Second, combined with a tripod-mounted camera and a VariZoom lens controller, they can emulate a studio-style rig costing thousands of dollars. Used on a hand-held camera, a VZ-TFT monitor lets you walk around with ease while accurately framing shots. Additionally, it is a highly compact and affordable alternative to bringing a conventional CRT video monitor into the field for video playback.

    Section 1115 Demonstration: Kansas KanCare Public Comments Title Description Created At Be realistic and use • New systems are not functional as of December 24th: 2013-12-24 common sense o Providers already can’t bill for services because of the day service 12:29 unit conversion o Some CDDOs cannot access the new basis system • Not only are these new system not functional, but the state administration and MCOs cannot get the issues that have been ongoing for almost a year already resolved. These issues continue to happen repeatedly because all the state has to do to indicate resolution is to have passed it on to the MCO to resolve. This is also known as ‘passing the buck’. I heard many people saying over two years ago that this would happen and it is. • The MCOs are not likely to resolve the payment, pre-authorization and overwhelming administration issues the providers are facing simply because this is simply how they operate, how they do business, everywhere. Denying this is silly and not realistic. • It is saddening that after literally years of individuals with I/DD, their families, guardians, caregivers, providers, case managers, and CDDOs telling our state administration that this is not a good business model for I/DD long term services, that they can simply choose not to listen to those who know best how to provide these services, and just do as THEY choose. I haven’t spoken to anyone who knows how to serve these individuals that wants this, or honestly believes it will provide better outcomes.
