FEBRUARY EDITION, VOLUME 2020, NO. 2
A MESSAGE FROM YOUR 2020 CAPITAL MEDICAL SOCIETY PRESIDENT By Ken Whithaus, M.D., CMS President Looking back at the outstanding men and women who have served as CMS President, it is truly an honor to be counted among them. I will do my best to live up to the high standard that has been set by so many physicians, all of whom I look up to and respect. Speaking of looking back...Happy 2020! Welcome to the new decade. As we start this time of year, I always find myself reflecting back on the year that has passed. What went well, what did not, how I succeeded and how I failed; what surprises happened this year, both good and bad. But this year, with the start of a new decade, I have found my reflection back to be somewhat different, more broad in its depth. As we start a new ten years, the 2020’s, I bet that type of self-reflection is true for many of you as well. And while past contemplation can be good, the point is not to dwell on the past, but to bring focus on to what will come next. To think and to plan for the future. So I ask you; how do you see yourself, your practice, your family, your community changing? How does this look to you over the next six months, in a year, five years, and even ten years when 2030 gets here? Because as most of you know, time can go by very quickly. Over ten years’ time, physicians in their middle practice years (of which I would now count myself) will be close to becoming the most senior in our practices. Those who are the most senior will be looking at retiring, and those who have just started...well, you will get to the stage I feel that I am now starting; the middle years. But it’s not simply arriving at these years that matters, it’s what we do during them that will affect our patients and community. As anyone who has gone to medical or
dental school knows, we do not get to the end of a one year, five year or ten-year journey without planning and consideration for how you will get there. So I invite you to take time and reflect on where you have been and where you can help our community go in this new decade. For me, to reflect back brings into light my time in CMS over the last several years. My role started, as I am sure so did most of yours, by attending a few meetings and social events as a new physician in the community. I found CMS to be a great vehicle to meet and connect to people outside of the traditional work setting. A few years later and I was asked to consider becoming more involved and possibly serving on the board (thank you Dr. Neal). From there I had the opportunity to work on a few of the other committees; all the while getting to continue to build connections with other physicians. At some point I was asked by a good friend, who is also a local doctor, “What is the point of CMS? I get my CME’s online.” Well, after many, many 7:00 am CMS meetings and the occasional night away from my family I thought, “Hmm that is a good question.” And in all seriousness, I think that it is a question we should all ask when we are in reflection over how we spend our time, especially when starting a new decade; as our time is not unlimited. I did have a response for that person, and it was something along the lines of our mission statement. “Well, it helps me to promote the practice of medicine for the ultimate benefit of the patient.” And while this definition is true, as I thought of it more, my experience became more personal. The point for me could really be summed up by the last word in our title, “society.” To be a society means to work and struggle, and celebrate together as a group for a common cause. And the more I have thought of it, that is what CMS is to me. With the key CONTINUED ON PAGE 3

CONTINUED FROM COVER
point being that while we strive to benefit the patient, we cannot do so alone. We are a society, and in its very core that means we are together. Your medical society is only as strong as its members, and we need you to continue working together. So, as you look at the world around you and where it is going, are you happy with it? Are there things you want to change? Something you wish was better? Now consider as fast as this last decade has come and gone, 2030 will be here in the blink of an eye. The steps that we take in this first year of the 2020’s will set the tone for the next ten. How do you want your medical society to help shape the community in this new decade? CMS cannot do it alone, we need you. The question should not be what can CMS do for me, but instead what can I do to better our community, and how does CMS help me do it. Do you want to be more involved in helping those who cannot afford healthcare? If so, please consider the We Care Network. There are many opportunities to serve, from giving of your time to financial resources. Are you passionate about the mental health issues which plague our modern world? Get involved with the physician wellness program. Do you want to invest in the next generation of physicians? Consider helping with the CMS medical student scholarship program. Are you concerned, moved, or angered by state and national healthcare issues? Then please consider getting more involved with
the Florida Medical Association, either individually or as a CMS delegate to the FMA. Your voice can be heard on any number of issues from gun regulations to scope of practice. But the only way it is truly heard is if you let your representatives know, or go to the meetings and speak it yourself. Perhaps you do not have time, in that case consider giving financially to CMS to help act as your voice on these issues. Or maybe you are more interested in local connections and building a closer local medical community. If that is the case, consider getting more involved in the many CMS social events which occur throughout the year; and yes there is even a committee for that. Do you have valuable specialty medical advice that the community should know? Then please consider volunteering your time to give a CME talk to your peers, or contributing an article to Cap Scan. The scope of issues which CMS addresses is huge; ranging from legislative, charitable, educational, to supportive and social. Are any of these areas that you want to improve in our community over the next decade? If the answer is yes, then please, find an area that speaks to your heart, get involved and let’s make the 20’s the best that we can. Have a happy and blessed 2020!

