An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Everyone deserves broadband! Renew the Affordable Connectivity Program.

904 so far! Help us get to 1,000 signers!

The Affordable Connectivity Program has been a critical lifeline for millions of Americans, providing essential access to high-speed internet. This program has enabled students to continue their education remotely, allowed adults to work from home, facilitated tele-health services, and ensured that individuals remain connected to their loved ones during challenging times. As the expiration date of the ACP approaches, I am deeply concerned about the potential loss of these vital services for those who need them the most. The expiration of this program would disproportionately impact low-income households, exacerbate the digital divide, and hinder our nation's progress towards ensuring universal access to high-speed internet. Therefore, I strongly urge Congress to act swiftly and renew the Affordable Connectivity Program. This renewal is not just a matter of maintaining the status quo but a step forward in building a more connected, inclusive, and equitable society. By renewing this program, Congress will demonstrate its commitment to bridging the digital divide and supporting the ongoing needs of all Americans in the digital age. Thanks.

Neurological physiotherapy

Neurological physiotherapy involves the treatment of people with movement and function disorders that have originated from problems within the body’s nervous and neuromuscular system. These conditions often manifest themselves as muscle weakness, poor balance and coordination, uncontrolled muscle spasm and tremors, loss of function and decreased sensation. Neurological Physiotherapy is able to kick-start the message pathways that your brain is struggling to use, to make new pathways through repetitive actions and exercises. Many of the patients who undergo Neurological Physiotherapy can improve symptoms such as, difficulties with loss of balance, loss of hand and arm, or leg and foot function, walking, spasticity and pain. It is a process that centrally involves the disabled person in making plans and setting goals that are important and relevant to their own particular circumstances.

By focusing on all aspects of a person's functional independence and well-being, Neurorehabilitation offers a series of therapies from the medications, physiotherapy, and speech and swallow therapy, psychological therapies, occupational therapies, teaching or re-training patients on mobility skills, communication processes, and other aspects of that person's daily routine. Neurorehabilitation also provides focuses on nutrition, psychological, and creative parts of a person's recovery.

Many neuro-rehabilitation programs, whether offered by hospitals or at private, specialized clinics, have a wide variety of specialists in many different fields to provide the most well rounded treatment of patients. These treatments, over a period of time, and often over the lifetime of a person, allow that individual and that person's family to live the most normal, independent life possible.

Outsourcing Healthcare Billing for Telehealth: A Game-Changer for US Providers

The healthcare landscape has been dramatically reshaped by the rapid adoption of telehealth services, particularly accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. As telehealth becomes integral to patient care, providers face different challenges, with healthcare billing being one of the most critical. Given the complex nature of telehealth billing, many healthcare organizations are turning to outsourcing as a strategic move to enhance their revenue cycles and optimize operations.

Understanding Telehealth Billing Challenges

Before discussing the advantages of outsourcing healthcare billing, it's crucial to understand the specific challenges associated with billing for telehealth services:

Varied Coding Requirements: Telehealth services often require different modifiers and codes compared to in-person visits. Providers must navigate an extensive array of CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) codes specific to telemedicine, which can differ between payers.

Regulatory Compliance: The rules governing telehealth reimbursement can frequently change, making it difficult for providers to keep up. Compliance with Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance regulations, along with state-specific laws, is essential to avoid costly mistakes.

Reimbursement Discrepancies: Different insurers have varying policies on telehealth reimbursement. Some may offer equal reimbursement for telehealth visits, while others may not, leading to potential revenue loss if not managed correctly.

Claim Denials and Appeals: The rate of claim denials tends to be higher for telehealth services, often due to coding errors or misinterpretations of coverage policies. This increases the need for effective follow-up and appeals processes, placing further strain on healthcare providers.

Patient Communication: Ensuring patients understand their billing and coverage for telehealth services can be challenging. A lack of clarity can lead to confusion, dissatisfaction, or delayed payments.

Why Outsourcing Healthcare Billing is Transformative

Outsourcing healthcare billing, particularly for telehealth services, has several transformative advantages:

Expert Knowledge and Compliance: Outsourcing billing allows providers to partner with firms that specialize specifically in telehealth billing. These professionals stay updated on the newest regulations, payer requirements, and coding changes, significantly reducing the risk of compliance issues and ensuring accurate claims submission.

Efficient Revenue Cycle Management: Specialized billing companies employ advanced technology and skilled staff trained in medical billing best practices. This expertise can lead to quicker claim submissions, reduced denial rates, and streamlined appeals processes. By improving the efficiency of their revenue cycle management, providers can ensure a steady cash flow.

Cost Savings and Financial Flexibility: For many healthcare organizations, especially smaller practices, maintaining an in-house billing department can incur considerable costs. By outsourcing, providers can convert fixed labor costs into variable costs, paying only for services rendered. This approach often results in significant savings on salaries, benefits, technology investments, and ongoing training.

Increased Focus on Patient Care: Healthcare professionals are primarily dedicated to providing patient care. Outsourcing billing and administrative tasks allows them to concentrate on what they do best—serving their patients effectively. This focus can enhance patient satisfaction and ensure that telehealth services are delivered more efficiently.

Scalability and Adaptability: The nature of telehealth can lead to fluctuations in patient volume. Outsourcing provides the scalability needed to handle these variations effectively without the complications of hiring or laying off staff. Providers can adjust their billing operations in response to demand easily.

Choosing the Right Partner for Outsourcing

When considering outsourcing healthcare billing for telehealth, it’s vital to choose a partner that aligns with your organization’s needs. Here are key features to look for in a billing service provider:

Industry Specialization: Ensure the billing company has a strong track record in telehealth billing specifically. Their understanding of the nuances in coding, compliance, and reimbursement policies will be invaluable.

Technological Capabilities: A good billing service should utilize modern technology for billing processes. This includes automated claims submission, comprehensive tracking, and reporting capabilities that provide valuable insights into your revenue cycle.

Transparent Communication: Look for a billing partner that emphasizes clear communication. Regular updates, detailed reporting on billing performance, and direct lines of communication can significantly enhance your understanding of the financial health of your practice.

Customizable Solutions: Each healthcare provider has unique needs. A billing partner should offer customizable solutions that adapt to your specific operational model and service offerings in telehealth.

Proven Track Record: Seek testimonials or case studies that demonstrate the billing company’s effectiveness in improving revenue cycles for telehealth providers. Reliable partners will have a history of success and satisfied clients.
