet center. With both exhibit and conference space conveniently located near each other, the Suburban Collection Showplace will offer a greater opportunity of building relationships with our peers, medical students and business partners.

Secondly, the MOA has developed a simplified and convenient method for you to obtain continuing medical education (CME) credit for the 114th Annual Spring Scientific Convention through a webbased convention attestation, evaluation and CME system. Under this reporting system you may obtain a Certificate of Attendance and/or a CME Certificate for your participation in the 114th Annual Spring Scientific Convention by completing online evaluations for all of the educational sessions you attend along with an attestation of your participation. It is also important to know that this system provides the only way to obtain a Certificate of Attendance and/or a CME Certificate for the 114th Annual Spring Scientific Convention and for MOA to report your CME hours to the AOA. Complete instructions will be provided in the on-site program, however, please know you will be required to scan your badge, complete with barcode, twice per day – once in the morning and once in the afternoon.

Thirdly, overnight accommodations will be available through our host hotel, Sheraton Detroit Novi Hotel. Located at 21111 Haggerty Road in Novi, the hotel will provide free shuttle service to and from the Suburban Collection Showplace at designated times. The MOA also recommends The Baronette Hotel and the Crowne Plaza Hotel Detroit-Novi. Further information may be found on our website at www.mi-osteopathic.org/2013SpringConvention.

While all of the changes are either procedural or logistical, I assure you the sessions at this year’s convention remain high in quality. With up to 30 AOA Category 1-A continuing medical education credits offered, this year’s spring scientific convention hosts sessions including osteopathic manipulative medicine, cardiology, stroke, wilderness/environmental medicine, clinical updates, patient/physician protection updates and much more. Additionally, there are many specialty credits available, including AOBIM, AOBFP, AOBS, AOBOG, AOBD and AOBEM. Of course, credits do vary.

I encourage all of you to register before April 26 so you receive the early registration fee.See you in May! Robert G.G. Piccinini, D.O., dFACN is TRIAD co-editor-in-chief and a member of the MOA Board of Trustees. He can be reached at rggpiccinini@gmail.com.

Ah yes, when the discussion of the Michigan Osteopathic Association (MOA) begins to turn to the Spring Scientific Convention, you realize that your year as president is waning. I am certainly not hanging up my spurs just yet, there remains a great deal of work to be done and that work will not end in May, but Dr. Michael Weiss will take the mantle as president. I am confident he will be up to the task.

The MOA 114th Annual Spring Scientific Convention will present some new changes for the attendees. Due to concerns about the Hyatt Regency Dearborn and our own growing pains it was no longer an acceptable location for our conference. The MOA staff has sought out and really done an excellent job finding a new venue for the convention this year. The Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi has been selected as the new location. Hotels located close by will accommodate the attendees, which is different than what we are used to, but I have been assured will not present a major problem. Having the meeting in Novi improves accessibility for out-state members over the previous location, but remains close for tri-county attendees as well, a “win-win” situation.

The MOA education committee has, once again, out done themselves in bringing meaningful and timely educational content to our convention. There are options for specialty as well as for general education needs, and at times programs will run concurrently. There will be a new system for checking into the lecture halls to insure one receives proper credit for their attendance to the conference. Of course the scientific presentations will be available to review. I hope you will take the time to look at them, to learn and support our young physician researchers. I am sure there will be some minor problems that arise, but our outstanding MOA staff will be available to address any and all issues.

As always, the MOA Spring Scientific Convention will follow the MOA House of Delegates annual meeting where the business of the MOA will be conducted. I always enjoy both as an opportunity to network with my old friends, make new friends and improve my understanding of the osteopathic profession and medicine, in general.

It continues to be my pleasure to serve as your president of the Michigan Osteopathic Association. I invite you to attend and hope to see you at the MOA 114th Annual Spring Scientific Convention beginning on May 15, 2013.

MOA President Edward J. Canfield, D.O. is a family physician in Sebewaing, MI. He may be reached at ejcanfield.do@gmail.com.

Our Michigan Advocates are excited and looking forward to the 114th Annual Spring Scientific Convention at the new location in Novi.

This has been a very gratifying year as first-time president. The year has been full of new experiences, changes and the undertaking of new projects. I have thoroughly enjoyed working on so many exceptional things and meeting so many awesome people around the country.

We have been passionate about our new project this year. I’ve addressed several osteopathic organizations with our ideas and proposals and received several contributions. The donations have allowed us to purchase a Virtual Driving Simulator! The simulator is designed to allow you to experience impaired driving (like you’ve been drinking), and distracted driving (like you are texting or talking on the phone) until you crash!

By using the simulator we can experience our limitations and see the importance of staying alert, focused and driving responsibly We extend an invitation to you to experience our new project at our membership table this year!

