Reason being ?  Something called Section 179 depreciation. The IRS avails small businesses a great opportunity to maximize their purchasing power, especially with the increase to a maximum annual deduction of $500,000 for equipment and software purchased and placed in service in 2010 – 2012. The Small Business Jobs & Credit Act of 2010 increased the annual Section 179 depreciation deduction from $250,000 to $500,000...

You might laugh at the idea of a CPA participating in the EMR selection process. Interestingly, the CPA that I use has also been asked by their clients about the EMR stimulus money and so they were grateful they could ask me some questions. This aside, I found this person’s comments interesting. I think they also illustrate some of the challenges in EMR pricing and some of the thirst for EMR pricing also. I removed some identifying information and some other comments about EMR and HIPAA. Otherwise, the comments are in tact. I have been pondering trying to do some sort o...

Small-business owners have limited time in 2009 to benefit from the most lucrative tax incentives for acquiring technology and/or equipment. If your practice is ready to buy equipment or software, the tax incentives for doing so are better than ever. These benefits will expire (or be reduced) as of January 1, 2010. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act accompanied with lower interest rates make this a strategic time to invest in your practice to meet the demands of today’s healthcare industry. Because of these beneficial conditio... dental blog for dentists about dentistry blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2709257 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 15:33:33 +0100 2709257 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=563576&cid=t_114641_87_f&fid=34882&url=http%3A%2F%2Fbreathspakids.blogspot.com%2F2007%2F04%2Fwhy-results-from-allergy-or-intolerance_21.html You might expect a clinical test to have results that would be the same in any laboratory where a sample was tested and to be reproducible, e.g., the same result when tested on a different day. Beyond this, according to Dr. Adrian Morris:An Allergy Test should reliably identify one or more agents to which the patient reacts on each exposure. These allergens must be the cause of the patient’s immune-mediated allergic symptoms. This reaction need not necessarily be IgE mediated, but may involve a T-cell Delayed hypersensitivity reaction or direct Histamine release from Mast Cells and Basophils. The test should be reproducible and identify the implicated allergen on each occasion the test is done. The allergy should be specific to that allergen with minimal false positive test results (when...
