Podcasts about outpatient services

As the host of the Lessons in Leadership podcast, I've had the privilege of speaking with some incredible minds in the business world. Today, I'm thrilled to share insights from my recent conversation with Dr. Bonnie Wilson, an executive coach who works with ambitious tech leaders. Her mission is to help these leaders move from being “promotion ready” to “promotion selected.” Dr. Wilson's expertise lies in helping leaders overcome one of the toughest challenges in leadership: holding people accountable while delegating effectively.

Mental health is a multidimensional aspect of our well-being, encompassing emotional, psychological, and social facets. Hence, it prompts us to view individuals not through the narrow lens of diagnoses but as complex beings with diverse emotional, psychological, and social needs.    However, many people fail to separate the person who struggles with their mental health from the labels imposed by diagnoses. As our guest speaker aptly points out, changing the narrative from "that person is a drug addict" to "that person struggles with addiction" is a pivotal shift in language that reflects a more compassionate and accurate understanding. By acknowledging the struggle rather than defining the person by it, we break down the misconceptions surrounding mental health. Together, let's contribute to breaking down barriers, nurturing connections, and ultimately, creating a world where mental health is viewed with empathy, openness, and a commitment to holistic well-being.   In this episode, we want to help listeners gain a deeper understanding of the critical components involved in fostering mental health and well-being, both at an individual and community level. We aim to unravel the intricacies of mental health services, the impact of personal stories, and the significance of breaking down stigmas surrounding mental health conditions. Through the exploration of real-life examples and practical advice, we aspire to empower our audience with the tools needed to identify signs of struggle in youth, create a supportive environment, and contribute to the unlearning of prevalent misconceptions about mental health. Join us on this enlightening journey as we navigate the complexities of mental health, challenge stereotypes, and provide valuable insights that can foster a more compassionate and understanding society.   Today, we're joined by Nathalie Williams, a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with over a decade of experience in mental health and substance abuse services. She has worked with individuals of all age groups, offering support for a wide range of diagnoses across various treatment settings, including in-home, outpatient, inpatient crisis stabilization, and residential care. Nathalie's expertise extends to co-occurring disorders, trauma survivors, high utilizers of behavioral health services, PTSD, offenders, homeless individuals, and those with developmental disabilities. She provides individual and family counseling, group counseling, crisis prevention, assessments, and case management.   In addition to her clinical work, Nathalie has extensive management experience, overseeing programs such as outpatient services, case management, residential group homes, psychiatric support services, and an intensive in-home program for at-risk youth. As the Director of Outpatient Services and Case Management at Lakeview Center of Walton County, Nathalie is dedicated to improving the well-being of her clients. Her career is characterized by a commitment to using evidence-based therapies, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), to provide effective and transformative techniques. Throughout her journey, Nathalie's work embodies the resilience and strength of the human spirit, empowering individuals to overcome even the most challenging circumstances.   “Learning how to make our language more accepting and warmer and making a person feel like the individual that they are, it is a key component to breaking the stigma around mental health.” – Nathalie Williams   Show Highlights:   (00:00:00) Episode disclaimer, highlight, and introduction (00:02:11) Welcoming today's guest, Nathalie Williams.

And in order for us to really meet those needs, collaboration must be a part of the picture.” – Abraham Sculley “If someone you know, or love is talking about things in a way that's a safety concern immediately, get help. Take it seriously.” – Nathalie Williams “I think one of the challenges that we hear or see a lot is not necessarily that there's a lack of resources, but there is no awareness of what resources are accessible. And so, we're not taking advantage of these resources because we don't even know they exist.” – Abraham Sculley “We are not our addiction. We are a person who struggles with those things just like you might struggle with diabetes.” – Nathalie Williams   “It's being observant, it's making people feel heard and being aware of how our communication and language impacts one another.” – Nathalie Williams   “Mental health is our emotional, psychological and social well-being. It's how we think, it's how we feel, it's how we act, it's how we relate to other people and that is a full picture, the full person which we go back to from the beginning.” – Nathalie Williams   “Be present, be mindful on how a small act of kindness goes a long way for here.” – Nathalie Williams   Connect with Nathalie via the following:   · Website: https://www.lifeviewgroup.org/ · Email: nathalie.williams@lakeview-center.org .

