Huh. Apparently my, “I am at work,” vibes are so strong that I didn’t even register my Aunt was the one calling to schedule a patient for her practice. This is extra hilarious because she hadn’t quite made the connection between me and my new name until my mom put me on speaker.

“WAIT THAT WAS YOU??? EBONY WE SPOKE THE OTHER DAY!”

The fuck we did, Auntie, that was my worksona! 🤣

The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Automated Compliance

The healthcare sector has always been highly regulated, and as more data is produced and stored, the requirement for compliance has only increased. Traditional approaches to compliance have involved a labor-intensive, manual procedure, but technological advancements have created new opportunities for healthcare compliance automation.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most promising technologies for hitrust compliance. AI can assist businesses with risk identification and management, anomaly detection, and repetitive process automation, resulting in faster, more accurate, and more effective compliance.

Here are some examples of how AI is changing compliance:

Risk assessment: AI can assist businesses in locating possible hazards and setting priorities for compliance initiatives. AI can find patterns and trends that point to potential compliance concerns by evaluating data from a variety of sources, including electronic health records, claims data, and other sources. Resource allocation and compliance initiatives can then be prioritized using this information.

Anomaly Detection: AI can assist businesses in identifying anomalies and flagging them for additional research. This can assist firms in identifying possible compliance issues before they develop into larger issues.

Automated Monitoring: AI can assist businesses in automating the search for regulatory infractions. AI may watch for patterns of behavior that point to potential infractions using machine learning algorithms, and then inform compliance personnel to look into the matter further.

Predictive Analytics: AI can assist firms in foreseeing compliance risks. AI is able to find patterns and trends in data from various sources that point to possible compliance problems. Future compliance concerns can therefore be foreseen using this information, and preventative measures can be taken.

In conclusion, AI has the potential to transform compliance in the healthcare sector. Organizations may streamline compliance efforts, lower costs, and enhance patient outcomes by hipaa compliance automation procedures and utilizing machine learning. The importance of AI in compliance will only grow as healthcare continues to produce more data.

Hey! Long time follower since DeviantArt days! I saw your post about your health, just after I reblogged a helpful post that I'm gonna have to do with my own health insurance for reproductive issues. Thought to share this with you, just in case.

Medical Hack: So, your doctor ordered a test or treatment and your insurance company denied it. That is a typical cost saving method. Okay, here is what you do:

Call the insurance company and tell them you want to speak with the “HIPPA Compliance/Privacy Officer” (By federal law, they have to have one)

Then ask them for Names as well as Credentials of every person Accessing Your Record to make that decision of denial. By law you have a Right to that informantion.

They will almost always Reverse the Decision very shortly rather than admit that the committee is made of low paid H.S. Graduates, looking at all “criteria words,” making the decision to deny your care. Even in the rare case it is made by medical personel, it is unlikely that it is made by a board cerified doctor in that specialty and they Do Not Want You to Know This!

Any refusal should be reported to the U.S. Office of Civil Rights (OCR.gov) as a HIPPA violation.

Oooh thanks. Will post your response so other ppl can know.

Hi! I saw your insurance call and am in awe! Also looking for advice, but if you don't have the spoons feel free to ignore! I recently got my fallopian tubes removed and since my insurance is ACA-compliant they have to cover it 100% but they don't want to. I've called multiple times, sent a written complaint I'm waiting to hear back from, but do you have any advice on how to deal with it?

As a former insurance lackey, yes I might be able to place some stones here! Disclaimer as always, this isn't legal or medical advice since I'm not your rep, blah blah. Okay!

So, few things. There are definitely differences between "don't want to cover" and "refuse to cover." Now, since you mentioned they are ACA-compliant, then they are most likely refusing to cover and it COULD be for a variety of reasons.

1) They determined the procedue was not medically necessary.

2) Your doctor/hospital/someone in billing somewhere coded the procedure wrong on the claim, thus allowing the "must cover" to "doesn't need to cover."

3) Someone failed a step in the approval and/or pre-approval process which allowed insurance to deny out of hand.

