Overcoming the Complexities: Navigating the Challenges in Behavioral Health Billing

As the demand for mental health and substance abuse treatment services continues to rise, so does the need for efficient behavioral health billing services. Managing the intricacies of medical billing and coding for behavioral health requires specialized knowledge, from navigating complex regulations to understanding insurance policies and coverage limits. The delicate nature of mental health care and the constantly evolving healthcare landscape make the billing process challenging. Ensuring accuracy in claims submission and maximizing reimbursement through claims management services are crucial steps in maintaining a healthy revenue cycle management system for providers. Let’s explore the common challenges faced in behavioral health billing and strategies to overcome them.

 Complex Medical Billing and Coding Requirements

One of the greatest challenges in behavioral health billing services is mastering the intricacies of medical billing and coding specific to mental health services. Unlike general medical billing, behavioral health codes must account for different treatment approaches, therapy sessions, group counseling, substance abuse treatments, and medication management. Each of these services requires the application of accurate CPT and ICD-10 codes to ensure proper billing.

Errors in coding can lead to claim rejections or underpayment, slowing down the provider’s cash flow. The complexity is further compounded by frequent changes in coding guidelines and payer-specific rules, creating the need for continual updates and staff training. Providers must maintain thorough documentation to support each service billed, ensuring that the codes assigned reflect the specific treatments delivered.

 Frequent Claim Denials and Rejections

Mental health billing tends to face a higher rate of claim denials compared to other specialties. This is often due to the nuanced nature of behavioral health services, which can be subject to varying interpretations by insurance companies. Many insurance plans impose limits on the number of therapy sessions, types of treatments, or length of care, which can result in claim denials if not managed properly.

In such cases, denial management services play a critical role. Providers must implement robust systems for tracking claims and responding promptly to denials. Understanding the reasons for denials—whether it's due to incorrect coding, missing documentation, or authorization issues—is the first step toward correcting and resubmitting claims. A well-organized claims management services process can drastically reduce the rate of denied claims and improve overall reimbursement.

 Navigating Insurance and Authorization Requirements

Insurance companies often impose strict requirements for behavioral health services, including prior authorizations and stringent medical necessity criteria. Verifying a patient’s insurance benefits and securing prior authorization before treatment begins is vital. However, this process can be time-consuming and complex, requiring constant communication with insurance providers.

Missteps in securing authorization or failing to meet insurance company criteria can lead to non-payment for services rendered. Providers must ensure that their revenue cycle management process includes a solid verification and authorization system to avoid unnecessary delays in payment. A dedicated team or service for handling prior authorizations can streamline this process, ensuring services are approved before they are delivered.

 Balancing Regulatory Compliance and Patient Privacy

Compliance is another significant hurdle in behavioral health billing. Providers must adhere to strict privacy regulations, such as HIPAA, while also ensuring their billing practices comply with federal and state laws, including the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA). This act mandates that mental health and substance abuse treatments be covered at the same level as physical health services, but navigating its application in different insurance plans can be challenging.

Moreover, maintaining compliance with government programs such as Medicaid and Medicare introduces additional layers of complexity. Providers participating in these programs must follow specific coding and billing guidelines, often requiring additional documentation. Failure to comply can result in audits, fines, or loss of program participation, making it crucial for providers to stay up-to-date on regulatory changes.

 The Importance of Streamlined Revenue Cycle Management

Effective revenue cycle management is the backbone of any successful behavioral health practice. Managing the entire billing cycle—from patient intake and insurance verification to claims submission, payment posting, and denial resolution—requires a streamlined process to prevent cash flow disruptions. Behavioral health billing services must ensure that every step of the billing process is optimized for efficiency and accuracy.

Outsourcing these tasks to a professional billing service can alleviate many of the challenges mentioned above. A specialized billing partner can offer dedicated claims management services and denial management services, ensuring that claims are submitted accurately and promptly, denials are swiftly addressed, and reimbursement is maximized. This allows providers to focus on delivering high-quality care to their patients rather than spending time navigating the billing process.

Conclusion

In the ever-evolving field of behavioral health, the billing process presents unique and complex challenges. From mastering the nuances of medical billing and coding to managing frequent claim denials and staying compliant with regulatory requirements, providers face a host of obstacles that can affect their financial health. However, with the right strategies—such as investing in professional behavioral health billing services, utilizing denial management services, and maintaining efficient revenue cycle management—behavioral health providers can overcome these challenges, ensuring their practice remains financially healthy while delivering essential care to their patients.