2019 CMS FOUNDATION HOLIDAY AUCTION
THE CAPITAL MEDICAL SOCIETY FOUNDATION 2019 HOLIDAY AUCTION: A RECORD-SETTING YEAR By Pam Irwin, CMS Executive Director What happens when a Tesla and a carousel Palomino horse show up at a CMSF Holiday Auction? It’s not a joke but a statement that reflects the energy that donated items like these two show-stoppers brought to the event. This energy resulted in over $100,000 being raised in support of the CMSF’s mission. Those who attended the 2019 Holiday Auction were rewarded with a festive, fun evening that culminated in a Live Auction emceed by Dr. Scott Sellinger and Dr. John Mahoney who brought out the competitive spirit of some of our seasoned bidders for parking spaces, paintings, and yes, a beautiful carousel horse donated by retired pediatric dentist, Dr. E. Lynn McLarty, and a child’s Tesla donated by Carl Fuqua, Fuqua Insurance Agency, LLC. Serving as auctioneers for the Capital Medical Society Foundation’s 18th annual Holiday Auction, the two helped raise funds to support the Foundation’s mission of improving access to health care through its We Care Network and its robust scholarship program for FSU College of Medicine’s local students. When you grasp that the We Care Network leveraged over $7 million in donated specialty medical care last year and that many of our past scholarship recipients from FSUCOM are now practicing in the Tallahassee area, you begin to understand the importance of this annual event to the community in its funding support for these two programs. There were many big hearts this year who helped make this fund-raising event successful. Dr. and Mrs. Dan Kaelin challenged the bidders during the annual “thermometer donation” segment of the auction and both the We Care Network and the Scholarship Fund exceeded their original goals for the event and hit new benchmarks. Dr. Walt Colón shared his experience with a We Care Network patient who has been treated for cancer and provided dental care. As he spoke, the donations rose. When the scholarship recipients volunteering shared the importance of CMSF’s scholarships that put a check in their hands to cover living expenses, health insurance, and travel for residency 8

program interviews, donations surged to over $12,000. CMSF’s Scholarship Fund is unique in providing real dollars to students instead of a financial aid offset. The scholarship recipients truly appreciated that difference. This year’s auction offered superb wines donated by our member wine connoisseurs, several beautiful original paintings and photographs from local artists and photographers, several of whom are physicians, a “Downton Abbey” style vintage handbag, baskets of spa treatments, a one-hour flight with Dr. Alexander Brickler in his Cirrus SR22, spectacular dinners, trips to Fiji and destinations closer to home, a Yeti full of fun and fishing, and more. There was even a drawing this year for a group wine-tasting for those who participated in the Live Auction. We may not have had Sotheby’s “spectacular ring once owned by Austria’s Mona Lisa,” but we did have a “Best of Opening Nights at FSU” basket donated by Radiology Associates, and a 2-hour Carrabelle River Cruise. Although most of us enjoy a festive holiday party, the enthusiastic support of a record-breaking group of sponsors, donors, and smartphone-toting bidders to raise important dollars for the We Care Network program and medical school scholarships makes for an even more meaningful and lively evening. Reserved hospital parking gives “prime real estate” new meaning. Bidding reached a whole new level over hospital parking spaces at Capital Regional Medical Center and Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare. Almost $9,000 was raised in parking spaces alone this year. A huge thank you to Mark O’Bryant, CEO of Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare who generously provided a third space during the auction when the demand for a third spot was overwhelming. And then, there was Dr. Charles Manning’s painting, “Beyond,” of the St. Mark’s waterway. Simply beautiful, it drew first-time attendees into the bidding frenzy.