4) Whoever processed the claim done fucked up and rejected it due to human error.

Now, in 3 out of 4 scenarios, the solution is the same. Filing a compliant does sweet fuck-all. Filing an APPEAL forces them to respond, usually by reevaluating or at least resubmitting the claim internally.

HOWEVER, if the procedure was coded wrong (which doctors and admins at hospitals do all the ding dong day), then you need to speak to the billing and coding to get the hospital or doctor to resubmit the claim wirh the proper codes that will trigger acceptance of the claim for ACA-compliance.

If the claim was rejected out of clinician review at the insurance company as being medically unnecessary or "elective" NOW you need to call the doctor who ordered the procedure, and have them call your insurance for a peer to peer review of the case. That can overturn the rejection because WOW doctors don't like being told by someone who hasn't even looked at your charts, that they're wrong. And they'll fight about it.

And if a paperwork error like improper coding, not getting the necessary pre-approvals, etc. is the issue, then you can absolutely contact your providers and get that fixed and get copies of all pre-approvals plus your records of the medical necessity to file a formal appeal with your insurance if they're gonna be particularly stubborn.

I know this sounds like a lot and a pain in the ass (it is) but an appeal form can usually be found on your insurer's website (if they're a bigger one. Smaller ones you might have to call or email for the form) and are straightforward. But doing that part, even if you don't have all the backing evidence you need yet, is IMPERATIVE to do within whatever timeframe your insurer allows for appeals. There is ALWAYS a time limit, and filing in a timely manner also hits the pause button on them trying to collect payment until a decision is rendered. Ideally. Not saying some insurers aren't super shitty about harassing you for payment regardless. But they SHOULDN'T with an active appeal.

Since I don't know specifically what happened with your claim (and please don't tell me if you do know, as I am a stranger on the internet and you should protect your PPI and HIPPA info as much as possible), I can't really point you in a solid direction, but a good first step is seeing how the procedure was coded and if a coding error is the issue first. That's easiest to fix if your care team doesn't suck at paperwork because they will get everything redone and resubmitted for you.

I hope this helps and isn't super confusing and that you recover well and stay as healthy as possible!

I would never sue Dr. House. As soon as he cureded me i would say "thank you for your service good sir and defeating the devilish shackles of HIPPA compliance may I suck your epic cock" and then Wilson hits me

Hey y'all, it's been a couple years since I posted this. I see that it's circulating again. I'm glad for that, because Betterhelp's still trash and still out there.

They're being saddled with some fines and such for lying about their HIPPA compliance and selling data to Meta, but they're still operating. I do want to note that over the years since I posted this I've gotten several anonymous angry messages (like including slurs against disabled people and mentally ill people) about this post in particular. I reported both, one a month or so after I posted this and the other was last autumn. This stood out to me because I very rarely get anon hate, even when I post something extremely controversial. It's just weird and I don't know why someone would be so passionately disturbed by a complaint about online therapy to write something like that. It's just odd, that's all I'm saying.

It is a mystery...

I’m loathe to link to the Daily Dot, but this article (and the TikTok content) gives a good overview of why BetterHelp is a hot mess in so many ways.

I used the service for a while myself, and during that, saw three different “therapists.” The first therapist seemed to think that therapy meant just having a chat an allowing me to vent, which was largely unhelpful.

She was a Christian, but kept bringing that up, which also irked me because I’d rather not have religion part of my therapy goals. She wasn’t overly pushy, but it did bother me when she said, “As a therapist I have to say that this witchcraft stuff is your choice, but as a Christian I don’t approve.”

I cancelled and requested a new person after that.The second therapist seemed alright at first, but would regularly go on tangents about politics and her own life. I cancelled and requested a new therapist after a disturbing incident where she did the entire session (on cam, as usual) while loudly and angrily doing dishes in her kitchen.

In both of those cases, it felt like these people thought “therapist” means “online friend” or something, and never seemed to have real treatment plans or much to offer.

