TARRANT COUNTY PHYSICIAN (35)
March/April 2021
Search your feelings, you know it to be
true. I hope your year is starting out as
well as mine. I pray that all of us can find
perspective and optimism somewhere in
this world, so that despite the ill effects
of COVID-19 on all of our lives, and the
obstacles and the hazards along our
journey that was 2020, we can continue
to serve our patients in this, the highest
of all callings. I want to thank all of my
colleagues and compatriots who have
shared this year with me and my family. We
have shown that together we are stronger,
and we will overcome. My name is Hujefa
Vora, and this is the Last Word.

SPA Membership?
Contracting: SPA
reviews hundreds of
pages of legal terms
with the cooperation
of the health plan and
presents you with an
objective summary of the terms
in a format which is standardized. Then,
"SPA Compare" allows you to analyze
local Medicare and to other
commercial plans in a way
that is customized to your
practice.
Operations: The
contract summary
and SPA Compare may
easily be used by your
collections operation to
be sure that you are being
paid properly under
the SPA Contract. SPA
maintains relationships
with its contracted
health plans which help
you receive what you are
entitled to under the SPA
Contract.
Credentialing: All SPA Contracts
include delegated credentialing and
recredentialing. This allows you to
contract with many plans by completing
only one application and allows you to
keep your credentials updated with many
payors through only one entity.
Ancillary Services: SPA has group
purchasing rates for medical supplies,
medical waste disposal and other services
for SPA members. This helps you to keep
your overhead costs low.
Value: All of these benefits come from
a physician-run IPA for less than $80 per
month.

would make it through this war. The tears
burned with the memory of all those
we have lost. It didn’t need to get this
bad. Why did we have to lose so many?
And how many more will we lose? The
answer depends now on our resolve. We
must resolve to vaccinate as many of our
patients as we can as soon as possible.
As a medical community, we should
assist our public health departments,
hospitals, clinics, and our federal, state,
and local governments to roll out these
vaccines with great efficiency. The only
way we will win this war now is by
vaccinating the masses and following
the public health guidelines to wash our
hands, distance, and wear masks.
I returned to work in this New Year,
2021, reinvigorated. My optimism stems
from the smiles of my colleagues, which
have been renewed with hope that the
tide is turning. My optimism stems from
an understanding that our imaginations
power our spirit and our spirit powers our
hearts, and that science and ingenuity
and heart will prevail with the advent of
this vaccine. This year, 2021, will be an
amazing year for all of us because I will
will it to be so. The world is full of magic.
We are so blessed to be physicians.
