Benjamin Reigle, founder and host of the Revenue Cycle podcast "My Good Friends," shares his extensive experience in the healthcare industry, including co-founding Health Rise Consulting Firm and leading initiatives at companies like McKinsey & Company and Accredited Health (now R1). He is also the CEO of Tarpon Health, a community driving automation for healthcare providers. In this episode, Benjamin dives into the topic of healthcare change, emphasizing the importance of understanding industry shifts. Stay tuned to gain insights into the evolving landscape of healthcare. The Change Healthcare breach, as discussed in the podcast episode with Benjamin Reigle, has had a profound impact on the healthcare industry. The breach resulted in challenges with claim submission, cash flow, and data security, affecting not only the operations of Change Healthcare but also having a ripple effect on healthcare providers, payers, and patients. The breach led to issues with claim submission, as some payers who relied solely on Change as their intermediary were unable to process claims. This created a backlog of claims and disrupted the revenue cycle for many healthcare organizations. Some providers resorted to manual processes, such as printing and mailing claims, which added complexity and delays to the billing process. Cash flow was significantly impacted by the breach, especially for smaller healthcare entities like physician groups and community hospitals. With claims not being processed efficiently, these organizations faced financial strain due to delayed payments and uncertainty about when the situation would be resolved. The lack of cash flow threatened the financial stability of these smaller entities, highlighting the importance of having contingency plans and backup systems in place. Data security concerns arose as a result of the breach, with questions about the extent of the data compromised and the potential implications for patient privacy. The breach raised questions about the adequacy of security measures in place and the vulnerability of healthcare systems to cyber threats. The need for enhanced data security protocols and proactive measures to prevent future breaches became a pressing issue for healthcare organizations. Experian Health Client Communication February 23, 2024 Experian Health is aware of Change Healthcare's (Optum's) announcement on February 21 about a cybersecurity incident affecting its systems. Experian's Cyber Incident Response team and Cyber Threat Intelligence teams have been engaged and are closely monitoring the situation. We have not seen evidence of a threat to Experian. Out of an abundance of caution and consistent with Experian's security practices, Experian has temporarily severed connectivity to Change Healthcare. During the period of this severed connectivity, there will be an impact to batch and EDI authorizations, claims and remits, claim status, eligibility, and notice of care transactions that Experian Health sends to Change Healthcare. Experian will resume connectivity to Change when it receives assurances from Change Healthcare that it has adequately contained the threat. Payers work with a variety of clearinghouses to process data. In many cases, multiple payer connections are available although sometimes payer connectivity may be limited or even exclusive to a single clearinghouse. In the majority of cases, transactions from Experian Health route directly to the requestedpayer. When connectivity is limited or certain routes are unavailable, however, it is common to route traffic through another clearinghouse. Below is a list of potentially impacted payers. Our teams are actively evaluating and rerouting transactions when an alternative route is available and will provide an update to this list as soon as possible.

In Episode 98 of the Charity Charge Show, Stephen talks to Nancy Long, Executive Director of 501 Commons, whose mission is to serve nonprofits as experts, innovators, and partners. Their passion is to amplify the strengths of nonprofits—so ALL people and communities flourish. Stephen and Nancy Long talk about the resilience of nonprofits during the COVID-19 pandemic, 501 Commons recent reports regarding nonprofit employee compensation, and common mistake nonprofits make with grants.

Nancy was on the health care reform policy staff for the Washington Health Services Commission. She served as the Director of Marketing for the Basic Health Plan. She developed groundbreaking research to promote health insurance to diverse communities and implemented community-based outreach that resulted in unprecedented participation and diverse enrollment. As the Director of Quality for the Washington State Hospital Association, she represented hospitals on regulatory matters and led a quality of care research project with rural hospitals. As the Director of Marketing & Community Services at Pacific Medical, she led the effort to create the Cross-Cultural Health Care Program, which has done breakthrough work on culturally and linguistically accessible health care. Nancy has a BA in social psychology (University of Texas), and a master's from the Evans School (University of Washington), where she was also a lecturer, teaching nonprofit leadership and management.

A concentrated focus on prevention, coordinated care and management of chronic disease can go a long way toward improving health outcomes and reducing costs. Many of these steps can be accomplished through smart investments in a robust primary care system. Prioritizing outcome-based primary care is a proactive approach to medicine that's focused on keeping people healthy—and out of the health care system.