The third therapist I saw via BetterHelp was just for a single session. Despite consistently telling them, “I would prefer a non-religious therapist,” I was matched with someone who incessantly quoted the Bible. She kept repeatedly asking me if I was a “Bible believer” or had “accepted Jesus.” She also praised me to not standing up for myself, weirdly. She said it was best to let my husband take the lead because submission is a good quality or something like that.

It was ridiculous, and at that point I requested a full refund for that month. Around that time, I learned that BetterHelp doesn’t actually vet their “therapists.” In fact, scrolling their list of offerings, I came across “therapists” with such dubious credentials as graduating from Liberty University with a degree in “marriage” and specializing in “maladaptive sexual behaviors.”

I had to call their offices to get the refund. I’ll be honest; I wasn’t exactly polite during that call, and essentially said, “What you are doing is sick - some people do actually need help, y’know. You’ve wasted my time and money.”

If you want online therapy, I recommend looking for therapists who are semi-local and offer online sessions. Many do these days, and it’s much better than rolling the dice with BetterHelp. That and, y’know, they won’t sell your data.

Navigating Compliance: The Essential Steps in Selecting an Effective Segregation of Duties Solution to meet audit needs - ToggleNow

Maintaining segregation of duties (SoD) within an organization is not just a best practice; it is a mandatory requirement for robust internal controls and compliance with various regulations. SoD plays a crucial role in preventing fraud, ensuring accountability, and safeguarding the integrity of financial and operational processes. Regulations such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Payment Card Industry Data Security (PCI DSS) Standard, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA), General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Basel II and III, and International Standards for Assurance Engagements mandate the implementation of SoD to protect stakeholders, customer data, and ensure regulatory compliance.

However, choosing the right SoD solution can be a challenging task. With numerous options available, organizations must navigate through various considerations to select an effective SoD solution that aligns with their specific compliance needs. In this blog post, we will walk you through the essential steps to help you navigate compliance and make an informed decision when selecting an SoD solution.

Here are the 8 steps that you should consider while selecting a Segregation of Duties solutions to meet various compliance requirements. Step 1: Assess Your Compliance Requirements

The first crucial step is to assess your organization’s compliance requirements. For example, in the United States, publicly traded companies must comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), which requires the implementation of strong internal controls, including segregation of duties. Other compliance mandates, such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), may also apply depending on your industry and geographical location. Understanding these requirements will help you identify the specific segregation of duties guidelines you need to follow.

Step 2: Identify Key Risks and Control Objectives

Next, identify the key risks associated with your business processes. For example, in the finance department, a key risk could be the possibility of an employee initiating and approving financial transactions without adequate oversight. Determine the control objectives that need to be addressed through effective segregation of duties, such as preventing unauthorized access, ensuring data integrity, and minimizing the risk of conflicts of interest. This step will enable you to prioritize your requirements and focus on the critical areas that require the strongest controls.

Note: While many Segregation of Duties solutions provide ready-to-use rulebooks with standard conflicts, it is important to consider the level of flexibility offered for customizations. Each organization may have unique requirements and specific conflicts that need to be addressed. Therefore, it is crucial to validate the extent to which the SoD solution allows for customization to accommodate your organization’s specific needs.

Step 3: Evaluate Your Existing Processes and Systems

Evaluate your current processes and systems to identify any existing gaps or limitations in segregation of duties. For example, not all the SoD solutions support IS-Utilities Rulesets. Engage your internal/external audit firm to assess the effectiveness of the solution and validate the effectiveness of the solution with your existing process. Further, understand how roles, responsibilities, and access permissions are currently managed within your organization. This evaluation will provide insights into the specific areas where an SoD solution can bring significant value.

