2) Summary: Modifier 24 in medical coding -- what flies and what doesn't?

Name: Roy Edroso Part B News

Category: Biotech and Healthcare

Email: query-bku6@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Part B News

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 24 November

Query:

Most medical coders knows modifier 24 is used for an unrelated
E/M provided to patient still within a global period on a
procedure.

But does that apply to any "unrelated" service, and how
unrelated does it have to be? For instance, if a patient has
knee repair and her back gets stiff in recovery and a
physiatrist member of the surgeon's group has a look, does the
24 apply?

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

3) Summary: Are physicians liable for false risk adjustment claims?

Name: Roy Edroso Part B News

Category: Biotech and Healthcare

Email: query-bku7@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Part B News

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 24 November

Query:

Sometimes U.S. attorneys go after insurers for false claims
based on improper risk adjustment coding in capitation models
such as Medicare Advantage.

But they have also gone after physician organizations. Sometimes
the false claims originate with the physician coding.

When physician practices in Medicare Advantage, ACO, and other
models inaccurately portray patient risk, thereby inflating
payments, what is their exposure? Does the insurer's failure to
correct the claims indemnify the physicians?

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

If someone wants to practice medicine in the U.S. someday, what
does he or she need to do? Let's say you were giving advice to
an aspiring physician who was in high school. What would you
advise him or her to do as a high school student? How should
that person choose the college where they will be a premed, and
what should they do to optimize their chances of getting into a
good undergraduate institution?

Once in college, how should someone navigate the premed
curriculum and their undergraduate experience? How can they
ensure that they perform well academically. What types of
extracurricular activities do medical schools like to see, and
how should they ensure that they get a sufficient quantity and
quality of clinical experiences, research and volunteering? What
should they know about taking the MCAT, submitting medical
school applications, and being interviewed by medical schools?
How should they choose the schools where they apply?

If they are fortunate enough to be admitted into a medical
school, how can they ensure that they thrive in that environment
and what should they expect a medical degree program to be like?
How do osteopathic and allopathic medical schools differ from
one another? What can medical students do to ensure that they
learn enough in their medical school courses to do well on the
licensing exams they take during school and which are used as a
screening tool for residency programs?

What should aspiring doctors know about the process of selecting
a specialty and applying to residency? Also, what should future
international medical school grads know about how to qualify for
a U.S. residency and how to become a U.S. physician?

What do future doctors need to know about board certifications
and post-residency fellowships?

How much time should someone expect to take on the journey into
the medical profession, and how much effort should they
anticipate? Is the hard work involved in becoming a doctor
worthwhile? Why, or why not?

Requirements:

76) Summary: Is cloud-based unified communications better than the on-premises versions

Name: David Roe CMSWire

Category: General

Email: query-bl86@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: CMSWire

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 23 November

Query:

Gartner has just released its MQ for cloud-based Unified
Communication platforms

The functional advantages of UCaaS, in comparison with
premises-based UC, are compelling. This is partly because the
vast majority of R&D budgets are being allocated to cloud-based
solutions. Vendors are still selling premises-based UC, but
investing little in feature development and innovation for
on-premises deployments. With UCaaS, the user experience, mobile
capabilities, performance dashboards and management portals are
superior, and there is generally considerably less of a
requirement for expertise from customer administrators than
there is for premises-based solutions. Digital workplace
application leaders recognize these advantages and are therefore
seeking UCaaS whenever possible, if modernization is among their
priorities.

In practical terms is Unified Communications better?

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 23 November

Query:

I am working on a story for PEPLE about why it can be damaging
to a relationship to prioritize your phone over your partner.
Looking for relationship experts to comment on:

Why you should ban or limit cell phones in front of your
partner. "Phubbing" (the act of ignoring someone while being on
your phone aka using your phone to snub them) can be bad for
your relationship.

There is a new study out about how paying attention to your
phone vs. others. The results showed that if you are ignored by
another while on your phone, it can lead to depression, anxiety,
resentment, etc. Why do you think this is the case?

What are some ways in which cell phones can be damaging to a
relationship?

What are some ways in which you can set some healthy boundaries
with your phone?

What if you need to use your phone in the event of work or a
family situation but you have rules?

Anything else about how putting some boundaries up around your
phone can help your relationship?

Have phones ever become an issue in your own relationship? If so
how did you resolve them? Do you have some healthy boundaries
that you set?

Please let me know your full name, title, and location plus
website to link to. Thanks!

Query:

TravelAwaits' 50+ (boomer) readers are passionate about the
holidays. We are looking for unique, festive, and fun
recommendations for light displays across the U.S. Please
describe any important information about the display. Where is
it located? What can visitors expect to see/experience? Is there
a fee to visit? Why do you recommend the display? Anything else
you'd like to share about the display and why it's worth a
visit?

Requirements:

We're looking for neighborhoods that go all out for the holiday
season. We encourage you to recommend the displays that you
visit year after year -- rather than commercial/professional
displays.

If we like your suggestion, we will reach out to you directly,
and in order for your pitch to be included, you MUST reply with
at least one photograph (or a Youtube video) of each light
display you want to recommend. You must have taken or have
permission to authorize the publication of any photos you share.
Include helpful details about the display and why you like it.