2019 CMS FOUNDATION HOLIDAY AUCTION
The success of the event is possible due to the strong support of its sponsors, donors, and bidders. EMTeLink generously provided $5,000 as our Title Sponsor. Florida Cancer Specialists, FSU College of Medicine, Neighborhood Medical Center, and Periodontal Associates of North Florida were each Presenting Sponsors at the $2,500 level. Corporate and Individual Sponsors provided the financial support to host the event and support the CMSF mission. Sponsorships enabled the funds from the Live and Silent Auctions to go directly to the Capital Medical Society Foundation’s mission. We are deeply grateful to all of the wonderful volunteer support, in addition to the Auction Steering Committee and Alliance Auction Committee. This year, we had eight 2019 scholarship recipients from FSUCOM volunteer to help guests register on BidPal, serve as Live Auction spotters, and help gather your items at the end of the event. A HUGE personal thank you to medical student Laura Ann Marie Davis who stayed late to help load the carousel horse back into its “stable” in the donated Keller Williams moving truck to be whisked away to its new home that evening. The medical students truly enjoy the opportunity to give back to the medical community that supports them so generously through medical education and scholarships. Some of our carb-counting friends went rogue and indulged in some truly wonderful culinary delights. A few confessed to just how many desserts they tried. Back by popular demand, like martini glasses of lobster mac ’n cheese and Banana Fosters Flambé. Shrimp and Grits was back by popular demand and probably helped raise the bids for the Jonah’s gift certificate. Diets may resume immediately. The University Center Club was transformed by the talented Alliance Auction team who has decorating down to an art form. They set the mood for the evening with ornaments, greenery from Bob McCully’s property, and pine cones from Dr. Tracey Hellgren’s acreage. Last, but not least, I thank the Capital Medical Society staff. The staff was all hands on deck to
assist guests and represented us well. The planning of the event begins each Spring and cranks into overdrive by August along with all of the other CMS events and administrative responsibilities. My heartfelt gratitude to Shannon Boyle whose event planning skills created an event that seemed effortless, but is truly a labor of love. My deep appreciation goes to Rosalie Carlin, who uploaded over $100,000 in auction items into BidPal, creates all of the signage, and helps coordinate the RSVPs. And they both do this in the midst of an already full schedule of CapScan deadlines, new memberships, CMEs, Lunch and Learns, other events to plan – and with grace. What a team! We look forward to December 3 for next year’s Holiday Auction. Mark your calendars for another wonderful event!

MEDICAL/LEGAL
WHAT FLORIDA’S NEW E-PRESCRIBING LAW MEANS TO YOU By Jeff Scott, Esq., FMA General Counsel At the behest of the Florida Retail Federation and the big chain pharmacies, Rep. Amber Mariano introduced HB 831, a bill that as originally filed would have prohibited paper prescriptions and would have required physicians to electronically transmit all prescriptions for all medications in all situations. The senate companion, SB 1192, was filed by Sen. Aaron Bean and initially mirrored the version filed by Rep. Mariano. The FMA, FOMA and the state specialty societies met with both sponsors to explain the problems with mandatory electronic prescribing and requested numerous changes to the legislation. While Rep. Mariano refused to make any changes to her bill, Sen. Bean agreed to several amendments to HB 831 after it passed the House. The end product, while still problematic, was a major improvement over the original bill. A full summary of HB 831 follows: HB 831 applies to any health care practitioner licensed by law to prescribe a medicinal drug and sets forth the following general rule for prescribing: If you are licensed to prescribe a medicinal drug, and you: (1) Maintain a system of electronic health records; or (2) Are an owner, employee or contractor of a licensed health care facility or practice that maintains a system of electronic health records and are prescribing in your capacity as an owner, employee or contractor of the licensed health care facility; then you must electronically transmit your prescriptions, unless an exception applies.