Step 4: Research and Shortlist SoD Solutions

Now that you have a clear understanding of your compliance requirements and existing gaps, it’s time to research and shortlist potential SoD solutions. Look for solutions that offer robust features such as role-based access control, mitigation control implementation, monitoring and reporting capabilities, integration with your existing systems, customizations, costs etc., For example, a Risk analysis solution that is available on the cloud may not allow customizations or add various additional costs. Few other questions to ask are:

Can the solution evaluate risks at the Fiori apps level? Is the solution scalable to S/4 HANA systems? Does the solution allow for setting up alerts for key risk areas? Does the solution support multiple rulesets? Can the solution handle approval workflows for key master data changes, such as Risk and Mitigation Control? Does the solution provide robust change logs to ensure data integrity? Lastly, is the solution provider GDPR compliant if the data is hosted in their system? Keep in mind that SoD analysis may involve accessing Personally Identifiable Information (PII) data. Consider other factors such as scalability, flexibility, ease of implementation, and user-friendliness. Some popular SoD solutions in the market include SAP GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) Access Risk Analysis, SAP Cloud IAG, RSA Archer, and ToggleNow’s Verity.

ToggleNow’s Verity solution offers a seamless implementation process, specifically designed for ECC/S4 systems, without the requirement for additional infrastructure or software licenses. Built on ABAP, this user-friendly solution can be readily implemented within a short timeframe of 7-10 days. One of the notable advantages of Verity is its affordability, with significantly low implementation and support costs. By choosing Verity, organizations can swiftly integrate robust Segregation of Duties controls into their existing systems while keeping implementation and maintenance expenses at a minimum.

Step 5: Request Demonstrations

Request demonstrations from the shortlisted SoD solution providers. This will allow you to evaluate their functionalities in a real-world setting and assess how well they meet your specific requirements. During this phase, involve key stakeholders, such as compliance officers, IT personnel, and end-users, to gather their feedback and perspectives. Ensure that the solutions address the specific compliance mandates and audit requirements applicable to your organization.

Crucial Advice for Preserving HIPAA Compliance

Healthcare organizations handle the most complicated tasks along with handling the patients. They are not only required to take care of their patients but also need to ensure the privacy of their data. Compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is critical for healthcare organizations tasked with safeguarding patient privacy and sensitive medical information. With the ever-changing environment of healthcare technology and data management, HIPAA compliance necessitates a proactive strategy and adherence to best practices. In this blog, we will look at critical guidelines for healthcare organizations to efficiently manage HIPAA compliance. These guidelines, which range from staff training and data security procedures to risk assessments and incident response plans, will help you protect patient information while adhering to HIPAA laws. Let’s look at the most important ways to ensure HIPAA compliance in today’s healthcare setting. The current blog will be essentially useful for you if you are also working in the healthcare industry. 

Healthcare organizations must ensure HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) compliance to protect patient privacy and data security. Here are some necessary tips to achieve HIPAA compliance: 

Staff Training: Provide all workers with comprehensive HIPAA training, including the importance of patient privacy, the handling of protected health information (PHI), and security procedures. There are a wide variety of topics that are covered in HIPPA training that includes topics like maintaining patient Confidentiality, handling patient personal data safely, it is crucial to invest in the personnel staff training to maintain the standard of the organisation.Policies and Procedures Regarding Privacy Create and execute explicit privacy rules and processes for how PHI should be accessed, used, disclosed, and protected inside the organization. 

Controls for accessibility: Implement stringent access controls to restrict employee access to PHI based on their employment positions and duties. To prevent unauthorized access, employ unique usernames, strong passwords, and authentication procedures. These controls are critical for ensuring that protected health information (PHI) is only available to authorized people, while also protecting patient privacy and security. Role-based access control (RBAC) is a fundamental measure that limits access to PHI based on employee roles and responsibilities. Unique user IDs and strong password restrictions enhance security by preventing unauthorized access. 

Encryption and Data Security: PHI should be encrypted both at rest and in transit to prevent unauthorized access or interception. Use encryption methods for data transport, such as SSL/TLS, and encryption algorithms for data storage. 