Michelle Page received her Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy degree from the University of Connecticut and her Doctor of Pharmacy degree from Creighton University. She then went on to complete a pharmacy residency at Group Health Cooperative of Puget Sound in Seattle, Washington and also became a Board Certified in Geriatric Pharmacy. In addition, she has completed several certification programs including diabetes, smoking cessation, and medication management. It was during her work in geriatrics when she began to become disillusioned with the allopathic medical model and started exploring lifestyle medicine and alternative healing modalities beyond herbs and supplements. This journey led her to the functional medicine model and its approach to treating the dis-ease found in the body. As a life long learner, Dr. Page has a very diverse knowledge base and skill set that includes personal training, nutrition consulting and success coaching. All of which she utilizes as the founder of the Unbreakable Moms, a supportive community that connects moms with resources and a podcast. Dr. Page is currently working on her first book about the influence of the gut-brain connection on mood which will be published in the spring of 2020. She is a wife and mom of 2 daughters with whom she shares a home with their dog, 2 cats, and 2 fish. She enjoys being creative through performing music and making jewelry. www.michelle-page.com FB: @DrMichellePage @Unbreakablemoms IG: @drmichellepage @unbreakablemomspodcast --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/chouhallegra/support

What do you know about gut health? Honestly, I didn't know very much. I had heard for years that mental health can be tied to what's going on in our guts and I finally decided to ask an expert. This week's interview is all about how gut health affects mental health and we get to hear from my friend, Dr. Michelle Page.  Michelle Page received her Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy degree from the University of Connecticut and her Doctor of Pharmacy degree from Creighton University.  She then went on to complete a pharmacy residency at Group Health Cooperative of Puget Sound in Seattle, Washington and also became a Board Certified in Geriatric Pharmacy.  In addition, she has completed several certification programs including diabetes, smoking cessation and medication management.

Health care related bills are dominating this session of the Washington State Legislature, with dozens under consideration. From mental health funding to immunization exemptions to increased B&O taxes, there’s no shortage of legislation that will have a direct impact on doctors. Among the most important and influential voices on health care policy in Washington state is Rep. Eileen Cody (D-Seattle), the chair of the House Health Care and Wellness Committee. Cody recently retired after working at Kaiser Permanente (formerly Group Health Cooperative) in Seattle for the past forty years. She is a neuro-rehab nurse certified in both rehabilitation nursing and multiple sclerosis care. In addition to her work at Kaiser Permanente, Eileen is a founding member of District 1199 NW/SEIU Hospital and Health Care Employees Union. Rep. Cody is the longest serving house member, and certainly among the most knowledgeable - if not the most knowledgeable - legislator when it comes to health care. Despite her jam-packed and hectic schedule, she was kind enough to take some time to visit with host/producer Josh Kerns of the King County Medical Society and share her insights for this special edition of Docs Talk.

Vernon and Dr. Hoyt discuss the influence Women have had within the cooperative movement; organizations and resources available to help cooperative startups, and how women have used cooperatives to solve community problems. Hoyt is an internationally known expert on cooperatives, who began her distinguished career in the 1960s as a member of the Berkley Consumer Food Co-op. Her academic interest in cooperatives took root in graduate school at University of California at Davis, where her Master's Thesis focused on the Consumer Cooperative of Sacramento. Always active in the national food cooperatives, Ann began her 25 year directorship of the annual Consumer Cooperative Management Association (CCMA) in 1988. Her love of teaching led to work in board education and governance, and the launch of an intensive education program for food cooperative managers, the Cooperative Management Institute (CMI). She has trained several thousand cooperative and non-profit directors and managers throughout the country and is the creator of a video-based director training program for cooperatives. Hoyt is the recipient of the 2014 Cooperative Service Award from CCMA and the Howard Bowers Fund. Currently Dr. Hoyt is Board President of Group Health Cooperative of South Central Wisconsin.

Medical home innovators Group Health Cooperative, Greenhouse Internists and Grand Valley Health Plan describe practice level transformations that improve care delivery and move them along the path to NCQA medical home recognition in Part 2 of Medical Home Open House Highlights.

Although Group Health Cooperative's increased their primary care staff, patients are still successful in connecting with their caregivers, says Michael Erikson, vice president of primary care services for Group Health Cooperative. In fact, the key to a patient's understanding of his care team lies in the physician's hands. In this podcast, Erikson discusses the effect Group Health's staff expansion has had on its patients, as well as the many benefits of contacting patients via phone and e-mail in lieu of in-person office visits. Erikson described the staffing strategies it implemented to reduce downstream utilization costs --- from the skill sets required by the staff to the workflow changes needed to accommodate this model of care during a September 9, 2009 webinar, Successful Models of Care for the Medical Home: Staffing and Roles of the Care Team. The 45-minute session is part of HIN's continuing Medical Home Open House webinar series.

The opening sessions of the Medical Home Open House webinar series delivered tips for improving care continuity, quality and access for patients assigned to a medical home. Healthcare thought leaders Barbara Wall, Doreen Salek and Liz Reardon describe how the medical home offers opportunities to improve patient education, transitions in care and the integration of behavioral and primary health. The remaining 45-minute sessions of the Medical Home Open House Series will explore strategies for staffing, reimbursement and attaining NCQA certification from early medical home adopters Group Health Cooperative, Baptist Health System and Taconic IPA.