have to prescribe electronically, unless an exception applies, even if you are prescribing for a patient for whom you do not have an EHR (for example, if you are providing free care at a health fair – in which case exception (d) may well apply). If there are any questions about this requirement, please contact the FMA legal department at legal@ flmedical.org. The bill tasks the Board of Pharmacy, in consultation with the other boards of professions that can prescribe medicinal drugs, with developing rules to implement this bill. The FMA will work to ensure that these rules do not unduly burden the practice of medicine. WHEN DOES THIS ELECTRONIC PRESCRIBING MANDATE TAKE EFFECT? It is important to note that federal law already requires that on or after January 1, 2021, every prescription for a covered Part D Schedule II, III, IV or V controlled substance must be transmitted electronically (subject to certain exceptions similar to the ones above).i The FMA argued that HB 831 was unnecessary given the federal requirement, but that if the state insisted on expanding on federal law, the effective dates should be the same. Not an entity predisposed to making things easy, the legislature ignored this request and instead provided that HB 831, if signed by the Governor, shall take effect on January 1, 2020. However, the mandate to electronically prescribe contained in HB 831 does not apply to prescribers until the renewal of their license or by July 1, 2021, whichever is earlier. For osteopathic physicians, this means that the electronic prescribing mandate will apply to them by March 31st, 2020, the last day to renew their license after the effective date of this bill.
The exceptions are as follows: (a) The prescriber and the dispenser are the same entity. (b) The prescription cannot be transmitted electronically under the most recently implemented version of the National Council for Prescription Drug Programs SCRIPT standard. (c) The prescriber has been issued a waiver by the Department of Health (if you can demonstrate economic hardship, technological limitations outside of your control, or another exceptional circumstance, you can get a waiver from DOH for no more than 1 year). (d) The prescriber reasonably determines that it would be impractical for the patient in question to obtain a medicinal drug via an electronic prescription and such delay would adversely impact the patient’s health. (e) The prescriber is prescribing a drug under a research protocol. (f) The prescription is for a drug for which the FDA requires the prescription to contain elements that may not be included in electronic prescribing. (g) The prescription is issued to a hospice patient or a nursing home resident. (h) The prescriber, or the patient, determines that it is in the patient’s best interest to compare prescription drug prices among area pharmacies (this must be documented in the medical record).
For allopathic physicians, the situation is more complicated. Licensure renewal is split into two groups – the deadline for the even numbered year group is January 31, 2020. The deadline for the odd numbered year group is January 31, 2021. For the odd numbered year group, the electronic prescribing mandate will be effective by January 31, 2021 at the latest. For the even numbered year group, the effective date of the mandate will depend on when exactly the physician renews their license. Generally, a physician can renew up to 90 days prior to the deadline. Thus, if an MD renews their license prior to January 1, 2020, then the electronic prescribing mandate would not apply until July 1, 2021. If the MD renews their license on or after January 1, 2020, then the mandate to electronically prescribe would be effective on the date of renewal. This calculation is based on a plain reading of the bill. If any of the boards reach a different interpretation of when the mandate is effective, the FMA will advise our members immediately, and depending on the interpretation, may take legal action.

Based on this language then, if you are a physician that does not “maintain” an EHR, or work for a licensed health care facility or practice that does, you will not have to electronically prescribe when this mandate becomes effective. If you do maintain an EHR, then arguably you will 18 CAP SCAN - A CAPITAL MEDICAL SOCIETY PUBLICATION
SIMPLER TIMES
PEDRO AND MILLARD GONE FISHIN’ By Charles D. Williams, M.D., FACR, FAAP Dad called. He wanted to go fishin’. We hadn’t been in years but I was too busy and told him we would have to make it another time. We hung up and I couldn’t put it out of my mind and this started me to thinkin’. What if there’s not another time? Besides Dad’s health was not what it used to be so I called him back and said, “Let’s go.” He was beside himself. He was so excited. I thought he was going to cry and he sounded like a kid again. Pedro had got grown, got busy, and hardly had time to go fishin’ or spend any time with Millard. That’s why this trip meant so much to Dad. When Pedro was a little boy, Millard spent weeks gettin’ ready for a special fishing trip to Florida. He would check and recheck the cane poles. He would cut a stob, drive it into the ground and start grunting for worms. By rubbin’ the brick bats across the stob, this would create a vibration causing the grunt worms to crawl out of the ground to be picked up for fish bait. All this we did together. We would then grab some soda crackers, potted meat, sardines, moon pies and RC colas and head to Florida all the way down to Tallahassee to Lake Jackson always trying to catch the moon just right. In the mid 1940s we would rent a boat at Miller’s Landing on the other side of the church for 50 cents, spend the night on the banks or in the car. For a young boy this was livin’ in high cotton. On this day on November 11, 1993 I picked Dad up and headed once again back to Tallahassee. There we were – just like old times, Millard and Pedro, a father and son except now the father was 75 and the son 53 and except now the son had to bait his own hook. This time I must have felt what he used to have felt when he took Pedro fishin’.