In this episode of Recovery Replay, host Dominic Lawson takes you behind the scenes as he presents unreleased content from previous guests Deena Harless and Scott Plumb. Deena offers additional insight into her journey with her son Aaron's medical struggles, most notably his diagnosis with cystic fibrosis. Scott reflects on the bonds formed during recovery, likening them to the camaraderie experienced in battle. Guests include the Director of Outpatient Services of The Meadows in Houston, Texas, Eyerusalem Mulatu, Executive Director of Gentle Path, Scott Davis, and Scott's brother, Chip Plumb.

In this episode of Recovery Replay, we dive into the story of Deena Harless as she navigates a childhood filled with change ‑ from her parent's divorce to multiple moves and a parent's chronic illness — that led to attention seeking, addiction, and eventually recovery. Deena also shares her very complex relationship with her mother and its impact on her. Eyerusalem Mulatu, Director of Outpatient Services at The Meadows-Houston, provides commentary and insight into Deena's story.    

Bookings and Referrals Centre (BARC) staff receive approximately 2,500 phone calls per week. To address all these different types of enquiries, the team previously had to access more than seven distinct systems, making the provision of patient care inefficient and slow. This led to the design of our solution, Kirra, which replaces these multiple systems previously needed to manage outpatient waitlist and bookings with a single, fully integrated web application. Efficiency gains to meet service demand: Streamlined and automated processes to release workforce capacity to enable our staff to work at top of scope and return time to care.

June 2, 2023 Mark, Ray, and Scott discuss coding for 2 E/M services on the same date/patient; coding for services provided to a patient from an SNF in the office.This question originated from a comment on the Thriving Urology Practice Facebook Group [click to join]:Jonathan StarkmanThanks for posting John C Lin I would love to see how a commercial payor like UHC or Cigna would process 2 E/M claims on same day using a 25 modifier as in the first scenario presented...I'd bet a ton of money it would get denied, denied, denied I just wanted to comment on the last scenario which involved a cardiologist seeing a patient from a SNF in their office. The experts suggested using a code 99214. We have had a number of denials in this situation and it seems that because a patient is in a SNF or acute rehab facility they are still considered a "registered inpatient" and according to CMS would need to use inpatient CPT codes to bill for the encounter in your office. My administrator pulled this off our MAC website Outpatient Services for Registered InpatientsThere are occasional circumstances in which a registered inpatient may require a service that is not available at the inpatient facility. These inpatient facilities include acute-care hospitals (POS 21), skilled nursing facilities (POS 31), psychiatric inpatient facilities (POS 51) and comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation facilities (POS 61) as well as other types of hospitals represented by place of service (POS) code 21 unless there is a more specific POS code. Such outpatient services are performed on a same-day basis; the patient is transported to another facility or physician's office and returned to the original facility on the same date of service.When such services occur, the following rules apply:For Part A services (nonphysician outpatient services) performed outside of the facility at which the patient is a registered inpatient:The facility which provides a Part A service must seek compensation from the original facility at which the patient is a registered inpatient. That original facility is responsible for the cost of the service(s) performed at the outside facility and will make payment from Medicare's reimbursement for the inpatient stay.The original facility includes the nonphysician outpatient services on its inpatient claim. This is commonly referred to as under arrangement billing.Examples of services that may be performed under these circumstances (generally referred to as “under arrangement”) include outpatient dialysis, radiation therapy, and diagnostic procedures such as MRI.For Part B services at a physician's office, performed outside of the facility at which the patient is a registered inpatient:The physician's office service must be billed with the POS code that reflects the inpatient facility at which the patient is a registered inpatient (i.e., POS codes 21, 31, 51 or 61 as described above).The physician's office service must be coded using a CPT code correlative to the POS code used on the claim. For example, an office service for a new patient would be represented by an inpatient CPT code in the range of 99221‒99223, while an office service for an established patient would be represented by an inpatient CPT code in the range of 99231‒99233.The important factor here is that the POS code must correlate to the CPT code. Claim editing is set to allow a subset of CPT codes per POS and claims will deny when this correlation is not established on the claims. Such denials, of course, are subject to appeal.

