How far would you go to get the career you've dreamed of since your childhood? In high school, Kyle Weigand (Director of Operations, Brouse McDowell, LPA) wrote letters (yes, back when snail mail still existed!) to 40 law firms in the Cleveland area and got one response. He started in that firm's mailroom soon after. Kyle's personal touch paid off; from there, it's been a steady rise from paralegal to director to helping start a law firm from the ground up for this go-getter. Join us for this fascinating discussion on why transparency and communication for all levels of employees is crucial to a firm's success. Kyle brings a unique perspective to this topic and gives us all a lot to think about.

Join Host Nicole Thorn, health care attorney, who discusses with guest Lori Kilpeck, a trusts and estates partner at Brouse McDowell the importance of physicians planning their wishes for their assets--tangible and intangible-- in various legal documents. Health care businesses often rely on operational knowledge of physicians in their management and administrative capacities so succession planning is also critical to the sustainability of those organizations. Finally, trusts and estates planning is also helpful for other family members such as college students.

In Part II of this series, learn a bit more about intrapersonal skills, particularly self and social management aspects of emotional intelligence and how honing those skills can help physicians diffuse stressful situations. In the heat of the moment and in an effort to avoid mistakes affecting patient care, physicians can sometimes lash out physically and wind up in hot water running afoul of medical staff bylaws and/or other professional conduct standards. Jenifer provides some insight into how physicians can focus on their development of techniques and tools to prevent such conduct. Jenifer Haller-HillJH Coaching & Consulting, LLC330.354.9286jhcoachingconsulting.comTwitter  |  LinkedInSchedule a time for us to connect here! Nicole M.

Decades ago no one thought we would still be talking about asbestos claims, but yet here we are. While they certainly have slowed, they have not stopped and, in some ways, have gotten worse. The emerging claim trends are affecting disputes over insurance coverage, making asbestos a problem that doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon. In this episode, we will highlight the claims data for 2018 and identify the claims trends and insurance coverage issues to be discussed in future episodes.

A recently enacted Ohio law creates a legal safe harbor against tort liability arising from a data breach.

The Issue. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will allow providers to bill for certain virtual interactions with patients that fall outside traditional telehealth services for the first time. Three new “virtual care” codes were included as part of the 2019 physician fee schedule. Providers can bill for these services beginning on January 1, 2019. Why It’s Important. Traditional telehealth services have strict requirements that must be met in order to bill Medicare and Medicaid. The new virtual care codes are what many hope will be the start of relaxing requirements towards virtual care. Providers can bill for patient telephone conversations and review of patient images and videos for the first time and be reimbursed.

The Issue. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services issued a final rule that sets a new direction for the Medicare Shared Savings Program, including wholesale changes to the “track” model previously used for accountable care organizations. Why It’s Important. The final rule dramatically changes the current ACO framework, and providers who participate must understand the differences from the previous rule. Increased risk has been added to the program, meaning providers should ensure they are fully informed of the program’s new structure.