as the people who fished here all day yesterday.” We said, “Yeh and we’re also havin’ fun.” We then remembered that one time me, Millard, and Dillard fished all day long and didn’t catch one single thing. On the way home we stopped by Knight’s Fish Market one block off the courthouse square in Moultrie. Dillard asked them to throw him 5 or 6 big ones over there where he was. They repeated, “Throw ‘em?” He said, “Yeh, so I can catch ‘em. I may be a poor fisherman but I ain’t no liar.” This day had passed rather quickly between Millard and Pedro. Not too much had been said but the feeling was there. The fishin’ had been good but we didn’t catch much fish. One small nibble caused us to sit there with each other all day. Hope is such a wonderful thing. There’s something special about fishing that brings a son and his dad together, locks out the rest of the world, and makes special memories. Dad had done this for Pedro. Now I got to do it for Dad. This opportunity had almost slipped by and had almost become a memory that never was. Over the years Pedro had growed up and had almost forgot there’s more to fishin’ than fishin’.

We finally got settled in and had been fishin’ for an hour or so when this young boy came up and asked us how many fish we caught. We replied, “Nothin’ yet.” He then said, “Ya’ll doin’ as good CAP SCAN - A CAPITAL MEDICAL SOCIETY PUBLICATION 19

Your gifts to the Capital Medical Society Foundation transform lives in the Big Bend.
The Capital Medical Society Foundation’s community of donors strategically help fulfill its mission “to support the charitable efforts of physicians and others, increase access to healthcare, promote education and serve the community’s health needs through innovative projects that are exemplary, affordable and dignified.” ➢ Access to healthcare is increased through gifts to the We Care Network and the We Care Network Endowment Fund. More than $105.4 million in donated specialty medical and dental care has been provided to low-income, uninsured patients since the program was created in 1992. In fiscal year 2018-19, which ended June 30, 2019, more than $7.4 million in health care was donated. Gifts support the operational expenses of the program including salaries and benefits of the case management team who coordinate the donated care. ➢ To provide incentives to keep medical students trained at the FSU College of Medicine in the Big Bend after completion of their residencies and help meet the growing demand for physicians in Florida, gifts to the Scholarship Fund provide scholarships to FSU College of Medicine students who have expressed an interest in returning to the Big Bend to practice after completion of their residencies. $50,000 was awarded in 2019. ➢ Gifts to the Capital Medical Society Foundation help provide operational resources for the Capital Medical Society Foundation. In addition, modest grants are awarded to area non-profits whose programs improve access to healthcare for the underserved. In 2019, the CMSF awarded a total of $10,000 in grants to Elder Care Services for their In-Home Services Program, the Big Bend Hospice for bereavement services, and the Lighthouse of the Big Bend to provide clients who have vision loss with the aids needed to manage their health and medical care independently. Gifts to Honor and In Memoriam: You can make a gift to the CMS Foundation in memory of someone who has passed away or in honor of someone, such as a fellow physician, you hold in high esteem or has taken care of you or your family. The CMS Foundation will send an acknowledgement letter to those you memorialize and honor. How to Give: Through the generosity of donors, funds have been created in order to establish financial stability to meet our mission. You can make a gift at any time to one of the CMS Foundation’s current funds: 1) Capital Medical Society Foundation-area of greatest need 2) The Capital Medical Society Foundation Endowment 3) We Care Network 4) We Care Network Endowment 5) Scholarship Fund 6) The Ronald G.