It is said that a human body that has been traumatized or overwhelmed by stress can feel helpless, reactive, angry, impulsive, raging, numb and leaning towards avoidance. AND the same is true for schools! Institutions, public or private, that serve the needs of children, learners and families from distressed communities can also feel helpless and drained with an ongoing crisis or seemingly unmanageable chaos. These places and its people too can become reactive, angry or riddled with avoidance and the necessary skills may be lacking in dealing with overstressed schools and classrooms.On this episode, trauma expert, licensed social worker, the Co-Director of Outpatient Services at NFI, Vermont, and former fellow at Child Trauma Academy (CTA), Dave Melnick, returns to discuss the distinction between trauma-informed vs. trauma-transformed schools and the best practices involved in the effortful redirection that cultivates this deep and wide knowledge that helps make trauma-transformed schools. In these challenging times, psycho-social and emotional trauma experienced by learners, learning communities, and all communities around the globe is far more common than ever before.

The violence in the United States this past month has brought up raw emotions in all of us.  The killing of Asian seniors as they were worshipping in their church, African-American elders as they went about their everyday tasks such as shopping for groceries, and the violent deaths of 19 small children with their two teachers who came to their elementary classrooms for a day of learning—all of this leaves us in a state of deep grief and pain. For some, this might elicit feelings of fear, anger, rage, sadness, numbness, or even resentment. For others, this may invoke a renewed determination to try and make the world a better place. But for most, this might be the ultimate point of exhaustion. On today's podcast, trauma expert, licensed social worker, the Co-Director of Outpatient Services at NFI, Vermont, and a fellow of ChildTrauma Academy (CTA), Dave Melnick, discusses the impact of developmental trauma on childhood learning and the distinction between trauma-informed and trauma-transformed schools. Helping children cope with childhood traumas and setbacks requires effortful redirection and educators as well as leaders must cultivate this deep and wide knowledge to help build better schools.About Dave MelnickDave Melnick, LICSW is the Co-Director of Outpatient Services at NFI, Vermont, a statewide mental health agency primarily serving children, adolescents and families.

Mental health clinicians are often reluctant to treat people who have intellectual and developmental differences (IDDs) for fear of doing something that could worsen rather than improve the client's condition. In this episode  of Justice in Action, two JRI clinicians, Dr. Jacquelyn Kraps, Metrowest Area Director and Clinical Director of Outpatient Services, and Bailey McCombs, Licensed Metal Health Counselor and Expressive Arts Therapist, talk about the rewards and challenges of working with children with a range of differences, from autism spectrum disorder to chromosomal differences, cognitive challenges, and traumatic brain injury. Dr. Kraps and McCombs have helped establish the Developmental Differences Specialty Team to assist other JRI therapists to work effectively with clients with both IDDs and mental health needs, including complex trauma. Services for those individuals have long been siloed because they have been seen as separate and distinct. JRI is breaking new ground by having a single provider address the entirety of the client's service needs. Treating clients with both complex trauma and IDDs draw heavily on a therapist's creativity, flexibility, and powers of observation, Dr. Kraps and McComb say. Sometimes it requires teasing out which problems are caused by trauma and which are part of the individual's developmental difference. They advise other clinicians to be curious, open, and willing to say the wrong thing. If an approach doesn't work, they can always shift course.  Sometimes a client — especially a non-verbal client — can communicate most successfully by writing, drawing, or moving their body. Individuals with IDDs deserve effective treatment for mental health needs, which they are at least as likely to experience as the rest of the community, and they can enjoy positive, healthier outcomes with the right therapeutic approach. For more information, visit jri.org. A note about language: IDD often stands for intellectual and development disabilities. JRI choses to use the word differences instead of disabilities to be as inclusive as possible, and honors that each individual and family get to decide how they identify.

