What are some of the things providers and practices should pay

For example:
MIPS APMs get the new APM Performance Pathway (APP) scoring
method. Is that good or bad?
This is the last year before Quality and Cost will each have to

Deadline: 3:00 PM EST - 14 December
Query:
The country's first COVID-19 vaccine will soon be arriving in
Georgia and across the country. But the hardest part might be
convincing the U.S. population to take the vaccine. But will
employers take "no" for an answer? A vaccine promises employers
a return to some form of normal, which is desperately needed as
businesses look to recover profits. Some say it is totally
within an employer's rights to implement this kind of
requirement. There are, however, a few notable exceptions to
this kind of blanket requirement. Anti-discrimination laws to
provide some protections. Under the Americans with Disabilities
Act, workers who don't want to be vaccinated for medical reasons
are eligible to request an exemption. In this case, an employer
would have to provide reasonable accommodation, such as allowing
the employee to work remotely. Are labor attorneys advising
clients to wait three months until after a significant number of
the population has been vaccinated. What about considering
incentives instead? Such as if you get the vaccine, you don't
have to have your temperature taken every day, or you don't have
to wear the same level of PPE. There's also talk of offering
financial perks to employees who opt in to taking the vaccine.
Looking for experts and businesses and people in Georgia about
how they approach this.
Requirements:

Category: Business and FinanceEmail: query-bn1k@helpareporter.net
Media Outlet: RedVentures
Deadline: 10:00 PM EST - 14 December
Query:
Hi, all. I am working on a story titled, "Women have more debt.
Here's how to pay it off and break the cycle." This would be an
evergreen, general story on how to get out of debt and adopt
strategies for staying out of debt.
But, I want to add a bit of context by briefly explaining that
women (especially women of color) have a lot more debt than men
-- and why. For instance, women have WAY more student loan debt
for two big reasons: They are more highly educated than men in
general and they tend to get worse repayment terms.
Additionally, other factors like the gender pay gap and
generations of systemic racism have left women, especially women
of color, starting behind in the finance game and therefore
forced to take on debt. We'd obviously also touch on credit
card and other kinds of debt. We have an upcoming story on CCDC
comparing card debt repayment strategies, but nothing to steal
from on general debt repayment. I'm interested in expert
insights for the piece.
Requirements:
Please email answers. Thank you!

Query:
Deciding when (and even whether) to disclose a disability or
illness to your employer can be challenging. On one hand, being
upfront about your health situation could open up lines of
support. On the other hand, your disclosure could make you
vulnerable to subtle acts of discrimination (however illegal
they may be) that could limit your career or just make your
colleagues think of you differently. When is the optimal time to
reveal your disability to your employer and manager? What's the
best way to request any accommodations you may need? How do you
strike the right balance between discretion and disclosure with
the people you work closely with? And does the advice change if
you're disclosing the health issue of a family member (that may
affect how you perform your job)?
Requirements:
I am looking to speak to an employee who is/was wrestling with
this particular issue. I am NOT looking for the employer's
perspective, rather I want to speak with people w a disability
or illness who is willing to talk about how they navigated the
work world. My questions are: When did you reveal your
disability to your employer and manager? What kinds of
considerations did you make as you were thinking about how and
how much to disclose? Did you request any accommodations? And
how were they handled? How do you talk to colleagues about your
health issue? What's your best advice for someone in a similar
situation?

licensing deals? c) how does this position other streaming
platforms with less anime, like Netflix or Hulu, to compete with
Sony's streamers? Will they relinquish their anime titles to