By implementing these solutions, providers not only reduce the administrative burden but also improve their bottom line, allowing for more time and resources to be devoted to what truly matters: patient care.

Hello Nicholas!

I hope this isn't a weird question, but I saw in one of your posts that you used to be in a huge amount of debt and now you're living more comfortably- how did you manage to get out of debt? I feel like every time I start even trying to figure out where to start, it's just all too big to ever get out from under. Do you have any advice for me?

Hope you have a great day!

Hey there! Yes, from about 2007-2010 (before I transitioned), I was making less than $10k/year. I defaulted on all my credit cards, exhausted my retirement, and nearly lost my house. It sucked, and in 2024, I'm finally start to feel somewhat secure. What I learned (assuming living in the US, I also did not have student loan debt):

I had to first figure out the sources of my debt. A big chunk of it was because of bad spending habits due to mental illness (hoarding + retail therapy when I was dysphoric/depressed). Another chunk was from being in an abusive friendship. Another, from being unemployed. And the last, was general capitalism (this was during the housing crisis.)

I started working on improving myself to curb behaviors that led to debt. I started working on my hoarding. I started transition to improve my mental health (had to sell some stuff to afford HRT). It took until 2015 to ditch my abuser, alas.

I started working on new job skills. I swallowed my pride and got an office job after a failed 3-year stint at freelancing. It was shitty, but enough to take care of my income emergencies -- keeping my house out of foreclosure. I got a better job 8 months later. It also sucked and I was in it for 7 years, but eventually changed industries and that's when my career took off. Because with each new job, I've gotten better and better pay.

I started using budgeting software. YNAB is my favorite. I try to account for every single dollar I have.

I started spending smarter. Food was the expense I had the most control over. I went to the salvage grocery store (you can find non-expired stuff if you hunt) and bought the "ugly" produce 1 day away from rotting from the local markets. I actually managed to eat well once I found these grocery stores, and my food bill became a fraction of what it'd been at typical grocery stores. I do wish that I had given food pantries a shot, but I was in denial about my poverty at the time.

I sold a ton of useless crap. I got rid of a good chunk of my nerd "collectibles". I only miss a few things over a decade later.

I negotiated with my debt collectors. I managed to set up payment plans with my credit card companies, condo association, and the IRS. I also did a debt consolidation loan once I qualified and was sure I could commit to the monthly payments. It forced me to be super strict about my budget and for about 5 years I didn't buy much for myself. It sucked, but I cleared a bunch of debt that way.

I got help from my family. I was embarrassed to tell my family about my predicament, but it became impossible to hide. I got help cleaning out my hoard and my mother has gracefully given me generous cash gifts every now and then. Never enough to be life-changing, but enough to give me a mental breather.

I played the credit score game. This one seems counter-intuitive, and requires some self-control about not abusing credit cards. Many people recommend the "snowball" method for paying off cards (pay off your lowest debt asap, then go to the next one), but I went with a "credit utilization" method (bring my highest used cards down to the next utilization level, then move to other cards) so I would see immediate changes in my credit score. What is credit card utilization? It's the percentage of how much of your credit card you're using. A card with a $1,000 limit and $100 on it = 10% utilization. Your credit score changes when you cross the following thresholds: 90%, 70%, 50%, 30%, 10%. Once my credit score started going up past 400 (especially as defaults started falling away), I applied for a secured card. As I started using that better, I applied for a few more cards, then for credit line increases every 6 months. My car insurance rates were tied to my credit score, so as soon as that improved, I switched companies and saved money there.

Mistakes I made:

Being in denial that I was poor. I didn't really look for resources on how to live while in poverty. This hurt me a lot because I ended up neglecting myself out of pride, which made my situation even worse.

Payday loans. I got stuck in the payday cycle for about 8 years. I wish I had sold more stuff or asked family for money to have never needed that initial loan. Once you are in the cycle, it becomes very difficult to get out.

Not going to a food bank.

Not asking for help sooner. And not just financial help.

Not getting out of abusive situations sooner. This is hard, and I sympathize with anyone in a similar position. But if you think it's time to move on, trust your gut - don't sacrifice yourself for people who don't care about you.

