The Government Accountability Office (GAO) is recommending expansion of the Medicaid Recovery Audit Contractors (RACs) program, to include auditing of payments made to managed care organizations (MCOs), according to a GAO report released in June.Launched in 2011 as a consequence of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the Medicaid RACs were purported to be aggressive in their recouping of alleged Medicare Fee-for-Service (FFS) overpayments. They could now be poised to expand into the rapidly growing MCO plans.  During the next live edition of Monitor Mondays, Dennis R. Jones, senior director of revenue cycle at Jefferson Health, will report on this developing story.Broadcast segments will also include these instantly recognizable features:Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, vice president of R1 RCM, will make his Monday Rounds.The RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Knicole Emanuel, partner at the law firm of Nelson Mullen, will report the latest news about auditors.Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrikson & Byron, will join the broadcast with his trademark segment.Legislative Update: Folana Houston, assistant general counsel for Zelis, will report on current healthcare legislation.

WorldPride is the biggest event on the world's LGBTQIA+ calendar. This year, it's being hosted by Sydney – the first time WorldPride is held in the Southern hemisphere – coinciding with the iconic Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras. This year, RACS is participating in WorldPride alongside several other medical colleges. The involvement has come about through the advocacy of a new LGBTQIA+ community, Pride in Medicine. Two key figures of the group are Dr Matt Marino, a surgical Fellow who is President of Pride in Medicine and Dr Sarah Rennie, Aotearoa New Zealand Surgical Advisor and a driver of this initiative for RACS. Both participated in the Mardi Gras parade. The College's participation demonstrates its advocacy on behalf of the health and wellbeing of LGBTIQIA+ communities. It is also part of the College's strategic focus of building a culture of respect and embracing diversity as well as serving all communities equitably to build sustainable surgical services.

RACS is a strong, independent public voice for the rights of refugees and people seeking asylum. We assist people of all nationalities, religions, and sexual and gender identities. In 1987, RACS quietly opened its doors with very few staff but with very big ambitions to provide access to crucial legal support for people seeking asylum in Australia. For 35 years, thousands of courageous people from all corners of the world have walked through our doors. They have been welcomed and supported by hundreds of committed staff, passionate legal students and thousands of volunteers.

           In S 3 E 11 I am delighted to welcome Associate Professor Rhea Liang to the podcast.  Rhea  is a general and breast surgeon, surgical educator, and diversity advocate. She is Surgical Discipline Lead and Clinical Sub-Dean at Bond University, and  notably she is the immediate past Chair of the RACS Operate With Respect education committee.      A third of medical trainees report that they have experienced or witnessed workplace bullying or harassment, including racism in 2021 according to the AHPRA annual Medical Training Survey.  After a sentinel event in 2015 RACS  launched Building Respect.  In this conversation we delve into the nuts and bolts of what it actually takes in terms of planning,  investment, resources, expertise and supports to role out a strategy and system designed to change culture.        Rhea gives wonderful insights from her international learning and experience across disciplines and industries designing and implementing change in complex  systems.  The conversation zooms in and out from big picture systems thinking to on the ground clinician experience, from the professional to the personal and from the logistics of process to the truly practical. Rhea explains the mechanics of having peer " cup of coffee" conversations to address disrespectful behaviours, the evidence-base behind this work and some real world examples. She breaks down her very practical 5 step tool for helping medical students and doctors in training to build skills to address micro-aggressions and micro-inequities in the moment.     We discuss her own career journey experience, opportunities and challenges and her powerful drive, purpose and passion as a clinical champion and advocate for diversity, equity and inclusion permeates this entire conversation. I left uplifted and very inspired by the thoughtful, intelligent and brilliant clinician.

Technology in surgery continues to evolve in leaps and bounds, particularly the advances of robotics. A little under 20 years ago, Professor Tony Costello performed the first radical prostatectomy using robotics in Australia. Since then, he has performed 2,500 robotic procedures and has trained dozens of international robotic surgeons at International Medical Robotics Academy (IMRA), an institution he founded and of which he is currently Executive Director and CEO. RACS has partnered with IMRA to deliver ‘The Foundations of Robotic Surgery' online introductory course, which provides foundational theory and principles required to safely perform robotic surgical procedures. This course is the first of its kind to have surgeons instructing surgeons on how to use robots in surgery.

As a new Fellow, Dr Zainab Naseem was hoping to achieve a more comfortable work-life balance when she came across an advertisement for the New Fellow Rural Placement – or NFRP – on the College's website. The NFRP is an initiative delivered by RACS through the Specialist Training Program, funded by the Australian Department of Health. Dr Naseem was at Sydney's Royal North Shore Hospital at the time when she applied for the rural placement at Griffith Base Hospital, in the Riverina region of central New South Wales. Although it was hard to adjust at first, Dr Naseem and her young family have learned to love the regional city.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“Ridiculous denials are frustrating. Vent, and then respond,” Dr. Andrew Markiewitz advises. “But ask: are you arguing over the Titanic’s deck chairs?”  “Insurers may correctly identify unsubstantiated diagnoses,” Markiewitz added – and, if their findings are legitimate, return the money. If the DRG or reimbursement doesn’t materially change, after all, where’s the value?Fighting the fight worth fighting will be the topic of the next edition of Monitor Mondays, when Markiewitz, a physician advisor at the Cincinnati-based TriHealth, Inc., will share his experiences in appealing DRG denials.Other segments to be featured during the live broadcast include the following:RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Knicole Emanuel, a partner at the law firm of Practus, will file the Monitor Mondays RAC Report.Legislative Update: Former Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) official Matthew Albright, now chief legislative affairs officer for Zelis, will report on the status of healthcare legislation associated with the current COVID-19 pandemic.Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrikson & Bryon, will join the broadcast with his trademark segment, reporting on legal implications facing healthcare providers.Social Determinants of Health: Ellen Fink-Samnick, a nationally recognized expert on the social determinants of health (SDoH), will report on the latest news that’s occurring at the intersection of healthcare and socioeconomics.

In this episode, I am speaking with Sarah Dale - the Centre Director and Principal Solicitor for RACS Australia. RACS (Refugee Advice & Casework Service) provide critical free legal advice, assistance and representation, for financially disadvantaged and vulnerable people seeking asylum in Australia, including: women who have experienced or fear domestic, family or gender-based violence members of the LGBTIQA+ community stateless people children who are seeking protection without their parents people seeking family reunion in Australia They advocate for systemic law reform and policy that treats refugees with justice, dignity and respect. In the episode, I speak with Sarah about the history of the asylum seeker policy in Australia, the critical support that RACS provides to the community's vulnerable and the impact that COVID-19 has had on Australia's refugee and asylum seeker population, both on-shore and in off-shore detention. The refugee sector at large has been under constant threat in recent times, with federal funding decimated. RACS does not receive any federal funding to deliver services and are currently the only organisation providing free legal advice dedicated to supporting people seeking asylum. It's for this reason that I wanted to invite Sarah on the show to share how we can support these people in our community and shed light on the hidden crisis facing refugees and asylum seekers in Australia.