Secure Communication Channels: To transfer PHI between healthcare professionals, patients, and other authorized entities, use secure communication channels such as encrypted email or secure messaging platforms. Encryption techniques are used to safeguard PHI at rest and in transit, reducing the risk of interception or unauthorized access. Access logs and audit trails provide visibility into who accessed PHI and when allowing organizations to monitor for suspicious or unauthorized activity. Physical access controls, such as badge systems and restricted areas, provide extra levels of security against unauthorized access to PHI storage locations 

Timely Risk Assessment: Risk assessments are performed on a regular basis. Conduct risk assessments on a regular basis to detect potential PHI security weaknesses and threats. Address any identified hazards as soon as possible and put mitigation plans in place. Healthcare organizations can improve their security posture, reduce the risk of data breaches, and remain HIPAA compliant by conducting timely risk assessments and applying suitable risk management strategies. Furthermore, a proactive risk management strategy indicates a dedication to protecting patient privacy and preserving trust in the healthcare system.  

Business Associate Agreements: Require all business associates and third-party contractors who handle PHI to sign HIPAA-compliant business associate agreements (BAAs) stating their obligations for PHI security. Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) are HIPAA-compliant contracts that define the roles of third-party suppliers or business associates who handle protected health information (PHI). These agreements ensure that business associates follow HIPAA laws while maintaining the confidentiality and security of PHI. BAAs create guidelines for data handling, breach notification, and compliance oversight, encouraging accountability and preserving patient privacy across the healthcare ecosystem. 

Incident Response Plan: Create and implement an incident response plan to handle data breaches or security incidents affecting PHI. Outline the steps for containing the breach, alerting affected persons, and reporting the incident to the appropriate authorities. HIPAA’s Incident Response Plan (IRP) defines how a healthcare organization should respond to data breaches and security incidents involving protected health information (PHI). It defines roles and duties, creates methods for breach detection and notification, and describes how to contain and mitigate the effect of security breaches. The IRP guarantees a timely and coordinated response to breaches, assisting organizations in minimizing patient harm while also meeting HIPAA’s breach notification standards. 

Role of Audit Trails: Implement audit trails and monitoring systems to trace access to PHI, detect unauthorized activity, and verify HIPAA compliance. Review audit logs regularly for any suspicious or unauthorized activity. Running audit trails in HIPAA entails keeping detailed records of who accessed protected health information (PHI), when, and for what purpose. These audit trails provide crucial information about potential security breaches or unauthorized access, which helps with compliance monitoring and incident response operations. By examining audit trails on a regular basis, healthcare organizations can quickly identify and mitigate security incidents, protecting patient privacy and guaranteeing HIPAA compliance.  

Documentation and compliance reviews: Maintain detailed documentation of HIPAA rules, procedures, training records, risk assessments, and incident response actions. Conduct frequent compliance assessments and audits to ensure HIPAA compliance and identify areas for improvement. 

Healthcare organizations can effectively protect patient privacy and data security while meeting their legal and ethical obligations under HIPAA laws by following these crucial suggestions and remaining proactive in maintaining HIPAA compliance. 

To summarize, maintaining HIPAA compliance is a vital responsibility for healthcare organizations to preserve patient privacy and uphold operational integrity. Healthcare organizations can reduce risks and maintain compliance with HIPAA laws by implementing the essential guidelines given in this article, such as comprehensive staff training, robust data security measures, regular risk assessments, and incident response plans. Prioritizing HIPAA compliance demonstrates a healthcare organization’s commitment to protecting patient information and maintaining confidence with patients and stakeholders. Staying abreast of the ever-changing landscape of healthcare data management will require continuous evolution and adaptation to emerging threats and regulatory changes. Healthcare organizations may effectively traverse the complexity of HIPAA compliance by taking a proactive approach and committing to best practices.

Custom Medical Billing Solutions for Healthcare Providers

In today's rapidly changing healthcare environment, it is not enough to simply provide first-rate medical service. Any healthcare organization thrives and grows depending on financial management whether is it issue of medical billing. Outsourcing this function to custom tailored medical billing services company has become more than a trend among healthcare practices; it is seen as their solution. Their services also go beyond mere basic billing, they practicing specific custom solutions according to every practice.

What Are Customized Medical Billing Services?

What are custom medical billing services? Custom medical billing, unlike traditional one-size-fits-all services, is tailored to the specific needs of each practice (whether it be a small clinic or large hospital with several departments and multi-special existence on paper).