Ignoring debt collectors, because I was too afraid to negotiate for a plan. The IRS was so patient with me in the end, even after defaulting twice on plans.

Not considering getting a roommate to reduce costs, or not thinking of doing more things like shared meals with my fellow poor friends. Again, denial and pride. Humility is not a bad word and I wished I had learned it sooner.

Not changing jobs sooner. Curbing my hoarding and getting a better job are responsible for about 90% of me being where I am financially today.

Getting out of debt is a marathon. It took over a decade for me, and I am *still* feeling the sting of poverty. I wish you the best of luck. Folks are welcome to tack on specific tricks and strategies -- this is just a general outline of my particular journey.

Matt Shuham at HuffPost:

Tina Peters, the Republican former county clerk and right-wing folk hero, was found guilty Monday on four of seven felony counts against her, and guilty of all three misdemeanor counts. The charges related to one of the most significant election security breaches in recent years. Peters, who declined to testify at trial, is the former clerk and recorder of Mesa County, Colorado, which is home to Grand Junction and around 150,000 people. She became a cause célèbre for the nationwide election denial movement after she was indicted in relation to the security breach ― maintaining that the breach occurred while she was trying to investigate Dominion voting machines, and that her actions were legal.

The jury reached the verdict after about four hours of deliberation Monday. Peters was not taken into custody at the courthouse but rather instructed to report to a probation officer by noon Tuesday. She’ll face a sentencing hearing on Oct. 3. Based on the verdict, Peters could face anywhere from 7¾ to 22½ years in prison, according to Marshall Zelinger, a reporter at KUSA-TV in Denver. “Tina Peters willfully compromised her own election equipment trying to prove Trump’s Big Lie,” Jena Griswold, Colorado’s Democratic secretary of state, said in a statement reacting to the verdict. “She has been found guilty of 4 felonies and 3 misdemeanors by a jury of her peers and will now face the consequences of her actions. Today’s verdict sends a clear message: we will not tolerate any effort to threaten the security of our gold standard elections. I am proud that justice for Colorado voters has been served today.”

After the 2020 election, Peters secretly brought a computer analyst aligned with the election denial movement into a protected software update meeting for Dominion election machines in her county, wary of state officials erasing election information. The analyst attended the update under a disguise, using the name and access badge of a local Mesa County resident. Digital images from the software update soon leaked online ― published by Ron Watkins, a key QAnon figure ― and state officials quickly descended upon the Mesa County elections office to investigate. Peters was indicted in 2022, and pleaded not guilty ahead of trial to three counts of attempting to influence a public servant, two counts of conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation, and one count each of criminal impersonation, identity theft, first-degree official misconduct, violation of duty, and failing to comply with the secretary of state. The first seven counts were felonies, the last three were misdemeanors. Peters was found guilty Monday of all felony counts except one of the counts of conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation, criminal impersonation, and identity theft. She was found guilty of the three counts of attempting to influence a public servant and one of the counts of conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation.

[...]

A National Network

Though elections in the United States are largely run on the local level, Peters’ trial showed the truly national scope of the election conspiracy theory movement, which Donald Trump supercharged four years ago when he denied the facts of his own 2020 reelection loss ― ultimately leading to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on Congress, an attempt by Trump supporters to overturn Joe Biden’s win. For one thing, Sherronna Bishop, an ally of Peters’ and a key witness in the trial, is Rep. Lauren Boebert’s (R-Co.) former campaign manager. Bishop, a right-wing activist, introduced Peters to the national election conspiracy theory community ― among them Douglas Frank, a election conspiracy theorist who has toured the country claiming to have discovered mathematical proof of election rigging. In reality, as The Washington Post reported, Frank’s pitch involves “a bit of impressive-sounding chicanery that is light-years away from any proof of fraud.” It was Bishop who testified that Wood, the supposed victim of identity theft, had actually consented to the use of his Mesa County badge as part of the scheme ― a claim Wood and the prosecution denied.

