HCDA
Established 1950
Celebrating Over 60 Years
of Excellence
Happy New Year!
Hopefully the end of the year
celebrations reinvigorated us
all for 2015, and we find time
to give back to our community
by volunteering for events like
GKAS or Outreach Centers, as we know there is a need for
free dentistry.
As you may know, HCDA's Give Kids A Smile® event is scheduled for Friday,
February 13, at the Nebraska Avenue location of Tampa
Family Health Center. The theme for the event is "Love Your
Teeth" since it is the day before Valentine’s Day.
We are grateful to Drs. Iranmanesh and Carr, who
are heading this event, and to Drs. Dina Howell and Dorothy
Theogene for making this great location happen. The hours
will be 7 am – 5 pm, and the goal is to treat 10-15 patients per hour (making our
goal 133 patients). We encourage you and your staff to volunteer for
this wonderful event: morning, afternoon or both. Please remember without
volunteers we can’t have this event! To volunteer, contact the HCDA office.
On a different note, Dentists’ Day on the Hill is approaching, and I want to remind
members how important it is to show we care and make an extra effort to
participate. Please help shape our future and join colleagues in Tallahassee on
Wednesday, March 25. There will be a briefing on the evening of Tuesday, March
24, at the Aloft Hotel to prepare you for your meetings the next day with legisla-
tors and/or their staff. Please mark your calendars and adjust your schedule to
advocate on behalf of our profession and patients. Contact FDA for details.
Looking forward to seeing you at the general membership meeting January 27! Cordially,
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Beatriz Totzke, DDS

HCDA Newsletter Goes Electronic
At the last general membership meeting, HCDA members voted a couple votes short of unanimity to move to an electronically
transmitted newsletter in order to reduce the ever-increasing cost of printing and mailing it. We will transition to a fully electronic
newsletter over the remainder of the 2014-15 association year. Comments and suggestions regarding this change are welcome.
Congratulations Dr. Britten
Congratulations to HCDA member Dr. Leonard Britten who will serve as the new vice chairman of the Florida Board of
Dentistry.
Opting in for Medicare
If your office is “Opting In” for Medicare, you must submit Medicare form CMS-8550 before June 1, 2015. An article in the No-
vember/December 2014 issue (Membership issue) of Today’s FDA explains this process. However, the article does not give an ad-
dress for where to send the form. According to the FDA, the completed CMS-8550 form should be sent to: Provider Enrollment,
P.O. Box 44021, Jacksonville, FL 32231.
To verify if there are any changes to this procedure, you may call First Coast Service Options (866-454-9007). Their web site is
