Medicare Advantage. It's everywhere you turn. From upcoding to denials, the huge and growing program—which now covers more lives than traditional Medicare, but is increasingly the target of local and federal scrutiny and a stream of endless OIG audit reports—seems to be in the news daily. In a sea of online anger and noise, there's a few voices of reason, reminding us about the regulations and guidelines and how MA should be conducting itself—at least in theory. One such person is Richelle Marting. Richelle is an RHIA and a JD and owner of a host of coding credentials besides. As a Healthcare Reimbursement Attorney and Founder of Marting Law, LLC, she brings a unique legal viewpoint to medical coding, coverage, and payment. She knows what regulations bind Medicare Advantage plans—and how these are often skirted. On this show we cover: • Richelle's start to 2025, personally and professionally • What MA plans must cover and pay for, by law • Prior authorization • Under which circumstances MA plans can use internal coverage criteria • How MA plans game the system: three sneaky tactics you won't want to miss • The latest on automated denials/use of AI • Richelle's answer to the question: Medicare Advantage: Yay or Nay? • An interesting new year's resolution and latest addition to the OTR Spotify playlist Richelle's desktop MA policy links: Governing rules for Medicare Advantage: Code of Federal Regulations 42 Part 422: https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-42/chapter-IV/subchapter-B/part-422/subpart-C Final rule for MA plans (April 2023), 4201-F: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/04/12/2023-07115/medicare-program-contract-year-2024-policy-and-technical-changes-to-the-medicare-advantage-program Medicare Internet-Only Manuals: https://www.cms.gov/medicare/regulations-guidance/manuals/internet-only-manuals-ioms Medicare Advantage 2026 proposed rule: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/12/10/2024-27939/medicare-and-medicaid-programs-contract-year-2026-policy-and-technical-changes-to-the-medicare

Earning your RHIA (Registered Health Information Administrator) is a huge accomplishment, and for some marks the end of a four-year academic journey and an entry into HIM. For Richelle Marting, it was only the beginning. In pursuit of her RHIA, which she eventually earned, my guest on today's episode took a class on the legal aspects of HIM. That course planted the seed for a career in law—and eventually led her to start her own law firm. All while raising two twin girls. I don't know how she managed all this, but that's why I got Richelle on Off the Record. On this show we discuss: Richelle's story from RHIA to JD. How difficult was the bar exam? Becoming an entrepreneur and starting her own law firm Most frequent type of healthcare cases: Clinical validation audits and DRG validation The coding guidelines she sees most frequently ignored or twisted to the payer's benefit, and other shady tactics What do healthcare organizations make too big a deal out of—and what are they not worried about enough? Qui Tam and the recent spate of cases initiated by organizational whistleblowers, in particular Medicare Advantage organizations Managed care contracting: Legal issues around contract negotiation, how claims get paid, timely filing, and payment policies. How quickly must plans respond to appeals, and should you put a diagnosis definition in a payer contract? What advice would she give to someone who is in HIM and considering a career in law—what does she know now that she wishes she knew then?

In this episode of Capital for Good we speak with three inspiring leaders in women's health, Erika Seth Davies, Jade Kearney, and Flory Wilson, each pioneering advances in reproductive and maternal health, and each using business, investment, engagement, and advocacy as levers for social change. Davies is the CEO of Rhia Ventures, a nonprofit that advances reproductive and maternal health equity by leveraging capital to focus on the needs, experiences, and perspectives of historically marginalized people in decision making. Rhia ventures activities include venture capital investing (via RH Capital), ecosystem building, corporate engagement and advocacy, and narrative change. Wilson is the founder and CEO of Reproductive & Maternal Health Compass (RMH) Compass, a nonprofit focused on the role employers play in access to reproductive and maternal health, and on providing companies with the tools, resources, support, and recognition necessary to offer best in class RMH benefits for all workers. Kearney is the co-founder and CEO of She Matters, a digital health platform designed to improve maternal morbidity through cultural competency and technology. Focused in particular on improving health outcomes for Black women, and on the epidemic of Black maternal morbidity, She Matters is a B2B company that offers health providers a culturally competent certification program tailored to the specific nuances and challenges facing Black women in the US health care system. Over the course of this conversation, we touch on the personal and professional experiences that have informed each of these leaders' work in health equity and access. We also explore how current headwinds and retrenchment — on reproductive and maternal health, on racial equity and inclusion, and on corporate activism — motivate them and have shaped their innovative business models. “If anyone says entrepreneurship is easy,” Kearney says, “point them in my direction. Social entrepreneurship is sometimes gut wrenching because you're so close to the problem. But change is also soul feeding because you're so close to the problem.” Thanks for Listening!