Jurors in the Peters case heard a secretly-recorded meeting between Frank and Peters ― taped by a concerned member of Peters’ office ― in which Frank encouraged the then-county clerk to root out “phantom” ballots and acknowledged he was being paid by Mike Lindell, the CEO of MyPillow and a major funder of the election denial movement. The same concerned staff member, Stephanie Wenholz, Mesa County’s front-end elections manager, said Peters had mandated that staff attend a presentation by Frank, hosted by Bishop, at a Grand Junction hotel. Wenholz said the mood at the event was “kind of like a revival” and said she felt her safety was in jeopardy at the event. Lindell himself loomed large over the trial: The Mesa County story became national news as Peters spoke at a Lindell event, deemed the “Cyber Symposium,” in South Dakota. She reportedly traveled there via Lindell’s private jet. In 2022, Lindell claimed to have donated $800,000 to Peters’ defense fund. Lindell’s cell phone was seized by the FBI in 2022 (when he was in a Hardee’s drive-through) as part of a federal investigation of the Mesa County breach. Lindell sued, but the suit went nowhere, with the Supreme Court ultimately declining to hear an appeal.

Election-denying former Mesa County, Colorado County Clerk Tina Peters pleaded guilty in election machine breaches.

“Shhhh…!”

Toni Tywin clasped a black leather-gloved hand firmly over the mouth of the bemused and frightened Franklin, rudely awoken from his half-slumber in the warm liquid luxury of his jacuzzi. How this blonde with the extravagant ponytail, the black catsuit and the gleaming smile had managed to overcome his state of the art digital security, Franklin knew not. As the woman placed a finger to her lips to indicate his complete silence, what the software inventor who owed too much money to all sorts of wrong people, did know was that he was in serious trouble.

As for Toni, her performative handgagging was, she reflected, something of a habit now. After all, she didn’t care what her victim’s last words, pleas, cries or denials were…

A little about me!

Hi! I'm Sophie! I see you've found my blog, lol. I've had this blog for years, but I've never actually gotten around to telling you guys anything about myself, so I figured it's time to finally get around to that!

This is primarily an 18+ blog, so please don't follow me if you're underage!

My asks are open for any horny asks (and horny asks are very much welcome!), and my DMs are open if you want to get to know me better! Come say hi if you're interested, I don't bite... well, not too much, anyways ;)

Now, with all that said, here's a little about me!

I'm 20 years old, I live in America, and I cannot wait to get out of here as soon as I can manage it, lol.

I'm a Computer Science major, specifically I'm working towards being a software engineer, and I'm hoping to make music production software!

I've only just recently came out as trans about 2 months ago as of the time of writing this! It's been a long time coming, and it's been something I've grappled with for a while, but I've finally accepted it and it's awesome!

I haven't gotten to start transitioning yet, there's a lot of financial barriers I have to get over before I can do that, but I'm hoping I can soon! (Will update this whenever I make progress)

My sexuality is kinda a question mark? I've said I'm bisexual for ages, but between realizing I'm trans, and some recent experiences, I'm still figuring things out. We'll just say pansexual for now and leave it at that!

I'm a musician! I play guitar, piano, and I can sing! Music is my passion and has been since I was a kid, and I'd love to perform on stage someday!

I'm very sex-positive! I think people should be able to explore their sexualities in whatever way they want as long as they're safe and there's consent from all parties, and I'm not gonna have any patience for moralizing or bringing politics into kink unless it's something serious. Let's all just have fun and enjoy ourselves, okay?

Now, my one exception to the no-politics rule is a simple one: If you voted for Trump, get off my blog. You're not welcome here, and a lot of LGBTQ+ people are fixing to be hurt because of your choices.

I'm a HUGE nerd, lol. I love movies, anime, manga, TV shows, comic books, video games, basically any form of media.

My favorite band is Dream Theater, but I also love Paramore, Evanescence, Set It Off, Amaranthe, Nirvana, Linkin Park, and Panic! at the Disco! In case you can't tell, I've got a very strong vibe, lol. I'd love to share music with anyone who's interested!

I'm a DM for my local friend group! I have a ton of fun working on D&D stuff, and I may post about it on here from time to time if anything particularly exciting happens. If you've got any cool D&D ideas or stories you want to share, hit me up!

I love video games, but my favorites are Persona 3, Final Fantasy 7, the Trails series, Undertale, basically any Armored Core game, and Bloodborne! I will probably ramble about all of these games at some point on this blog, lol.

I am completely obsessed with the Nasuverse. Fate, Tsukihime, and Kara no Kyoukai are some of my favorite pieces of fiction ever and I am way too invested in the world, lol. I'm working my way through the Tsukihime Remake right now and I'm absolutely loving it, you should read it if you haven't!

