Mrvan Announces Winner of 2024 Congressional Art Competition from Munster High School Washington, DC – Today, Rep. Frank J. Mrvan announced that Madalyn Martin of Munster High School is the winner of the 2024 Congressional Art Competition. Madalyn used gouache paint to create her winning artwork, “Stan’s Bait & Tackle,” which depicts Stan’s Bait and Tackle store located in Hammond at night time. Congressman Mrvan stated, “Thank you to all of the students from Indiana’s First Congressional District who showcased their creativity in the Congressional Art Competition. Congratulations to Madalyn from Munster High School on your outstanding achievement and exceptional display of artistic talent.” Madalyn Martin stated, “I was working on adding a few pieces to my architecture portfolio for college and took a picture of this shop because I love the influence of Mexican architecture style on the building. I had been working on this painting in my free time for months and decided to use it as my submission for the Congressional Art Competition because I felt that the building style highlights the way that the culture of local people can impact the community as a whole.” Elena Lopez, Art Teacher at Munster High School, stated, “Madalyn Martin has a strong sense of line, color, surface and texture, of balancing and composing her personal works. She applied these as Costume Designer for the Munster HS Theatre, and in presentation of group works for Regional Art shows. She often uses mixed media that challenges the surfaces of her works, brings a fluidity, merging the 2D and 3D Design spaces into cohesive presentations and performances. This translation of design and constructed space will serve her well, as she plans on majoring in architecture at Ball State’s College of Architecture and Planning.” Morgan Nolan, Principal of Munster High School, stated, “We are proud of Madalyn’s hard work and dedication to the arts, and this award is well deserved. This award continues a long legacy of visual arts at Munster High School.” Bret Heller, Superintendent of the School Town of Munster,

Her remarkable achievement not only showcases her exceptional talent and hard work but also highlights the commitment to the arts fostered within the School Town of Munster. We are proud of her accomplishments and look forward with excitement to her promising future. Madalyn has undoubtedly brought great honor to Munster High School.” Julia Gibbs, Executive Director of the Miller Beach Arts & Creative District and Judge of the Congressional Art Competition, stated, “Among a field of very strong contenders, Ms. Martin impressed me with her technical skill in painting a night scene and with the subject – a quintessentially Midwestern streetscape.”

Speaking Of Seniors

Helping Widow Fight Medical Bills Totaling Over $200,000 WOODROW WILCOX On July 2, 2024, I helped a client from Highland file a complaint with the Indiana Attorney General’s Office of Consumer Protection against an insurance company and two hospital companies. The combination of medical bills totaled over $200,000. All the claims were for care to her late husband during his last weeks of life. In this case, I found evidence that she was being billed by two different hospital billing firms for the same services on the same dates of service. Medicare denied almost everything in the claims. If a claim is filed incorrectly, Medicare will deny the claims until they are filed correctly and in a timely manner. The insurance company was refusing to pay because it did not receive any of the claims within the 15 months allowed for filing a claim. I highlighted the statements on the Medicare claims reports that showed the filings had been made within the 15-month period. I believed that the original filings with Medicare had been filed timely but not correctly by Medicare rules. If the billing companies had filed the claims correctly and timely, then the insurance company should pay on the claims. If the billing companies did not file in a correct and timely way, then those firms should “EAT THE BILLS”.

There were multiple issues in the widow’s case. The Indiana Attorney General has more leverage to force the insurance company and the two billing companies to answer questions honestly than I have. I wanted our client, the widow, to be treated honestly and well by all parties. Helping her file the complaint against three companies was what I believed would help her the most. All the help that I gave this client was FREE OF CHARGE. This insurance agency helps all our clients with such medical bill problems at no charge to demonstrate to our clients that we really do care for them. If your insurance agent or agency does not give this high level of customer service to clients, why don’t you switch to an insurance agency that does give a high level of customer service – like this one? Note: Woodrow Wilcox is the senior medical bill case worker at Senior Care Insurance Services in Merrillville, Indiana. He has saved clients of that firm over three million dollars by fighting mistakes and fraud in the Medicare billing system. Also, Wilcox wrote the book SOLVING MEDICARE PROBLEM$ which is available through book stores or online.