0 Shares Share on Facebook This isn't just your basic billing services (you know, coding, verification of insurance- yada-yada), but conclusion denial management that is 100% domestic for you patient processing claims and collecting *building funds (*the two most important things in RCM) all fully HIPPA compliant.

Customized Medical Billing Services – Advantages

1. Boosted Income and Efficacy

The most biggest benefit custom medical billing services bring is they are able to boost up the pay. Specialized medical billing companies can pin-point specific problems with a practice's full revenue cycle. For example, is the biggest issues recurring claim denials? These payers can also help providers improve their revenue cycle and get paid faster by fixing these problems, in addition to making the billing process more efficient.

Billers that provide personalized service understand the ins and outs of your practice, as well as how each internal team member you have works with a specific insurance network which results in more error-proof claim billing. This results in more efficient providers and less time dealing with administrative hassles instead of patient care.

2. Specialized Expertise

Medical billing and coding is a specialized, complex field that requires detailed knowledge of payer requirements, coding regulations and health care laws. They deliver the highest level of custom tailored billing and they hire certified coders, billing specialists who keep up with ever changing healthcare billing rules such as ICD-10 coding together with CPT codes.

They also are highly proficient in managing the complexities of various specialties — cardiology, oncology or orthopedics and mental health. Partnering with a team that comprehends the unique billing requirements of your specialty assists in minimizing claim rejections, generating compliance and optimizing reimbursements.

3. Better cashflow & financial health

The lifeblood of a healthcare organization is cash flow. By ensuring better claim submission, reducing delays and managing collections more effectively, customized resources can attract a stable flow of money for healthcare providers.

In addition to medical billing services, a number of companies also provide comprehensive reporting and analytics which help the providers understand how their revenue cycle is performing. When it comes to guiding better business decisions using data (which in healthcare is key – the margins are lean), providers can start by observing trends relating to types of payment delays, denials and where they see other issues.

4. Administrative burden lessened

Between coverage verifications ensuring that your healthcare providers will be reimbursed for their work, and waiting to see if insurance companies are going pay a fair share of the costs associated with those services, processes fulfilling administrative duties involved in medical billing can put significant strains on the staffs at healthcare practices. When practices outsource billing to a custom service provider, the administrative side of things will become easier. This frees healthcare providers and their staff to concentrate on patient care rather than waste countless hours dealing with insurance companies, coding or billing matters.

5. Scalability: You may increase or decrease the number of your containers Flexibility : Getting a customized environment for an application

Flexible Services – Custom medical billing services that grow with your practice. Regardless of whether you are a fledgling clinic or an experienced hospital, this service is geared to fit your dynamic needs; Not only will the service be capable of growing in scope with your practice or morphing to reflect changes you've made, so too can their billing strategies and operations adapt as required by a larger patient population and higher claim volume.

The other benefit of custom billing services is the flexibility. What is better for different providers are either hiring the full-service revenue cycle management or some support in certain billing areas like coding and denial assistance. This flexibility enables practices to receive the specific assistance they require, rather than be forced to pay for services that are not required.

6.Compliance and Security

Obviously for any provider, complying with healthcare regulations is the most important thing. These customized services ensure that all billing processes adhere to federal and state regulations, such as HIPAA guidelines. They apply robust security protocols to safeguard the confidential patient records.

They help providers save on legal issues, audits and penalties by staying compliant and secure. This peace of mind is crucial for healthcare providers who are dedicated to high-quality care.

Z Here, we uncover the different ways you can make sure to handpick a fitting custom-tailored medical billing service.

Because not all medical billing companies provide the same service, fellow practitioners need to ensure choose one that fit their practice. So let's go through some of the things you should look out for when choosing a custom-tailored billing service:

Experience and Knowledge: Make sure the company has experience in your specialty to understand nuances of billing unique to your practice.

Technology and Integration: You should try to find a billing provider that utilizes the latest technology, while also integrating fully with your practice management system and EHR.

Transparency and Communication – Look for a company that gives you clear communication, fair pricing & monthly updates on your billing health.