That's a little bit about me! This blog has been primarily an NSFW blog up until now, but I'm gonna try to post more normal stuff on here too going forward, I think it'll be fun, and I hope you guys enjoy my posts!

Also, kink list under the cut for those interested!

Like: Hypnosis, intox, CNC, breeding, bondage, monsters, petplay, voice kink, bdsm, vampires, incest, edging, overstim, denial

Hate: scat, piss, vomit, diapers, necrophilia

Hi. I'm a software developer. I like thinking up clever algorithms, ways so solve problems and so on, and I'm not bothered by complexity. My weak side is implementation: I literally get hung up on bringing ideas to life in this world because of arithmetic and similar "low-level" stuff. When working in team, taking charge, managing people and solving problems with no known solution is easier than implementing what is known. How do I overcome this downside? My type is xNTJ.

I have discussed these learning issues before because this is a common problem for Ns, see the section on Learning & Study. When learning, the typical N relies heavily on intuition to get by, for example, through: being a good guesser; only remembering information long enough to pass and/or practicing just enough to pass; believing that grasping the "gist" is good enough; only attending to information as long as it keeps one's interest; only performing as well as is necessary to look good in comparison to others; etc. In essence, they don't realize that their way of learning is very superficial and leaves them lacking a strong foundation of knowledge.

Not until they are properly put to the test is it revealed that they: have many gaps in knowledge; have a poor grasp of basic details/skills; don't know the methods/procedures inside and out like they should; have no reliable way to structure information and retrieve it quickly; don't know how to apply ideas and concepts; often waste too much time reinventing the wheel; etc.

A smart person should heed these warning signs and work to correct the N-S imbalance by better integrating the S function into their learning process. When you mentioned "low-level stuff", did you say it with a tone of impatience or disdain (as many Ns would)? If so, it might be revealing a bias against S-related learning.

Unfortunately, in reality, many people also have ego development issues exacerbating their learning problems. For example, some Ns get arrogant because they receive praise or feel rewarded for their bad learning habits. With unearned confidence, they double down on their bad habits. Experiencing multiple failures might push them deeper into denial of their shortcomings. Denial might lead them to stick to situations where they can show off their strengths and avoid situations that would expose their weaknesses.

This behavior reveals that they don't really care about real mastery but only the appearance of it. In the workplace, as long as they can keep weaseling their way into a better position, they can keep telling themselves that they don't have a problem. Having curated a false self-image over many years of being "quick", "intelligent", "insightful", "creative", or being "above mundane tasks", etc, they fear what might happen if they were to take the mask off. I am not saying you have this problem. I only mention it as a common obstacle to be aware of.

If you want to be an effective learner, you have to get rid of your bad learning habits, whatever they are. To really know your stuff seems like the harder path to take (that's why many choose to fake it instead), but the pay off is huge when you're eventually able to handle and adapt to any situation with ease. Personal growth is its own reward. It's important to note that the best learners care about personal growth and understand that humility and curiosity are vital to learning. Humility is necessary for acknowledging the full extent of one's ignorance. Curiosity is necessary for doing what it takes to fill in those gaps. This means arrogance and stubbornness are two big no-nos.

It sounds like, for reasons you should reflect on, you've put the horse before the cart. Learning is a complicated process. It needs to follow a particular sequence in order to maximize intellectual growth. But many people are impatient and want to do higher order tasks without properly mastering lower order tasks first.

For instance, the problem of "application" can be broken down and understood like this:

You don't possess enough foundational knowledge because you didn't put enough effort into memorizing all the important details, ideas, concepts, principles, etc.

You don't have a deep understanding of the subject because you didn't "make it your own" by taking the necessary steps to organize information properly into a comprehensive and coherent structure.

You can't apply ideas well because you don't have detailed knowledge of methods and procedures and/or you haven't put in the many hours necessary to practice and learn from practical mistakes.

There are several possibilities. It's possible that only #3 is the problem. It's possible that #3 is a problem because of #2. It's possible that #3 is a problem because of #2 AND #1. Whatever the problem is, go back and fix it.

Are you facing security challenges in Online Survey?

Online surveys can face several security challenges, including:

Data Privacy: Ensuring the confidentiality of respondents' data is crucial. Unauthorized access to personal information collected in surveys can lead to privacy breaches.