Since this has become a world of multitasking, even while we’re driving, I encourage you to try the simulator and see how long you can last before you crash.

We are excited to bring the simulator to seminars, junior high, high schools, and health fairs. We want to promote the osteopathic profession not only limiting their concern with the health and welfare of their patients, but also being compassionate with the safety of their entire community.

As we continue to receive contributions, we will purchase another simulator, so we can continue to actively touch and save so many lives. This will enable us to be at different locations of the state at the same time spreading the word, showing the care and compassion we have for everyone from our osteopathic families.

I hope you can experience our new project and I invite you to personally try your driving expertise at the 114th Annual Scientific Convention.

We welcome all members and encourage all new members to join us to promote our exceptional group of Advocates. We do care and make a difference showing the public we are supporting our family members in the Osteopathic profession who are actively touching lives by caring, treating, healing and now helping to keep the roads safe for everyone.

I’m looking forward to meeting new potential advocates! We do have an awesome group now, but we need YOU who will add your gifts and talents making our Advocates all the more awesome.

We hope to see you in Novi!

Physicians’ Clinical Support System-Buprenorphine (PCSS-B) Office-Based Treatment for Opioid Use Disorders The Half and Half Course Pre-registration and separate sign-in.

• Moderator: William Morrone, D.O. and Michael Brooks, D.O. • Funding for this conference was made possible (in part) by (1H79T1022022) from SAMHSA. The views expressed in written conference materials or publications and by speakers and moderators do not necessarily reflect the official policies of the Department of Health and Human Services; nor does mention of trade names, commercial practices, or organizations imply endorsement by the U.S. Government.

• In an effort to provide training in a way that is more flexible for both practicing physicians and physicians-in-training, the creation of the Half and Half course was developed. One half of the course is a face-to-face, 4.25 hour classroom-style training. The training focuses on specifics of treating patients with opioid use disorders in office-based settings and clinical vignettes to help trainees think through “real life” experiences in opioid use disorders treatment.

• The other half of the course is a 3.75 hour of CDROM-based training. This CD contains training on substance abuse treatment, opioids, and the use of buprenorphine in the treatment of opioid use disorders from officebased practices. An examination must be completed as part of the process to obtain a waiver for prescribing buprenorphine.

• The combined face-to-face and CDROM training will provide the required 8 hours needed to obtain the waiver to prescribe buprenorphine in office-based treatment of opioid disorders.

• This training has been reviewed and is acceptable for up to 4.0 credit hours by the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP).

New Method for Obtaining CME Credit at the Spring Convention The Michigan Osteopathic Association (MOA) has developed a simplified and convenient method for you to obtain CME credit for the 114th Annual Spring Scientific Convention through the web-based Convention Attestation, Evaluation and CME Scanning System. You must also scan your name badge once in the morning and once in the afternoon as part of this new attendance process. Scan-in stations will be located outside of lecture halls.

Under this reporting system you may obtain a Certificate of Attendance and/or a CME Certificate for your participation in the 2013 Annual Convention by completing online evaluations for all of the educational sessions you attended along with an attestation of your participation. Your candid evaluations are very valuable to us as it helps with planning for future educational offerings.

It is also important to know that this system provides the only way to obtain a Certificate of Attendance and/or a CME Certificate for the 114th Annual Spring Scientific Convention and for MOA to report your CME hours to the American Osteopathic Association (AOA). You will only receive CME credit for those activities for which you complete an evaluation.

Instructions for using the MOA Online Evaluation and Attestation System

Save These Instructions

How can I complete the evaluations and attest to my participation in the meeting?

This can be done in one of two ways: 1. During sessions scheduled Wednesday-Friday, CME computer kiosks will be conveniently located near registration in Hall C and in the exhibitor booth area. On Saturday, a CME computer kiosk will be available outside the Crystal Room. CME computer kiosks will be available during the following times: • Wednesday, 4 - 7 p.m.

• Thursday, 8 a.m. - 6 p.m.

• Friday, 7 a.m. - 6 p.m.

• Saturday, 7 a.m. - 4 p.m.

2. After you return home or to your practice, visit www.mi-osteopathic.org/2013SpringEvaluation and submit your evaluations and attestation there. Your online evaluation and attestation of participation must be completed by June 21, 2013.

Directions for using the CME Evaluation/Attestation System

1. To access the system, log into www.mi-osteopathic. org/2013SpringEvaluation using the following information: • User Name: Your MOA ID (located on your name badge) • Password: MOA2013 2. Locate the 2013 Conference Evaluation / CME link and click it. Now you are in the MOA Online Evaluation and Attestation System.