Using this as a metaphor, we first discuss Dr. Brady’s experience as a leader and how being a leader often means doing what’s uncomfortable. Secondly, we discuss how treating OCD can be challenging for therapists and caregivers because you have to be willing to invite someone to suffer in your presence. Dr. Brady discusses with us the ways he creates safe partnerships with patients to help them build courage and embrace change. And lastly, Dr. Brady gives us an overview of the best treatments currently available for OCD and what research we should all be aware of coming up in the field.

Each of us has a predominant way of connecting with others, which relationship scientists call our attachment style. It's exactly what it sounds like—our habitual way of relating to people. Some of us seem to have an easy time in relationships, enjoying connecting to the people around us, while others are wary of getting too close, even to romantic partners. Still others have a hard time feeling secure in their relationships, always craving a closer connection and worrying that they'll be abandoned. Maybe you identify with one of these patterns. In my conversation this week with psychiatrist Dr. Ben Hunter, we discuss the different attachment styles and where they come from. Attachment is a pretty simple idea but it has powerful implications for understanding our relationships, from our very earliest with our mothers and fathers, through dating and committed relationships, as well as other kinds of connections. Ben and I discuss many issues related to attachment, including: The original research that revealed attachment style The contribution of nature and nurture The consistency in attachment from childhood through adulthood Interactions between attachment styles The possibility of changing attachment style The intersection of attachment style and social media Attachment style in psychotherapy I always enjoy thinking about attachment because it can open our eyes to patterns in the ways we relate to others that we might easily miss, because we're so used to them. For example, we might notice that we instinctively withdraw from relationships that feel too close, and perhaps recognize experiences from our early life that explain our current reactions. By learning to recognize these kinds of patterns, we can start to make more deliberate choices about how we connect to those around us. I hope you enjoy our conversation. Dr. Ben Hunter is the Medical Director of Outpatient Services at Skyland Trail, a residential treatment center in Atlanta, GA. He was an All-American pitcher on Wake Forest University’s baseball team, and was selected in the Major League Baseball draft but ultimately decided he was called to medicine. Ben completed his medical training at Emory University followed by a psychiatric residency at Penn, which is where I met him when I was his cognitive behavioral therapy supervisor for a year. He was named chief resident during his final year. Ben's work has been recognized with the University of Pennsylvania’s Laughlin Foundation Award for outstanding professional achievement as well as the Kenneth D. Cohen Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Award. Find Ben on Instagram at benhuntermd and on the web at Skyland Trail; the admissions number is 866-504-4966.