Data Integrity: Maintaining the accuracy and consistency of survey data is essential. Malicious actors might attempt to manipulate or corrupt data, impacting the reliability of survey results.

Survey Fraud: Individuals may attempt to manipulate survey results by providing false information or submitting multiple responses (known as ballot stuffing), compromising the survey's integrity.

Phishing Attacks: Fraudulent emails or survey links may be used to trick respondents into providing sensitive information or downloading malware.

DDoS Attacks: Distributed Denial-of-Service attacks can disrupt survey platforms by overwhelming servers with excessive traffic, causing downtime and hindering survey completion.

To address these challenges, survey administrators often implement various security measures:

Encryption: Utilizing encryption techniques to protect data transmission and storage.

Authentication: Requiring user authentication to prevent unauthorized access to surveys and data.

Firewalls and Anti-Malware: Employing security software and firewalls to mitigate the risk of cyber threats.

Captchas and IP Blocking: Implementing measures to prevent automated responses and restrict multiple submissions from the same IP address.

Anonymity and Confidentiality: Ensuring respondents' anonymity and safeguarding their sensitive information.

Regular Security Audits: Conducting periodic security audits to identify vulnerabilities and enhance overall security.

While these measures can mitigate risks, no system is entirely immune to security threats. Survey administrators must stay vigilant, update security protocols regularly, and adhere to best practices to protect the integrity and privacy of survey data.

Family Registries (Final Effect)

Many families, especially the Heroic Houses, maintain Family Registries. These registries record every single birth, death, and marriage associated with the family. Any child born to the family is recorded, and their parentage noted. Traditionally, their significant deeds and accomplishments.

One of the reasons that such registries are maintained is because Semblances and other Aura characteristics are at least partially hereditary although they often change slightly from one generation to the next. It is therefore possible to predict someone’s possible Aura characteristics and Semblance based on their heritage. This can be vitally important when it comes to powerful Semblances or those that have unique properties (e.g., Creation of All Things).

Lineage is also vitally important for inheritance purposes. The Heroic Houses have substantial holdings, so knowing who inherits what is critical. The Heroic Houses also have funds and other sources of income that are used to help their members with things like education and so forth. Again, being able to prove that someone is from that family is key to them gaining access to those resources.

Family Registries are also a matter of pride and historical importance. The people of Remnant place great stock in the achievements of their ancestors and take great pride in the deeds their predecessors have accomplished. Many people enjoy being able to prove that they are descended from someone who has done great things, and there is a strong desire to see their own deeds acknowledged on such registries.

At present, the House of Farron-Arendelle maintains the most complete Family Registry. It is managed by the Dia-Farron who have painstakingly kept track of all members of the House’s various branches (basically the Lightning, Serah, and Lumina branches since all members of the House can trace their descent to one of the three sisters). They also maintain Family Registries for certain other families and their beloved hamsters.

One of the greatest punishments that can be levied against someone from a Heroic House is to be stricken from their Family Registry. This is a denial and rebuke of their evil deeds and also of their very existence. Such a person is to be reviled for all time, their very name a curse and an insult. On the flip side are those who are adopted and added to the Family Registry. This is a show of love and affection, a statement not only to the present but also all those who will come in the future that a certain person is a member of the family, regardless of their bloodline or lineage. Adopting someone into the Family Registry is usually a reason to celebrate, for another has been found who belong with the family.

This is why people like Coal can become centres of controversy. He is a direct descendant of a member of the House of Sato. He should be on their registry. That he was not speaks poorly of the House since either they did not have systems in place to record his birth or his parents chose to conceal it (which would be far worse). That Galatea offers to formally adopt him comes with the offer of adding him to the Family Registry of the House of Farron-Arendelle, specifically, the Dia-Farron Branch of the House.

That was a big deal because it involved a dispute between two Heroic Houses that can trace their roots back to the Age of Heroes.

For smaller and less famous families, the Dia-Farron have made software available that makes creating a Family Registry relatively easy although the contents of the registry must be verified by independent observers to ensure its accuracy. It is customary that orphans whose ancestry cannot be traced are given this software for free along with a blessing that basically goes along the lines of “Start your own family, and made your deeds and theirs be worthy of remembrance in this registry”.
