Creating expert health content engages consumers to better understand disease processes, medical interventions by healthcare providers, and lifestyle management. When consumers visit their healthcare providers, the window of learning opportunity is narrowed by the omnipotent demand for services. Consumers need accurate, reliable sources of health information that supports their ability to follow the treatment plan. Nurses are in a unique position to educate healthcare consumers about individual disease processes. Diabetes and hypertension are 2 serious processes leading to progressive health decline. It doesn’t have to be this way. Nurses are experts at teaching patients how to manage the effects and potential complications of diabetes, hypertension, and other disease processes. Health content that is easy to understand engages consumers to learn about disease, medication, and lifestyle management, including diet, exercise, smoking cessation and mental health. A consumers quality of life is dependent on access to expert health content. Healthcare providers are dependent on consumers learning to care for themselves. When consumers do not care for themselves, disease progresses, preventable complications occur, and patient risk heightens. Thus, consumers are sicker. Providers work harder to provide care and documentation, and our healthcare system weakens. Nurse expert writer provide health content to engage consumers leading to optimal health outcomes. Education is one of the key factors to improving our healthcare system, easing workload of providers, and allowing consumers to live their best life. Share your thoughts. Together we can do this.
Most physicians are undercoding, not over-coding in my experience, resulting in a lot of unreimbursed care, particularly in risk-based models. Administrative burden & lack of understanding how care is reimbursed compound the problem.

My Direct Care Journey As a direct care doctor, I no longer need an Optum Pay user account. "Your Optum Pay user account is scheduled for deactivation due to inactivity." To prevent your access to Optum Pay from being deactivated, please login to Optum Pay by 10/28/2023 " 😲 Optum sends me this email every month. I am not going to waste my energy calling them to please deactivate the account. #insuranceproblems #notmyproblemanymore #directcare #directpay #directcarepodiatry

Speaking from my current role as a community pharmacist, this issue has been a nightmare over the past several days. It has been almost a week since this nightmare started and those responsible are NO CLOSER to a solution... this has significantly increased the burden on the Healthcare team as a whole and is not sustainable. We still have no new information and patient's health is being put in jeopardy due to increasing wait time to treatment and uncertainty about what to do next. Not to mention patient safety - This issue is increasing potential errors due to duplicate Rx's arriving at different times, or electronic cancel requests that arrive via fax but look almost identical to a valid prescription. Or necessary antibiotics/antivirals that have been sent but never arrive at all... I spent a very large chunk of my shift today listening (and re-listening... repeat xN) to voicemails with new verbal Rx's from prescribers who repeatedly get "electronic prescription failed" notices. Controlled substances are not even coming through at all (and if they do I legally can not accept them as valid per my state law). UnitedHealthcare, Optum, Change Healthcare ***This is unacceptable.*** Please do something to fix this.
This will be our third full day with NO ability to submit electronic bills. THREE days because Change Healthcare has been down due to a data breach. We are seeing our patients, doing our work, but we will not be paid for this work in a timely manner due to this. For those who don't know, Change Healthcare is owned by UnitedHealth Group and Optum. Yes the same United/Optum who reported BILLIONS of dollars in profits last year. The fact that they experienced a major data breach is bad enough. But for it to take DAYS to restore services is not acceptable. Meanwhile, we still have to pay our bills and our people. Will UnitedHealth Group and Change Healthcare give us providers, pharmacists, and hospitals cash when our wells dry up in a few weeks?

Last week, Healthsperien released its comprehensive summary of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Advancing Interoperability and Improving Prior Authorization Processes final rule. Overall, this final CMS rule aims to improve #patient, #physician, and #payer access to interoperable patient data and reduce the burden of prior authorization processes. Specifically, it includes provisions to improve prior authorization processes through policies and technology to enhance communication between patients, physicians, and payers.

Challenging the Status Quo of Healthcare Revenue Cycle | Founder of Tarpon Health | Host of "My Good Friends" Podcast | Founder of the RCM Leaders Forum
There is a lot of misinformation and swirl happening with this Change issue. I want to highlight and react to 3 things this morning. 1. There is a story circulating that Optum used their crisis to buy up a clinic in Oregon that was struggling with cash. While that certainly feeds the narrative we'd all like to believe, its actually not true. Corvallis Clinic had intentions to sell to Optum in Dec 23 and publicly announced it on Jan 30, 2024. The only thing they did was speed up the process partly because of this issue but it wouldn't have changed anything. ➡️ Lesson: Let's focus on fixing the issues and not sensationalize it 2. I've seen a number of posts from physicians that are frustrated with the lack of communication and transparency from Change and their billing platforms or companies. One in particular was getting (in my opinion) bad advice from Change and blaming their billing platform for not going along with it. The billing platform was steadfast on changing clearinghouses. This physician just didn't understand the complexities here and is listening to whoever told her what she wanted to hear. ➡️ Lesson: Dig into the details before making rash judgements or decisions 3. AHA and others have been lobbying the government to push insurers to "relax or eliminate the pre-authorization requirements" for the time being. I personally think this is a terrible idea and one that doesn't really help us. The only thing this is really going to do is wildly increase takebacks and audits a year from now (talk to my good friend Kevin Lasser about this). And let's be honest, typically this is an entirely different group of people getting auths then working on follow up claims. Again, another example where people who don't understand the business think they are doing "good work". ➡️ Lesson: Ask the people that do the work what they need The ongoing saga...love to hear your thoughts or if you think differently. #healthcare #revenuecycle #cyberattack

I Help Physicians & Practice Owner’s to scale Their Healthcare business with proven social selling strategies | Healthcare Business Development Specialist | 21-31% Revenue increase Guaranteed | 97% claims paid
Why Physicians Dislike the Term 'Provider' ?🤔 ➔ Since 1965, the government and commercial insurance sectors use "provider" for entities receiving Medicare payments, including physicians (AMA report). ➔ Some physicians find it negative and derogatory, belittling their extensive training (Bayhealth's Dr. Thomas Vaughan). ➔ Physicians feel "provider" is too generic, inadequate to convey their qualifications. ➔ AMA policy urges physicians to be identified as such, emphasizing professionalism. ➔ Bayhealth actively removes "provider" from medical staff bylaws, ensuring publications use "physician." Let's advocate for respectful and accurate language in healthcare! 🩺💬 #PhysicianNotProvider #HealthcareCommunication #physicians

"A significant majority of physicians (88%) said burdens associated with prior authorization were high or extremely high. This costly administrative burden pulls resources from direct patient care as medical practices complete an average of 45 prior authorizations per physician, per week." https://hubs.li/Q02N2cPR0 Let Health Prime help and say goodbye to the hassle of benefits verification and prior authorization. Continue providing exceptional care, and let us handle the rest. #medicalbilling #healthcaresolutions #virtualoffice #priorauthorization
