A Little Information About Our HTC Our HTC is a federally funded comprehensive hemophilia treatment center that has a multidisciplinary team of experts who care for patients with bleeding disorders and whose staff spend their time caring for these patients.

Transitioning The Beginning Steps: (Intake) The pediatric patients treatment center will contact the USF Adult treatment center and speak with either myself or our nurse coordinator to set up an appointment time. Our comprehensive clinic offers appointments the fourth Tuesday of every month. The intake process takes place over the phone with the patients demographics and is then scheduled into our clinic. Once the pediatric patient has an appointment the social worker (myself) =) will call to set up a pre visit in the patients home if with in distance. If we can not meet in the home the social worker will discuss information assessed and provided during the comprehensive visit at the clinic.

Transitioning (Making It a Little Easier) We offer educational dinner meetings where new patients and extended patient families are invited to attend (this is a great opportunity for our new pediatric patients to meet some of our established patients as well as meet our staff). We offer home visits with new pediatric patients if they are within our driving distance. We also encourage our established patients to bring their sons, grandsons, daughters, or granddaughters (transitioning) with a bleeding disorder to clinic a couple of times before their appointment to familiarize them with our staff and the way that we run our clinic. We like to think of our treatment center as a large extended family and would like to make it as easy as possible for you and your child or children to join our family.

Transitioning (Home Visit or Initial Clinic Visit) Questions and Issues Discussed In Initial Visit I have???...(Hemophilia A, B, VWD, or Other My highest level of education is???

Transitioning (Insurance Issues) Patients come to us with insurance and without. If a patient does not have insurance there are many different avenues that we may take to aid in obtaining insurance, providing medication, and other various services.

Transitioning (Insurance Issues Cont.) The Services, Referrals, & Assistance We can Provide: Discuss and Educate the patient about Florida Medicaid and Medicare. Educate the Patient on Social Security Benefits such as SSI (Supplemental Security Income), SSD (Social Security Disability), Food Stamps, and Retirement benefits (based on age). Educate the patient on programs sponsored by the pharmaceutical companies to provide factor, sometimes at no cost, to hemophilia patients who are without insurance and who meet certain eligibility requirements.

Transitioning (Insurance Issues Cont.) Refer the patient to the A.C.C.E.S.S. program The Advocating for Chronic Conditions, Entitlements and Social Services is a program that assists persons with chronic medical illnesses, with state and federal entitlement programs, eligibility for group health insurance under federal law (COBRA and HIPPA), and health insurance through state high-risk pools and other alternatives. Refer the patient to PSI Patient Services Incorporated assists our patients in accessing health insurance, aid in payments of premiums, and pharmacy co-payments assistance programs. Also speak with Fran Haynes at the Hemophilia Foundation of Greater Florida about any services or funds she may have to help assist this patient.