Hey Medicare Nation! It's January 2018! I hope everyone made informed decisions regarding your Medicare Advantage Plans for 2018. If you missed the last episode, go back and listen to it! I discussed the Medicare Premiums, co-pays and co-insurance for 2018. Many of you have sent me emails "asking me" if you can change your Medicare Advantage Plan in January. The answer is......yes....with specific guidelines. Currently, it is the Medicare Advantage Plan "Disenrollment Period." The current Disenrollment Period runs from January 1st through February 14th each year. During this time, you can "drop" your Medicare Advantage Plan and go back onto Original Medicare. You do this by contacting MEDICARE by phone     800-633-4227.....and telling the Medicare representative that you would like to "Disenroll from your Medicare Advantage Plan" to go back onto Original Medicare. Medicare may also help you with a Part D prescription Drug Plan if you'd like. On Original Medicare, you are covered under Part A and Part B of Medicare.  Under Part A....you are covered for Medicare benefits where you would stay at a location as an "inpatient." The most common location is .....The Hospital. Another location where you stay overnight as an inpatient is....a Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF). A SNF is NOT a Nursing Home. An SNF is a location where you are admitted as an inpatient to receive medical care and rehab 24hrs a day. Also..... if you are diagnosed with a terminal illness, your doctor may suggest you enter Hospice as an inpatient.  All the services covered in the Hospital, SNF and Hospice are covered under Part A of Medicare. There is a "Deductible" each time you are admitted to the Hospital. The Deductible cost for being admitted as an inpatient in the hospital is $1,340.00 in 2018. The Deductible is due EACH benefit period you are admitted. Part B of Medicare is for "Outpatient Services." Benefits under Medicare for Outpatient Services covered under Part B include, but not limited to: * Doctor Vists * MRI's * Laboratory Blood Draws * Outpatient Same Day Surgery  * Oxygen in your home There is an "Annual Deductible" for Part B of $183.00. After you pay your $183.00 annual deductible, you will be responsible for the remaining 20% Medicare Allowable Charges for services under Part B. What does that mean?  Let's say you already visited your Cardiologist and had bloodwork drawn at Quest or Labcorp. We'll say your out-of-pocket costs for both cost a total of $183.00. That takes care of your annual Part B deductible for 2018. Now....let's say three months later.....you need to have an MRI. We'll say the Medicare allowable cost is $1,500.00. Medicare Part B covers 80% of the $1,500.00, which is $1,200.00. You will be responsible for the remaining 20%, which is $300.00. You will pay 20% of ALL Part B Medicare Allowable Charges. There is NO Cap! You may also need Prescription Drug Coverage. Prescription Drugs are NOT covered under Part A or Part B in general. Prescription Drugs will be covered while you are admitted to one of the facilities under Part A.  If you want Prescription Drug coverage, you WILL need to enroll in a stand-alone-prescription-drug-plan. You can find which Prescription Drug Plan (PDP) is available in your area, by going onto the Medicare.gov website and "hover" over the FIRST Blue Box named "Sign Up/Change Plans." A column will appear and go down to where it reads..."Find Health & Drug Plans." "Click" on that box and it will bring you to the Medicare Plan Finder site. Type in your zipcode and follow the instructions.   If you are comfortable with the costs associated with Original Medicare Parts A & Part B.....then that's all you need to do. If you'd like to add additional coverage to protect you against the on-going out-of-pocket costs associated with Original Medicare, you can purchase a Medicare Supplement (a.k.a. Medi-Gap) Plan. A Medicare Supplement Plan is an Insurance Policy, where you pay the insurance carrier a monthly premium and the plan will pay Medicare out-of-pocket costs that you have pre-determined. Medicare Supplement Plans "VARY" in coverage and in premiums. The "Medicare Benefits" they pay for you, are the SAME, no matter where you live in the U.S. So.....if you chose a Supplement Plan "F," which is the policy which pays ALL your out-of-pocket costs for Medically Necessary services under Medicare, and you live in Seattle, WA.......you will be covered for the EXACT SAME Medicare benefits as a person living in Tampa, FL. What is different you ask? The difference is in the PREMIUM you pay. Insurance Carriers that offer Medicare Supplement Policies charge DIFFERENT  Premiums! You NEED to know what the difference in Premiums are by EACH Insurance Carrier for the SAME TYPE OF PLAN. Here's an example: Mary is turning 65 in March of 2018. Mary has a history of heart problems and would like to remain on Original Medicare and purchase a Medicare Supplement Plan "F" so that she can see ANY Cardiologist that is contracted with Medicare.... in ANY State.  Mary also wants to have a budget for her out-of-pocket health costs and having a Medicare Supplement "F" plan will allow her to do that. Mary lives in Miami, FL and calls her Medicare Specialist Diane. Mary discusses purchasing a Medicare Supplement with Diane and asks for her expertise and guidance. Diane tells Mary that the 3 lowest premiums in her zipcode have the following montly premiums: 1. $239.00 From Acme Insurance Co. 2. $250.00 From Beta Insurance Co. and  3. $275.00 From Delta Insurance Co. These premiums are for the EXACT same Plan with the SAME benefits! Why would you pay Delta insurance company $275.00 a month, when you can pay Acme Insurance Company $36.00 a month less....for the SAME benefits! That's why it's soooo important to speak with a Medicare Specialist or Medicare Consultant like myself. I speak MEDICARE! I care about YOUR best interests! I have NO loyalties to ANY Insurance Company!  You can also STAY on the Medicare Advantage Plan you are enrolled in. Do your Due Dilligenct to ensure you are doing what's best for your health and out of pocket costs for 2018.   I'm hear to help you if you need me! You can contact me by email at Support@TheMedicareNation.com You can contact me by phone: 855-855-7266. I will even answer your question by email if I can answer it in ONE paragraph!