You may login and logout of the system as many times as you wish using your user name and password. Your responses will be saved and you will have the ability to go back in and edit previous responses as many times as you wish until your evaluation is completed. This means that you may log in and evaluate one session or one day at a time rather than having to wait until the conclusion of the convention.

As you work through the evaluation process, use the buttons within and at the bottom of each page to navigate the forms.

The system will automatically log you out after 10 minutes of inactivity.

If you are using this evaluation tool at a public access computer (i.e. kiosk), please remember to logout when you are finished.

The Certificate button will not be functional until MOA verifies all registration and attendance scans. Your verification of attendance will be completed by 5 p.m. on Tuesday, May 21, 2013.

You will see ATTENDANCE VERIFICATION PENDING below the Certificate button. When attendance has been verified, you will see the attendance status change to ATTENDANCE VERIFIED; at that time the Certificate button will be enabled, and the system will allow you to create the appropriate CME certificate.

You will have the option to download it to your computer as a PDF or e-mail it to yourself. You will need Adobe Reader in order to view your certificate. If you do not have access to a printer, you may download it at any time by logging back in and clicking Certificate.

CME will be submitted to the AOA by June 28, 2013.

2013 SPRING SCIENTIFIC CONVENTION

May 15-18, 2013

Student Program As a first year osteopathic medical student, there are still plenty of reasons to attend the Michigan Osteopathic Association 114th Annual Spring Scientific Convention. The MOA Student Liaison Committee is composed of first- and second-year students who attend the Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine whether they attend the East Lansing, Detroit or Macomb campus. These students work with staff at both the MOA and MSUCOM to plan and execute events for their peers. The Committee has created a student program for osteopathic students during the Spring Scientific Convention, and the MOA invites you to partake in several other networking opportunities while on site.

On Thursday, May 16th, the MOA invites first-and second-year MSUCOM students to their convention luncheon featuring Daniel Van Arsdale, D.O. and his presentation entitled “Medical Leadership.” Dr. Van Arsdale is the administrative director of medical education, program director of family medicine/OMT, residency program in community osteopathic medicine Southhampton Hospital in New York.

There will be reserved seating for students, so make sure to get there early!

Again this year, the MOA allows students to have the opportunity to “speed network” with osteopathic Directors of Medical Education from 10 Michigan hospitals. This program will be held from 1 - 5 p.m. on Thursday, May 16th.

20

TRIAD, SPRING 2013

Speed Date a DME

Who: 1st year COM Students What: An annual event where each SCS hospital has a booth staffed with a DME, MSUCOM clerkship student and the clerkship coordinator When: Four hour afternoon program offered annually each spring at one location Why: To provide students with: • standard information about all SCS hospitals • contact info of current 3rd yr COM student at base hospitals • opportunity to meet and ask questions of DME, MSUCOM clerkship student and site clerkship coordinator Immediately following the speed networking with osteopathic DMEs, please stay to enjoy the student and intern-resident receptions. The MOA and the DMEs sponsor these fun and casual events offering refreshments and appetizers. Socialize, meet new people, ask questions and enjoy.

Students are also invited to attend the MSUCOM Alumni Reception in the Opal room. MSUCOM sponsors this grand reception for students and alumni to gather.

While at the convention be sure to check out the Scientific Research Exhibits! Students, residents and physicians showcase their abstracts in a spirited competition to promote osteopathic principles. Learn more about the Scientific Research Exhibit by visiting www.mi-osteopathic.org/SRE.

Preparing MSUCOM Students to Compete for Residencies More than 300 students from the Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine are expected at the 114th Annual Spring Scientific Convention the afternoon of Thursday, May 16 for a program that will springboard them into residency education.

For several years MSUCOM has hosted the session for its third-year students to enable them to succeed in an increasingly competitive residency selection process. With the advent of new medical schools and the increases in class sizes to meet the projected physician shortages, there has not been a concomitant growth in residency positions nationwide, either in the allopathic or osteopathic professions.

The program will include these presentations • Preparing for the match, including an introduction to the AOA Intern/Resident Registration Program; osteopathic, allopathic and military options; rules and procedures; statistics and deadlines • ERAS, the Electronic Residency Application Service A panel of directors of medical education in hospitals, who will offer advice, clarify dos and don’ts, and answer questions about internships and residencies.

The program is coordinated by MSUCOM’s Career Development Team including members from Academic Programs, Student Services and Statewide Campus System.

