Query:
Physician practices have complained for years about burdensome
prior authorization requirements from insurers.
Now CMS has a new proposed rule requiring many technical fixes
-- including implementation of Document Requirement Lookup
Service (DRLS) that should speed authorization.
Would this rule, if finalized, relieve the prior authorization
issue bedeviling physician practices? Or must more be done?
Also, CMS proposes to exempt Medicare Advantage plans. Do you
think CMS will come around and include them in the final rule?
Thanks, Roy Edroso Part B News https://pbn.decisionhealth.com/

Query:
A new HHS/OCR proposed rule appears to be leaning into a more
forgiving interpretation of the HIPAA Privacy Rule -- for
example, expanding providers' right to pass on PHI to other
providers and even to not-provider, non-BA entities such as
community service orgs.
What HIPAA issues that providers might currently worry about
would be obviated if this rule were finalized?
For example, if this is finalized, can providers just send the
whole jacket when specific information is requested without
worrying about a "minimum necessary" issue?
Is there anything else in the rule that providers should be
aware of (and comment on)?

A new batch of search engine start-ups positioning themselves
as potential rivals to Google is hoping that growing regulatory
pressure will finally reverse two decades of the search giant's
dominance.
The latest challengers include Neeva, launched by two former
Google executives, and You.com, founded by Salesforce.com's
former chief scientist, as well as Mojeek, a UK-based start-up
with growing ambitions to build its own index of billions of web
pages.
Though their odds of success are long, each sees a different
opportunity for a new approach to Google's familiar list of
links and results, which has evolved only incrementally in
recent years.
They also hope that a string of recent US antitrust cases
against Google at both the state and federal levels may result
in an opening up of the field.
Google's share of the global search market has held at more than
90 per cent for most of the past decade. Today, it remains close
to its all-time highs of more than 92 per cent, according to
Statcounter, which tracks web activity, followed by Bing on 2.9
per cent and Yahoo at 1.5 per cent.

Ideal sources include experienced philatelists/stamp collectors

and discuss more general recommendations/tendencies.
- How/when did you first become interested in stamp collecting?
- What do you wish you knew when you first started? - What
niche/subject matter did you initially enjoy collecting? - How
has your collection evolved over the years? Was it influenced
by personal preferences or rarity? - Have you ever sold a stamp?
- What would you recommend to newcomers who are interested in
collecting for monetary gain?

on:
1) How to use cardboard or newspaper as weed blocker. When do I
put it down? How long does it last? How does it work? What are
the advantages to using it over weed blocker fabric?
2) Is it true that the ideal way to water a lawn is to water for
longer but on on fewer days? Does this promote healthier root
systems and make grass more drought resistant? How long should I
water for and how many days per week? What other watering tricks
do you recommend?
3) Does vinegar work to kill weeds? If so, how much do I dilute
it and when should I spray the weeds--morning? Night? How long
does it last and/or when would I need to re-spray if it rains?
4) What are some natural, easy ways to fertilize a lawn and/or
aerate the soil?
5) Are there any tricks I can do in early spring to help keep
pests and harmful bugs out of my garden before they even settle
in? Maybe something I can spray my plants with or sprinkle on
the soil around them?
6) What are some things I can do/add to my garden in early
spring to attract beneficial insects and wildlife? Not just
which plants to add, per se, but a way I can make the plants or
garden I already have more inviting?
7) What is a good all-around DIY fertilizer I can add to my

WARRIOR LIFE HACKS (Due out Fall 2021)
The essential self-help guide to living a healthy, fulfilled and
better life -- the warrior way.
Battles are fought everywhere, not just out in the world, but
within us. No one better understands this dichotomy than
servicemen and women and veterans who must try to integrate back
to their normal lives. Coping skills are a real issue for both
active duty and retired military. While support groups and other
healthcare organizations exist, for various reasons many are
still forced to find their own way back. Warrior Life Hacks is a
collection of easy strategies, practical tips, and self-care
ideas for military men and women. Written by a former Marine and
a former U.S. Navy Sailor, this book will help everyone who
needs a leg up in not just getting through, but thriving.
Requirements:
Looking for current military and Veterans to share their
personal self-care and coping strategies for better health and
wellness.

Query:
Story: short, easy, at-home "health checks" guys can do on their
own
I know that erectile hardness can be an indicator of
cardiovascular health and I'm wondering if there's any simple
at-home test that a urologist could suggest guys do to "measure"
their own hardness, if you will? I know it can vary day to day
and by guy to guy but I'm just looking for something easy/quick
a guy could do to get an idea. Something like... When you wake
up hard, do XYZ - it works because XYZ.
For example (making this up) but is there a way to shorten the
SHIM?
https://www.pcf.org/c/the-sexual-health-inventory-for-men-shim-questionnaire/
Or one question you could hone in on just when it comes to
hardness?
I know so vital is morning wood that urologists once diagnosed
erectile problems by asking men to put a roll of stamps over
their flaccid penises before they went to bed. If the roll was
broken in the morning, it meant the man in question was getting
erections overnight, and thus had a healthy penis. Urologists no
longer use the stamp test, but the presence of nighttime
erections remains an important indicator of how your body is
functioning, particularly downstairs.
I'm looking for something easy/up-to-date like that... Is there
anything he recommends his patients do to "measure" hardness?
Requirements:
Seeking comment from urologists only - must be MD/DO