We've heard the saying, "Fake it 'til you make it," but is it really true? Change your life just by believing you can!   Larry Peacock flunked out of 8th grade, was kicked out of school, and lived in poverty for most of his early life. Before age 10, he had lived in 10 different apartments, lived in the projects, and had briefly stayed in a cheap roadside motel. His father worked infrequently and was abusive towards both him and his mother, who only completed an 8th grade education. But at age 20, his close friend was murdered and his world fell apart. It was then he decided to make a change in his life.   Larry went from a life of violence, trauma, and poverty to being the Vice Chair of Manchester Memorial Hospital in Connecticut. He's also an Educator, Director of Electroconvulsive Therapy and the Medical Director of OutPatient Services at UConn Health Center. Larry is also a husband, father, and advocate for the underprivileged. He firmly believes that lives can, and do change when you stop believing what others say, and start believing in yourself.   Tune in with Dr Jo Anne White, host of Power Your Life, and hear Larry Peacock's amazing life-altering story. Find out how YOU can change your life and live YOUR dreams! http://www.lawrencejpeacockmd.com/home.html

The NOTICE ACT On August 6, 2016, The Notice of Observation Treatment and Implication for Care Eligibility Act, went into effect. (Sec. 2) This bill amends title XVIII (Medicare) of the Social Security Act to require a hospital or critical access hospital with an agreement with the Secretary of Health and Human Services(Medicre) to give each individual who receives observation services as an outpatient for more than 24 hours an adequate oral and written notification within 36 hours after beginning to receive (Observation Services) which: explains the individual's status as an outpatient and not as an inpatient and the reasons why; explains the implications of that status on services furnished (including those furnished as an inpatient), in particular the implications for cost-sharing requirements and subsequent coverage eligibility for services furnished by a skilled nursing facility; includes appropriate additional information; is written and formatted using plain language and made available in appropriate languages; and is signed by the individual or a person acting on the individual's behalf (representative) to acknowledge receipt of the notification, or if the individual or representative refuses to sign, the written notification is signed by the hospital staff who presented it.    Here is the link to the Federal Register, which explains in more detail Procedures Applicable to Beneficiaries Receiving Observation Services: https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2016-04-27/pdf/2016-09120.pdf   Medicare Advantage Plans  “A beneficiary enrolled in a Medicare Advantage or other Medicare health plan would receive the required notice under the existing rules that apply to hospitals and CAHs under a provider agreement governed by the provisions of section 1866(a)(1)(Y) of the Act.”   If you are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage Plan, you are covered under the provisions of your plan. READ your plan’s Evidence of Coverage (EOC) to determine what your out-of-pocket expenses will be in this situation.   I am urging each of you to be Pro Active with your own Health Care! If you or a loved one goes to the Emergency Room or a Critical Access Hospital, be prepared to speak up! Speak to the Physician in the ER who is treating you. Ask the physician specifically…..”Am I being ADMITTED to the hospital as an INPATIENT?” If the answer is “Yes,” you will be covered under Medicare Part A benefits.  If the answer is…. “No…..you are UNDER OBSERVATION. OR……”No……you are receiving OUTPATIENT SERVICES.”  You WILL more than likely be responsible for co-payments, co-insurance or maybe ALL charges! Call your Primary Physician or Specialist. Tell the office or Answering Service that you or your Family member is in so and so Emergency Room, so and so hospital and you want your Doctor to either: Come to the hospital and examine you to determine if you should be admitted to the hospital as an inpatient                                            OR Have your doctor speak to the Emergency Room physician who is treating you, in order to determine if you will be admitted or able to be discharged from the Emergency Room.   You Should NOT have to be in an Emergency Room for up to 23 and a quarter hours UNDER OBSERVATION! Your Primary Doctor is the “Quarterback of your health team!” Your Primary Doctor is in charge of your health care! That is what they get paid to do all that extra paperwork for! Put them to work for you!   Do you have a Medicare Question? Send it to Support@TheMedicareNation.com Tell a friend or family member to SUBSCRIBE to Medicare Nation.