HEALTH CARE REFORM PAY OR PLAY Effective date January 1, 2014

The Shared Responsibility Provision of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), commonly referred to as the Pay or Play Rule, mandates that large employers (those with 50 or more full-time and full-time equivalent employees) may be subject to an excise tax if they do not offer health coverage to their employees and dependents that: • Meets the definition of minimum essential benefits • Is deemed affordable coverage An employer is potentially liable for the excise tax if: • They do not offer coverage • They offer coverage, but the employee’s share of premium cost for the single premium: • Exceeds 9.5 percent of the employee’s W-2 wages • The coverage does not meet the definition of minimum essential benefits

Essential Health Benefits Defined Essential Health Benefits must include items and services within the following 10 categories, at a minimum: • Ambulatory patient services • Emergency services • Hospitalization • Maternity and newborn care • Mental health and substance use disorder services, including behavioral health treatment • Prescription drugs • Rehabilitative and rehabilitation services and devices

• Laboratory services • Preventive and wellness services (including chronic disease management) • Pediatric services (including oral and vision care)

Pay or Play – No Coverage Offered Employers that do not offer coverage and have at least one full-time employee that receives a premium tax credit on the exchange will be assessed an excise tax equal to $2,000 annually, multiplied by the number of full-time employees (minus the first 30). The penalty calculation is assessed on a monthly basis.

No Coverage Penalty $2,000 X [number of full-time employees – 30] ($166.67 per full-time employee after 30 per month) Example: ABC Company has 52 full-time employees and does not offer coverage. $2,000 X [52 – 30] ($166.67 per full-time employee after 30 per month) = $2,000 X 22 / 12 = $3,666 per month

Pay or Play – Unaffordable Employers that offer coverage and have an employee that

receives a premium tax credit through an exchange because the employer’s coverage is not affordable, or does not meet the definition of minimum essential benefits, must pay an amount equal to the lesser of $3,000 for each full-time employee receiving a subsidy, or $2,000 annually for each full-time employee (minus the first 30). The penalty for unaffordable coverage cannot exceed what the employer would have paid for offering no coverage. The penalty calculation is assessed on a monthly basis.

employees: These penalties do not apply to these groups, regardless if they offer coverage.

Groups who have 50 or more full time and full time equivalent employees: These groups need to evaluate their benefit package (ensure it meets minimum essential benefits) and employee contribution towards the single premium

to determine if they meet the standards to avoid the excise tax, or be prepared to pay the tax penalty in 2014.

Unaffordable Penalty The lesser of… $3,000 X number of employees receiving a tax credit ($250 per employee receiving a tax credit per month) OR $2,000 X [number of full-time employees – 30] ($166.67 per full-time employee after 30 per month)

Calculating Employees The sum of all full-time employees working 30 or more hours per week + Plus the total number of hours worked in a month by part-time employees/ divided by 120 = Total number of full-time equivalent employees This calculation does not include seasonal employees who work less than 120 days per year. This calculation is specific to this provision of PPACA. Example: Is ABC Company a Large Group?

• 20 full-time employees working over 30 hours per week.

• 160 part-time employees each working 24 hours per week 20 full-time employees + [(160 part-time X 24 hours per week)/120] = 20 + (3840/120) = 20 + 32 = 52 full-time equivalent employees Groups who fall under the 50 full time employees and full time equivalent TRIAD, SPRING 2013

DEAN’S COLUMN

by William Strampel, D.O.

We gather again at convention – some of us for decades, others fresh and new – to celebrate what it means to be an osteopathic physician in Michigan, to learn more to enhance our skills, and to revitalize, rethink, reposition, and reassess.

We’re all so busy, it might seem overwhelming to take whole days out of our schedules to do so. But as our world becomes more complicated, what we can accomplish together can actually ease some of those pressures, offering a great return on the investment of time. The profession needs all of our input, and the convention is a great place to start.

Challenges? Well, they’re many, and they impact each of us each day • A patient population that is only now emerging from four years of economic hardship. Many have lost health care access, have delayed seeking care, have skimped on needed medications, and have had time to develop chronic or acute health care conditions that might create a spike in demand • The burgeoning need for primary care physicians, and the obstacles that channel our graduates away from selecting primary care • The changes caused by the Affordable Care Act, creating new procedures, standards, challenges and opportunities for us individually and collectively • Our state’s response to our health care problems, affecting legislation and appropriations that are sorely needed to address the greatest issues of our patients • Issues of reimbursement and liability • The factors that must be addressed in the ACGME/AOA residency training collaboration to ensure that what is important about osteopathic education be preserved in the curricula, and that our graduates remain highly competitive in the system • The need to find more efficient and effective ways to get the continuing medical education we all need – programs that allow us to gain knowledge on-line and enter the classroom for discussion, practice, refinement There’s much to discuss, and it’s important that we address these issues together. Only then can valuable osteopathic principles and practice be maintained and strengthened for the future. Only then can our patients continue to receive the best of who we are and what we do.

I hope you’ll stop by MSUCOM’s booth and reception at convention. Get reunited with classmates and faculty. Stop to chat. Let us hear your needs and opinions and challenges and dreams. Let’s do this together!
