1) Summary: Billing question: Patient gets COVID test; then comes back. New patient, or established?

Name: Roy Edroso Part B News

Category: Biotech and Healthcare

Email: query-az3g@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Part B News

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 6 July

Query:

If a patient comes to a medical practice and gets a COVID test,
then comes back in a few days for the results, what is the
patient on the second visit -- new, or established?

On the one hand, I'm told AMA's and CMS' definition of
"professional services" -- which determine whether the visit
counts -- would not include a simple test by a medical tech or
MA.

On the other hand, I'm told that the med tech/MA could only
provide the test incident-to, so that would be under the
physician's or QHCP's NPI -- hence a professional service, and
the follow-up visit would be as an "established" patient.

What do you say?

Thanks, Roy Edroso Editor Part B News
https://pbn.decisionhealth.com/

Requirements:

Any expert in medical billing, especially as regards the
definition of "new" and "established" patients.

Media Outlet: Verywell Health

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 4 July

Query:

Hey Everyone,

I'm currently working on a feature article for Verywell Health
-- a popular publication with millions of page views -- and I
need the expert input of a doctor, chiropractor or anyone who is
an authority on musculo-skeletal system.

FDA just approved an implant by Mainstay Medical... you can read
more about it here:

https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/932740?nlid=136065_3901&src=wnl_newsalrt_200622_MSCPEDIT&uac=372068CK&impID=2430294&faf=1

https://www.mainstay-medical.com/en/clinicians

But here's where I need your expert opinion:

- Is this for anyone with low back pain who has failed
treatment, or does it have to be associated with the "multifidus
muscle dysfunction?"

- What types of treatments do people need to go through before
they are candidates for this?

- How does it work? (If you mention whichever nerves it affects,
I should be able to include an interactive anatomy asset to
highlight them)

-Anything else you'd like to add?

As you could imagine, you will be credited for all your
contributions and this is a huge chance to get your name out
before our millions of readers.

This is kind of urgent, so I'll really appreciate rapid
responses.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Cheers, Richard.

37) Summary: Need experts for story: Why more single women want to own homes

Name: Erik Martin CTW Features

Category: General

Email: query-az8e@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: CTW Features

Deadline: 1:00 PM EST - 9 July

Query:

Hello. My name is Erik Martin, and I am a reporter for Real
Estate Weekly, a nationally syndicated section published weekly
in newspapers across the country (visit
tinyurl.com/ejmctwfeatures for samples). I'm looking to
interview real estate agents/brokers, lenders, attorneys,
housing industry analysts, real estate faculty/professors, and
other real estate experts for the following story:

Single women want to own homes: Here's why. Fresh data from
First American (details at
https://blog.firstam.com/economics/for-single-women-homeownership-increasingly-comes-first)
found that in 2019, the homeownership rate for single women
(including widowed, separated, or divorced) was 2.2 percent
higher than single men, according to anonymized household-level
survey data. Differences between how single women and men
prioritize homeownership may help explain why the homeownership
rate among women exceeds men. One 2018 report by Bank of America
found that single women prioritize owning a home more than their
single male counterparts (73 percent vs. 65 percent). They're
also prioritizing homeownership over many key life priorities,
such as getting married (41 percent) and having children (31
percent). Homeownership is a key tool for wealth creation in the
United States, and single women are increasingly choosing to
invest in homes and embracing wealth creation through home
buying. The single female homeownership trend has largely
followed the national homeownership rate, increasing in the
early 2000s and peaking in 2005, before falling in the aftermath
of the recession. According to their analysis, the homeownership
rate for single women has increased from a 20-year low of 49
percent in 2016 to almost 51 percent in 2019. This piece will
summarize the major findings and offer perspectives and tips
from experts as to what single-women should be thinking
about/doing before purchasing a home. I can accept written
responses (full-sentences that I can use as quotes) via email to
the following questions. My deadline is noon central, Thursday,
July 9.

QUESTIONS: 1. What did you find interesting or unexpected about
any of the aforementioned study findings, and why? 2. Why do
more single women want to own homes lately, especially compared
to single men? What's behind this trend? 3. What are the pros
and cons of buying and owning a home for a single woman versus
renting? 4. What do you recommend to single women: Who is a
good candidate for buying/owning a home and why? Who is not?
When should they start the home shopping/buying process? What
strategies and resources should they pursue? 5. What's your
prediction: Will the rate of single women buying/owning homes
continue to increase in the short- and long-term? Why/why not?
6. Any other thoughts, tips or suggestions on this topic? 7.
What is your full name, title, company, city/state location, and
email address?
