Prior authorization (PA) approval must be received before additional services are provided. NOTE: There is no benefit coverage for extended home health services or multiple daily nursing visits for persons age 21 or over. Requests for Prior Authorization Providers may submit requests for prior authorization using the Louisiana Requests for Prior Authorization Form. No other form or substitute will be accepted. Completed requests must be sent to the Prior Authorization Unit (PAU). Requests may be mailed, faxed or submitted electronically through electronic PA (e-PA). The preferred method is e-PA.

  • Dirty Furniture, Toilet, 2016
    A Piss-Poor Performance What does it take to design a truly gender-neutral toilet? With debates raging across the US, artist Alex Schweder stands up for women who do the same. Photo by Sander de Wilde © Corbis via Getty Images 98Two gayDirty men Furniture dressed as women pee against a wall during the Belgian Pride Parade, 2013 Gender 99 As part of this practice, I meet with p eople in my studio for an hour-long conversation about their homes. The success of this discursive branch of what I call performance architecture has led me to establish SOAP (Schweder’s Offi ce for Architectural Performances). The above exchange occurred when Heike and Bill came to me with a specifi c renovation in mind. From the altercation, it is clear that the toilet – and the way men and women use it – is a fl ashpoint and site of struggle for both our gender identity and also the way women and men relate to one another. Human beings have designed this thing – the toilet – a place where our corporeal interior is externalised, where our bodies become not our bodies. Yet at or on the toilet we are more than just animals that stand or sit. Of course, whether we choose to stand or sit is not engrained but learned. ‘One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman,’ Simone de Beauvoir famously declared in The Second Sex (1973). The psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan also saw gender differences as Let’s begin with married couple Heike and Bill (not their real illusory. For him, the segregation of men’s and women’s restrooms names) who are German and American respectively.

You are at an outdoor concert and suddenly you have an urge to go the bathroom. You frantically look around, hoping to find a nearby building with indoor plumbing, but alas, you find none. Instead, you see a row of brightly colored “porta-potties” designated for concert guests. If you are like most people, your stomach churns in disgust, and you reassess how bad you actually have to “go”. Why are outdoor portable toilets, commonly referred to as “Porta-Potties” or “Porta-Jons”, so unpleasant to use? How does the design of these buildings lead to the common consensus that portable toilets are dirty, unsanitary, and uncomfortable to use? In this report, I will be addressing these questions, and exploring some design solutions that would make portable toilets more cleanly and comfortable to use.

Urinals can also reduce queues for school toilets and the need for small learners to use pit toilets that are not suitable for them. Urinals for girls and women have been used with success in some countries and are easy for young children to use, are cheaper and faster to build than toilets. For younger children, using urinals for urinating may be easier, cleaner and safer than using pedestals, where they may have to use their hands to lift themselves onto a soiled toilet seat. For older children, defecating may happen only rarely at school and the primary need for a toilet may be for urination.

  • The Female Urinal – Facts and Fables. a Paper Given by Orde at the British Toilet Association (BTA). Imagination Is More
    The Female Urinal – Facts and Fables. A paper given by Orde at the British Toilet Association (BTA). Imagination is more important than Knowledge. 1 The Ideas of the few are those which affect the future of the many. 2 If women start acting like people, they will be accused of acting like men. 3 History has always favoured development (the horse-less carriage would not work; mobile phones will not catch on they said); we smile at those who wish they had not said " I think there is a world market for about five computers"4; "Everything that can be invented has been invented"5; "Very interesting Whittle my boy, but will it ever work?"6; "The atom bomb will never go off - and I speak as an expert in explosives"7 and the more well known "You'd better learn secretarial skills or get married"8; "I would not wish to be Prime Minister, dear"9; "You ought to go back to driving a truck”.10 Richard Chisnell, (Director of the British Toilet Association (BTA) and organiser of the Better Public Toilet Seminar 1999)11 suggested I set out an abridged Positioning Paper on the female urinal for delegates. Briefly, I intend to deal with the approach to the concept, then current developments, some historical information, and other matters pertaining to the subject. Conceptually, what do we imagine when we hear the words female urinal? Our imagination will first visualise it in use: Leaving aside fetishism and pornography (and jokes12), the important criteria, as they say in real estate are location, location, location.

  • GTZ Supported Ecosan Projects in India
    8 / 1 GTZ Supported Ecosan Projects in India C. Werner, M. Wafler, J. Heeb, H. Bartels, D. Panse ecosan programme, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ) GmbH, Postfach 5180, 65726 Eschborn, Germany, Telephone: +49 6196 79 4223, 4220, Fax: +49 6196 79804223, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract To promote the ecological sanitation approach in India, the Indian Innovative Ecological Sanitation Network (IIESN) was established through a joint effort supported by the GTZ, local partners in India and other international partners. IIESN is expected to develop innovative and socially accepted ecological sanitation systems for India and explore operational, institutional and economical models for the implementation of those ecological sanitation systems. Current activities include the implementation of several demonstration projects in different areas of India. The projects comprise e.g. ecofriendly public toilets, school and individual toilets. The flexibility of the ecosan approach allows its incorporation in various local situations and adapted to the local reuse opportunities. Technologies of the demonstration projects comprise urine separating dehydration toilets, waterless urinals, urine storage, greywater treatment and black- or brownwater treatment with anaerobic digestion and constructed wetlands. Reuse options are the use of urine, dried feces and sludge for fertilisation, use of treated water (greywater, kitchen wastewater, anal cleansing water, black- or brownwater) for irrigation and beautification and use of biogas for cooking, Keywords: India, pilot projects, ecosan, wastewater treatment, biogas, composting toilets, urine separating dehydration toilets INTRODUCTION To promote the ecological sanitation approach in India, the Indian Innovative Ecological Sanitation Network (IIESN) was established through a joint effort supported by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ) GmbH, local partners in India and other international partners.

    Female Urinals M. Demiriz [email protected] Fachhochschule Gelsenkirchen University of Applied Sciences, D 45977 Gelsenkirchen, Germany Abstract Despite the fact that sev eral female urinals have been developed several decad es ago, they have not been successfully m arketed in Europe. Two new types of fe male urinals were developed, constructed and tested. Before developing the fe male urinals, interviews among users of public restroom s have been con ducted. Additionally, user surveys were carried out for the new fem ale urinals. Eventually, re sults of all of the surveys and long term testing will be presented and discussed Keywords Female urinal, water saving efficiency, drainage design. 1 Introduction The call for female urinals is old, which has good reasons. A lot of women are afraid of getting infected with illnesses by touching toil et seats in public restroom s. Therefore, a lot of women try to su ppress their need to urinate and co ntain their urine until they reach their own bathro om - which has been proven to result in health problems: for instance, recurrent infections of the urogenital tract wh ich may even harm the upper urinary tract [1]. Several stud ies showed that 60 percent of th e women with ureter infections have an enlarged bladder because of containing their urine [2]. Moreover, a chronic straining of the bladder can lead to the loss of the contraction ability and result in incontinence and other illnesses [3, 4]. Furthermore, using a WC m eans longer waiting time than to be e xpected for using a urinal.

There is a dump valve which will go to the tank or to the sanitary system.
