New Workers’ Compensation Laws Will Reduce Treatment Delays and Improve Anti-Fraud Efforts

October 4, 2016

0

SACRAMENTO, California, Sept. 30, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Two newly signed laws will build upon California’s workers’ compensation reforms by addressing two critical issues—reducing treatment delays for injured workers and rooting out provider fraud and illegitimate liens.

Governor Brown signed SB 1160 (Mendoza) and AB 1244 (Gray and Daly), which build on the 2012 workers’ compensation reforms designed to increase benefits and improve medical care for injured workers, and to control costs for employers.

“Expedited and appropriate treatment in the critical first month of injury encourages the best outcome for injured workers and employers,” said Christine Baker, Director of the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR). “In reforming the utilization review process used to contest care to injured workers and tightening controls on fraud, these new laws further the treatment and savings goals initiated by the Governor and the Legislature in 2012.”

SB 1160 reduces most utilization review in the first 30 days following a work-related injury. It also mandates electronic reporting of utilization review data by claims administrators to the Division of Workers’ Compensation, which will enable the division to monitor claim processes and address problems.

In August, DIR announced that $600 million in liens filed against injured employees’ claims for workers’ compensation benefits have been filed by convicted or criminally indicted parties from 2011 through 2015. SB 1160 adds requirements to verify a lien is legitimate, that it is filed only by the lien holder, and that that liens owned by providers who have been indicted or charged with crimes be stayed until the disposition of criminal proceedings.

AB 1244 requires the Division of Workers’ Compensation Administrative Director to suspend any medical provider, physician or practitioner from participating in the workers’ compensation system when convicted of fraud.

“These new laws will protect injured workers and employers from continued abuse by suspending providers convicted of fraud from participating in the workers’ compensation system and by staying liens filed by indicted parties,” said the division’s Acting Administrative Director George Parisotto.

Beginning January 1, 2017 lien filers will be required to file a declaration affirming eligibility under penalty of perjury. Liens filed without the declaration will be dismissed. The Division of Workers’ Compensation will modify the EAMS system—which requires lien filers to pay a fee—to disallow any liens not meeting requirements.

DIR protects and improves the health, safety and economic well-being of over 18 million wage earners, and helps their employers comply with state labor laws. Its Division of Workers’ Compensation monitors the administration of workers’ compensation claims, and provides administrative and judicial services to assist in resolving disputes that arise in connection with claims for workers’ compensation benefits.

Members of the press may contact Erika Monterroza or Peter Melton at (510) 286-1161, and are encouraged to subscribe to get email alerts on DIR’s press releases or other departmental updates.

FDA Starting Process To Relabel Fresh Avocados As “Healthy” (Finally)… Something Hispanics Already Have Long Believed

FDA Starting Process To Relabel Fresh Avocados As "Healthy" (Finally)... Something Hispanics Already Have Long Believed

MISSION VIEJO, California, Oct. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has proposed new guidelines for the use of the term “healthy” on food labeling and fresh avocados, which contribute naturally good fats to the diet, will now meet the criteria. Avocados can now tout the nutritional claim that the vast majority of U.S. Hispanics (91%) already perceive to be true.¹

The term “healthy” on a food label is regulated by the FDA and reserved for foods low in fat among other restrictions. The past guidance, which was established more than 20 years ago, focused on Total Fat per serving and the new proposed guidance gives consideration to the breakdown between good (unsaturated) and bad (saturated) fats in light of evolving nutrition research. Avocados contain 8 g of fat per 50 g serving, over 75% of which are good fats (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats). Avocados comply with the new guidance because they have a fat profile of predominantly monounsaturated (good) fats.

“Hispanics awareness of the good fats in avocados has been steadily growing and last tracked at 68%,¹” said Emiliano Escobedo, Executive Director of the Hass Avocado Board. “We’re excited that our communications will now match up with what Hispanics already know: avocados are a source of good fat and healthy.”

Eating fruits and vegetables, like healthy avocados, is associated with a reduced risk of many chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, and may be protective against certain types of cancers, according to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

Seafood – Selecting and Serving It Safely

October 4, 2016

0

SILVER SPRING, Maryland, Oct. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — October is National Seafood Month and a time to highlight the importance of fish and shellfish as part of a healthful diet. As with any food, safe handling of seafood is essential to reducing the risk of foodborne illness (often called food poisoning).

Learn more at: http://www.fda.gov/Food/FoodborneIllnessContaminants/BuyStoreServeSafeFood/ucm077331.htm

Experience the interactive Multimedia News Release here: http://www.multivu.com/players/English/7594351-fda-seafood-safety/

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reminds you to follow these basic safety tips for buying, storing, and preparing fish and shellfish.

Buy Right: Fresh Seafood

When buying fresh fish or shellfish, be sure that it is refrigerated or displayed on a thick bed of fresh ice that is not melting. Preferably, it should be displayed in a case or under some type of cover. Check for these signs of freshness:

Fish:

Fish should smell fresh and mild, not fishy, sour, or ammonia-like.
A fish’s eyes should be clear and bulge a little.
Whole fish and fillets should have firm, shiny flesh and bright red gills free from slime.
The flesh should spring back when pressed.
Fish fillets should display no discoloration nor darkening or drying around the edges.

Shellfish:

Look for tags and labels on live shellfish (in the shell) and on containers or packages of shucked shellfish that include a certification number for the processor. This means that the shellfish were harvested and processed in accordance with FDA national shellfish safety controls.
Throw away any clams, oysters, and mussels with cracked or broken shells.
Live clams, oysters, and mussels will close up when the shell is tapped. If they don’t close, do not select them.
Live crabs and lobsters should show some leg movement. They spoil rapidly after death, so only live crabs and lobsters should be selected and prepared.

Buy Right: Frozen Seafood

Frozen seafood can spoil if it thaws during transport and is left at warm temperatures for too long. Follow these tips when selecting frozen seafood:

Don’t buy frozen seafood if the package is open, torn, or crushed on the edges.
Avoid packages that are positioned above the “frost line” or top of the freezer case.
Avoid packages with signs of frost or ice crystals, which may mean the fish has been stored for a long time or was thawed and refrozen.

Store Properly

Put seafood on ice, in the refrigerator (if it will be used within two days), or in the freezer soon after buying it. If freezing, wrap it tightly in moisture-proof freezer paper or foil to protect it from air leaks.

Prepare Safely

Most seafood should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F and checked in more than one spot to ensure doneness. If you don’t have a food thermometer, there are other ways to determine whether seafood is done.

Fish: Flesh should be opaque and separate easily with a fork
Shrimp and Lobster: Flesh becomes pearly and opaque
Scallops: Flesh turns milky white or opaque and firm
Clams, Mussels, and Oysters: Shells open during cooking (throw out any that don’t open)
