ABOUT SURFERS HEALING VIRGINIA BEACH CAMP
August 19th & 20th
|
|
Surfers Healing was founded by Israel and Danielle Paskowitz. Their son, Isaiah, was diagnosed with autism at age three. Like many children with autism, he often suffered from sensory overload– simple sensations could overwhelm him. The ocean was the one place where he seemed to find respite.
A former competitive surfer, Israel hit upon an idea–with Isaiah on the front of his surfboard, and Izzy steering from the back, the two spent the day surfing together. Surfing had a profound impact on Isaiah. Israel and Danielle decided they wanted to share this unique therapy, they began to host day camps at the beach where children with autism and their families could be exposed to a completely new experience of surfing.
This will be the 16th year that Virginia Beach has hosted the Surfers Healing Foundation Team. Each year has been a huge success thanks to the sea of support from our many Community Partners, Sponsors and Volunteers. This occasion has been rated by locals and participating families as one of the most touching and most inspirational events they have ever experienced!

The Miracle Child: Book Launch August 21st 1pm |
As most of you know, our family was involved in a horrific car accident in November 2001. Even though only 2 family members were injured, our entire family was affected by this tragedy.
During the early days of the pediatric intensive care unit stay, we asked if there were parents we could speak to who had gone through this experience and looked for books to read about others’ stories. We never found any.
A few years later, when Kelly started telling our story to EMT Refresher Courses and other groups, she was told repeatedly to write a book because it was such an amazing story. We took it to heart and wrote The Miracle Child: Traumatic Brain Injury and Me. We also wanted to give back to two organizations so a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Loudoun County Volunteer Rescue Squad and the Brain Injury Association of Virginia.
As excited as we are to finally reach this peak, we are also nervous about putting our innermost thoughts and emotions into the world. However, this has been a dream of ours for quite some time and the goal has always been to share the story in hope that it will help another family cope with traumatic brain injury or any other chronic health condition.

MONTHLY DISCUSSION WITH YOUR
SERVICE FACILITATOR

EVV:
PPL Time4Care EVV app recently went through an update that will let attendants and consumers know if their (attendants) shifts are EVV compliant. Please note, attendants that are validated live-ins will not have this feature displayed as they are not required to be EVV compliant. PPL notified attendants and consumers, via email, of this update. A notification has also been displayed in the app for the past few weeks.
Plan of Care Hours:
Individuals using Aces$ will no longer be able to use more than their bi-weekly plan of care hours. Previously, Aces$' system allowed for attendants/EORs to utilize or approve as many hours for the authorized period without restriction. After 7/28/2022, this will be limited to the approved bi-weekly plan of care amount of hours.
Tell Your Services Facilitator
Changes to your MCO, Health Insurance Premium Payment (HIPP) Program Enrollment, or Medicaid eligibility affects your authorization for Personal Care, Respite, and Companion hours. Moms In Motion needs to know where to send authorization requests to. Your Service Facilitator is often one of the last to know about these types of changes. You must have an authorization in place with the appropriate entity and fiscal agent in order for your attendant to work and get paid. Don't risk a lapse in services.
At every visit:

Your Moms In Motion Service Facilitator will be happy to assist you with anything mentioned in this section. Ask during your next visit! |

Renewing Your Medicaid
Individuals on the CCC Plus & both of the DD Waivers (CL/FIS) are required to renew their Medicaid annually. A paper renewal application is usually mailed to the primary residence the month before the individual’s renewal month. You will not be required to have another screening.
- When completing the renewal application, only include information regarding the individual requesting Medicaid.
- Write “CCC Plus/Long Term Care” at the top of the form.
-
Section 5: Renewal of coverage in future years (optional) – to make it easier to determine your eligibility for help paying for health coverage in future years, you can agree to allow the Medicaid or FAMIS programs or the Marketplace to use income data, including information from tax returns. You will not receive a renewal application. Instead, you will receive notification of the outcome of your renewal. 5 years is the maximum number of years allowed.
You can renew using the following methods:
-
By phone:
- Call Cover Virginia at 1-855-242-8282
- TTY: 1-888-221-1590
-
By mail or in person: Complete the paper renewal form and return it to your local department of social services.
