This show we do a throwback to our 100th episode where we talk with our two most important mentors ------ Our 100th show!  We couldn't think of a better way to celebrate this milestone than by having our two most important mentors on the show:  Mike Brown of the former Praesidium Group and Craig Douglas of Shivworks. Topics:   Meeting Mike in the mid 90s, how he became such an important coach and mentor to Eric and Aaron; how he pushed Eric join the TPI forums and to take ECQC.  The Twins becoming a host to Craig for multiple classes through the years and how that relationship led to training with others in the Shivworks collective.   TPI and its influence on the current multidisciplinary realm and how forums have transitioned to video and social media.  Is this good/bad?  Who are folks in this multidisciplinary realm whom both Craig and Mike recommend and what makes great instructors.  Lastly, we talk a little gear, P365s, red dots, and some other fun topics to close out the show.  Previous appearances of Mike and Craig Mike Brown Ep. 5 https://directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/show/evosec/id/10923969 Ep 45 https://directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/show/evosec/id/18674765 Craig's Ep 13 https://directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/show/evosec/id/12326351 Ep 49 https://directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/show/evosec/id/19725887 Please subscribe and share our podcast with friends and family.  Visit our website for bios, future events and info at www.evosec.org  Like, follow and share us on Facebook and Instagram @evosecusa WE ARE PUMPED TO HAVE A NEW AFFILIATE LINK FOR ORIGIN AND JOCKO FUEL!!!  Help support this show by purchasing any of your JiuJitsu gear, Jocko Supplements, books clothing and more... link below.

In today's episode, VGM's Craig Douglas and Ronda Buhrmester talk about the importance of taking action to pass Bill S. 1294 which would extend the 75/25 blended rate from the Cares Act. Listen as they explain why this is necessary and what you can do to help! Understanding the 75/25 Blended Rate and Why We Need Legislative Action!In 2020, amidst the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the healthcare industry witnessed the introduction of the 75/25 blended rate through the passage of the CARES Act. This rate adjustment, named after its 75% and 25% allocation model, aimed to protect access to DME products and services in non-rural, non-competitive bid areas by temporarily increasing Medicare reimbursement rates for providers serving those areas. Craig Douglas, VP of Payer and Member Relations, and Ronda Buhrmester, Sr. Director of Reimbursement and Payer Relations, recently released a podcast going into a deep explanation of the 75/25 blended rate and why keeping them in place is so important to the industry. In this article, we will highlight some of the key points around the 75/25 blended rate, its significance, its implications for the industry, and the ongoing legislative efforts to extend its benefits. Origins of the 75/25 Blended Rate The 75/25 blended rate emerged as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic with the enactment of the CARES Act in early 2020. This legislative action was designed to ensure that medical equipment suppliers could continue providing essential services despite the challenges posed by the pandemic. The "75/25" in its name refers to the proportion of reimbursement rates calculated from two different periods: 75% from the post-competitive bidding rates and 25% from the unadjusted fee schedule in place before competitive bidding. This blended rate was implemented to counter the decline in reimbursement rates experienced in the years leading up to the CARES Act. Understanding the Blended Rate Calculation To grasp the concept of the 75/25 blended rate, let's consider an illustrative example with a CPAP device (HCPCS code: E0601). Prior to competitive bidding and rate adjustments, the reimbursement for this device was approximately $100. Through various rounds of competitive bidding, the reimbursement rate saw a substantial reduction to around $40 by 2020. The blended rate calculation takes 75% of the lower 2020 rate (75% of $40) and 25% of the pre-competitive bidding rate ($100), yielding a blended rate of approximately $55 for most non-rural areas. Extension Efforts: Senate Bill S.1294 The 75/25 blended rate significantly impacted the reimbursement landscape for specific medical equipment codes, particularly those that experienced substantial decreases due to competitive bidding. This adjustment aimed to ensure that suppliers could continue providing essential medical equipment to patients while maintaining financial sustainability. However, the 75/25 rates are not permanent; they are currently slated to end on 12/31/2023. When this happens, those rates will revert to what was in place prior to the implementation of the 75/25 blend, adjusted for inflation. This will mean a decrease in reimbursement of up to 40% for many DME products provided to non-rural, non-CBA beneficiaries.

Our 100th show!  We couldn't think of a better way to celebrate this milestone than by having our two most important mentors on the show:  Mike Brown of the former Praesidium Group and Craig Douglas of Shivworks. Topics:   Meeting Mike in the mid 90s, how he became such an important coach and mentor to Eric and Aaron; how he pushed Eric join the TPI forums and to take ECQC.  The Twins becoming a host to Craig for multiple classes through the years and how that relationship led to training with others in the Shivworks collective.   TPI and its influence on the current multidisciplinary realm and how forums have transitioned to video and social media.  Is this good/bad?  Who are folks in this multidisciplinary realm whom both Craig and Mike recommend and what makes great instructors.  Lastly, we talk a little gear, P365s, red dots, and some other fun topics to close out the show.   Previous appearances of Mike and Craig Mike Brown Ep. 5 https://directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/show/evosec/id/10923969 Ep 45  https://directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/show/evosec/id/18674765 Craig's Ep 13 https://directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/show/evosec/id/12326351 Ep 49 https://directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/show/evosec/id/19725887 Please subscribe and share our podcast with friends and family.  Visit our website for bios, future events and info at www.evosec.org  Like, follow and share us on Facebook and Instagram @evosecusa WE ARE PUMPED TO HAVE A NEW AFFILIATE LINK FOR ORIGIN AND JOCKO FUEL!!!  Help support this show by purchasing any of your JiuJitsu gear, Jocko Supplements, books clothing and more... link below.

The hosts interview Craig Douglas - Shivworks.Hosts:Tessah GabrielleMatt LandfairEvan Sheard

If you ever need to watch how Craig Douglas teaches then you had better have trained it. This is the formula one of personal protection that most do not teach or cannot teach realistically. Craig Douglas has an amazing background spending decades of studentship, instructorship and training elite fighting forces around the world. He is probably the foremost instructor within his niche when it comes to those who truly must know how to implement this discipline of protection. This type of protection is like a parachute. When you need a parachute, all you need is a parachute and I hope you never need a parachute but want you to have one if the day ever comes. This applies to all of us because if you need to defend yourself against an enemy who is right on top of you, 5 feet in then what he teaches can truly save your life. Can you draw your CCW pistol or blade under consistent human pressure? This extremely important component of personal protection is why we have had him as one of our elite instructors for multiple live events and why he will be teaching this year at the upcoming Protector Symposium 4.0. Beyond all of that, he is a truly modern man in every sense of the word and he dispenses content and information that helps boys become men on his platform. This episode will help you understand the theories behind what he teaches, how it applies to you no matter what your job or walk of life is and where you can start learning this rare but very important skill. Make no mistake, if what you're learning cannot be replicated and tested safely but closely to the speed of reality then you probably shouldn't rely on it… Don't miss your chance to learn from him at this upcoming Protector Symposium 4.0 along with four other elite instructors who've been training the best fighting force is around the world for decades.… ENJOY!
