TAMPA, FL, October 26, 2012 (Press-News.org) Patients seeking cosmetic surgery in Tampa will find it easier to afford the procedures they want thanks to new financing options available at Castellano Cosmetic Surgery Center (www.castellanocosmeticsurgery.com). The center partnered with CareCredit, an exclusive credit card provider that offers healthcare financing services. With CareCredit, patients can qualify for 24- to 60-month financing with many fixed-rate, low-interest plans.
"We partnered with CareCredit because the company has an established reputation in this area of financing," says Dr. Joseph Castellano, founder of Castellano Cosmetic Surgery Center. "After looking at many possible alternatives, I'm confident that we've found a financing provider to help our patients fit cosmetic procedures into their budgets."
Before partnering with CareCredit, Castellano Cosmetic Surgery Center already offered patients a variety of payment options. Patients are required to make a 10% deposit to schedule a procedure, with the remaining balance due two weeks prior to the surgery. Clients were able to pay the balance for their surgical procedure via cash, check, Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover. But now, CareCredit gives patients one more way to have affordable, monthly payments.
"I've always believed that choosing cosmetic surgery is a substantial investment in yourself," adds Dr. Castellano. "My practice works hard to make cosmetic surgery an affordable option so that our patients feel at the end of the day that they have received an exceptional value."
The CareCredit program works by offering low monthly payment options for healthcare services, including cosmetic surgery. Available for people of all ages, the flexible plans can be tailored to fit an individual's needs. Upon acceptance, clients can use their CareCredit account to pay for procedures conducted at Castellano Cosmetic Surgery Center.
"I look forward to our partnership with CareCredit," notes Dr. Castellano. "CareCredit will make it much easier to afford cosmetic surgery, regardless of the procedure, and patients will now have even more flexible payment options."
Castellano Cosmetic Surgery Center (www.castellanocosmeticsurgery.com) was founded in Tampa by Dr. Joseph J. Castellano, a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, the American College of Surgeons, and American Medical Association. A Tampa native, Dr. Castellano's unique, personalized, hometown approach has redefined the local cosmetic surgery scene in facial rejuvenation, breast augmentation, abdominoplasty, and body contouring.

Electronic Surveillance: Valid Evidence or Unconscionable Invasion of Privacy?
2012-10-26
Anyone who has ever seen a movie about the mob or watched a few episodes of "Law & Order" is probably familiar with the practice of electronic surveillance. That being said, though, Hollywood is focused on a compelling story, not about conveying the laws behind evidence-gathering practices and bringing criminal charges. Due in no small part to the prevalence of electronic surveillance in television shows and movies, most people think that all the police have to do is either set up a hidden camera or plant a "bug" in someone's phone before sitting ...
No Expectation of Privacy When Using a Cell Phone
2012-10-26
The Fourth Amendment protects Americans from unlawful searches and seizures. Among other things, this means that if law enforcement suspects someone of a crime, they need a probable-cause warrant before they can search a person's home, car or otherwise invade their privacy.
But this does not seem to be the case for tracking cell phone GPS activity. A recent 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decision held that law enforcement does not need a warrant to track a person through cell phone GPS signals. In the case, the DEA suspected a man of drug trafficking. They learned ...

Did you know that smaller cars are involved in more personal injury claims than are larger vehicles? The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and the Highway Loss Data Institute analyzed data for model years 2009 through 2011 to determine which automobiles are involved in the most insurance claims.

- Bodily injury liability (injuries to other cars' motorists and passengers)
- Crashes (general property damage)
Vehicle models ...
Supreme Court of South Carolina Reverses Drug Crimes Conviction
2012-10-26
A variety of legal issues can influence the criminal defense strategy in any drug crimes case, from suppression of evidence to technical arguments about the nature or quantity of controlled substances. A recent South Carolina case involving charges of a drug trafficking conspiracy was finally resolved based on unconstitutional limits on the defendant's right to confront his accusers.
In State v. Gracely, the Supreme Court of South Carolina overturned a conviction for conspiracy to traffic a large quantity of illegal drugs. The basis for the reversal was the defendant's ...
New York Appellate Court Discusses Compensation for Workplace Assaults
2012-10-26
From office buildings to construction sites, sometimes tension runs high at the workplace. It is not uncommon for an employee to suffer serious injury in a physical altercation with a coworker, customer or some third party.
Normally, on-the-job injuries are compensable through the New York workers' compensation system. But what about injuries that stem from a workplace assault? As made clear in a recent New York appellate court ruling, the availability of worker's comp benefits depends largely on the nature of the incident.

Equitable Distribution and Divorce in New Jersey
2012-10-26
When going through a divorce, it is crucial to understand how marital assets are divided so that each party can determine what he or she believes is fair and does not have any regrets when the proceedings are finalized.
The process of distributing marital assets in New Jersey is often called Equitable Distribution. The parties themselves can decide how to divide the assets, but if they cannot do so, a judge will make the decision for them. It is important to note that in the legal context, equitable does not necessarily mean equal.
Property Included in Equitable Distribution

Study Warns That Patients Are Often Discharged With Lab Results Unread
2012-10-26
A recent study found that the results of medical tests done right before a patient is discharged from a hospital often go unread, and, as a result, can lead to serious health consequences for patients, including missed diagnoses and readmission.
The Australian study was published in August in the Journal Archives of Internal Medicine as a research letter. Its findings are also of concern for U.S. patients as evidenced by the U.S. National Library of Medicine citing it on its website as well as a statement by Dr. Gordon Schiff, Associate Director of the Brigham Center ...
