Summary
The meeting featured Frank Lobb, a former Navy pilot, discussing healthcare insurance contracts and their impact on medical care. Lobb shared his personal experience of losing his wife after being denied healthcare coverage, despite offering to pay out of pocket. He explained how his investigation through legal proceedings revealed that healthcare insurance contracts are secret, state-approved documents that effectively allow insurance companies to ration healthcare. Lobb discovered that these contracts, standardized around 1990, contain provisions that prevent patients from paying for care when insurance denies coverage. He emphasized how the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's recent involvement has shifted the burden of proof for billing accuracy to healthcare providers. The discussion highlighted how the current system disadvantages both patients and healthcare providers, with Lobb suggesting that medical organizations like the AMA should push for contract reform.

I was warned not to talk about this. And another friend told me that not talking was the problem.
In the last 4 years I have learned a lot about dealing with difficult situations and our thoughts.
I hope that my opinions will help you understand yourself and your neighbor, because just like power corrupts, powerlessness is a dangerous and destructive force.
The decision from votes does not have to be a dark day, this could be a day where circumstances have led to a call to action. We have free will in our mind, that is where our power is, and we can choose where to direct it. Emotions are the fuel that move in the direction you choose.
So pick a direction, and fuel it with the emotion you choose.

Summary
The article is an interview with Dr. Laura Sutton, a family practice physician and author of the book 'The Purposeful M.D.: Creating the Life You Love Without Guilt'.

The book aims to guide readers through a transformative journey, enabling them to create intentional and fulfilling lives while strengthening relationships and improving overall well-being.

Dr. Sutton's Motivation for Writing the Book
Initially, Dr. Sutton doubted her ability to write a book, considering herself a physician rather than a writer.

This realization, coupled with encouragement from others, motivated her to embark on the journey of writing 'The Purposeful M.D.'.
Time Management Challenges for Physicians
Physicians face significant challenges in managing their time effectively. Dr. Sutton explains that during their training, physicians are conditioned to say 'yes' to every request, fearing negative consequences like failing a rotation or losing opportunities. This ingrained habit of prioritizing others' needs over their own makes it difficult for physicians to set boundaries and say 'no' later in their careers, leading to overwhelming demands and a lack of time for personal pursuits.
Strategies for Finding More Time and Energy
The book offers strategies to help readers find more time and energy in their lives. Dr. Sutton emphasizes the importance of setting specific and realistic goals, reframing expectations, and being honest with oneself about what is achievable. She encourages readers to journal and take action on the concepts learned, as well as to seek support from others. Additionally, Dr. Sutton highlights the benefits of automating tasks and making things easier for oneself, rather than adhering to ideals that may not align with one's current circumstances.

After reading the book, readers can expect to experience freedom of time, with their time being spent intentionally across various aspects of their lives. They will have increased energy, as the book helps alleviate the mental burden of overwhelming demands and unrealistic expectations.

Chapters
Introduction and Background
Dr. Heather Signorelli, a pathologist and founder of Nat Rev MD, is introduced as an expert in helping private practices understand business principles. The discussion focuses on her new book 'Thrive' and the top three things private practices should be doing to optimize and improve revenue.
Importance of Eligibility Verification
Eligibility verification is identified as the top issue impacting revenue for many practices. Ensuring patient insurance eligibility is verified upfront, including capturing accurate information and following up on any failures, is crucial to prevent denials and revenue loss. Dr. Signorelli emphasizes the need for a robust eligibility process and communication between the front office and billing team.
Monitoring Billing Metrics
Tracking key billing metrics like denials and accounts receivable aging is essential for identifying areas for improvement and prioritizing focus areas. Dr. Signorelli recommends starting with these two metrics and gradually adding more over time. Monitoring metrics provides visibility into the effectiveness of the billing process and helps practices target specific issues.
Managing Accounts Receivable
Staying on top of outstanding payments owed to the practice, known as accounts receivable, is critical. Older claims become increasingly difficult to collect, so addressing them promptly is important to avoid timely filing issues and revenue leakage. Dr. Signorelli recommends monitoring accounts receivable aging reports and working closely with the billing team to resolve any issues.
Importance of Communication and Workflows
Effective communication between the practice and billing team, as well as robust workflows and audits, are emphasized as essential for a successful billing process. Dr. Signorelli stresses the need for a high-level view of the billing process, identifying operational issues, and implementing improvements. Clear processes and regular audits help ensure no claims or revenue are missed.
Resources and Services Offered by Nat Rev MD