“Why are you not giving yourself a solution?” Rhia Gibbs, Black Teachers Connect Educational consultant, Former teacher sociology, criminology https://blackteachersconnect.co.uk/ "Become a teacher and conquer the world." In this week's insightful episode, we sat down with Rhia Gibbs, an accomplished educational consultant with a background in sociology and criminology. Rhia's educational journey was guided by a powerful piece of advice from one of her Black teachers: "Become a teacher and conquer the world." Despite experiencing a rebellious phase, she was reminded that she could do better. Throughout her schooling, Rhia encountered just two Black teachers which underscored her mission to elevate educators. "Creating a community for Black teachers." Rhia's organization, Black Teachers Connect, embodies her unwavering goal to impact and empower teachers while fostering a vibrant community. Rhia emphasizes the need to address traumatic incidents in schools, like the unjust strip-search of a teenage girl. Reflecting on George Floyd's global impact, Rhia underscores the importance of acknowledging issues within the UK's own borders. Despite some progress, she recognizes the ongoing struggle for students within the system to envision themselves reaching the pinnacle of success. With only 2% of UK teachers being Black/African/Black Caribbean, Rhia's Black Teachers Connect offers a much-needed network for Black educators—a place to excel, share wisdom, connect, and have fun. Join us in this episode as Rhia Gibbs continues her journey of building a vibrant and empowering community for Black teachers in the UK.
"Hello! My name is Abigail Eliza. I wear all the hats for Back Again, Back Again – if there's something happening in the show, that's me doing it! Back Again, Back Again is a narrative portal fantasy about ex-prophecy children, the end of adventures, and queer girls with swords. It follows the story of Ilyaas, who, on the night of her seventeenth birthday, gets portal-magicked away to a world called Rhysea – where she is told that she is part of a prophecy to save the country. The podcast picks up at the traditional end of all ""portal fantasy"" stories: prophecy completed, Ilyaas must readjust to the ""real world"" while still remembering everything she's seen. This is season two, episode four – Nonbeliever. In this episode, the king's palace has just been raided by the rebels (called the fretim in the show), rescuing Ilyaas and Rhia. However, Ilyaas has spent the entirety of the first season on the side of the kings due to a lack of information and an inability to understand the common language, Rhysean, something that also comes up a lot in this episode. Ilyaas, who mostly speaks English, is having to work all of her thoughts into a language she is, objectively, pretty shit at. Callia, who speaks not only Rhysean but a few of its dialects, has very little patience for this, especially as she mostly still views Ilyaas as a traitor. Ilyaas thinks Callia is a part of the big prophecy in Rhysea. Callia doesn't really think of Ilyaas at all, if she can help it. The Rhysean that you hear happening in the show – especially in this episode – is a conlang that I created for the sake of the show. As someone who works in foreign language learning and teaching, the politics of language are everywhere, and it's really cool to be able to explore them in a fantasy world. Thank you so much for listening – or, as we say in Rhysea, gratinoc!" cw: Small descriptions of violence, swearing Transcript can be found at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1F3ICVjRpHNhfYp0wlks48uhhQ_-UxLUYp7vvGkG3_D8/edit https://backagainpodcast.wixsite.com/home Socials: backagainpodcast on both!

HIM professionals and nurses can get along, after all. There has long been a divide in the clinical documentation integrity (CDI) profession over who can/should serve in the CDI role. Though it has lessened with the passing of years, that divide still exists today. Recent ACDIS survey data shows that 72% of CDI professionals are nurses. Nothing wrong with that; nurses make wonderful CDI professionals. But I know of many fine CDI professionals with HIM/coding backgrounds who have also succeeded in the role. As well as MDs, even the occasional respiratory tech or CPHQ. With this episode of Off the Record I wanted to prove that an RN and an RHIA can not only exist side-by-side, but get along, quite amicably. As friends, even. Turns out I did not have to look far or dig too deeply. At a reception at the ACDIS national conference earlier this year I ran into Andrea Smith and Rebecca McDade. I made my way over to their table, and a half hour of conversation (and a bit of wine) later, invited them on to a podcast that did not yet exist, except in my mind. What struck me was that they were friends, despite their very different backgrounds. Five months later I had them on Off the Record. And can now bring you this show, and revive a part of the conversation we had that evening at ACDIS. Andrea is the CDI Director at Washington Regional Medical Center in Fayetteville, Arkansas, a nurse who moved into CDI eight years ago. Rebecca meanwhile is Director of Revenue Cycle Integrity for the same organization, and an RHIA. Despite their differences they work very well together, complimenting each other's unique strengths and skills in adjacent roles (note: Rebecca is not directly in CDI but works closely with that department). We cover the lay of the land at Washington Regional Medical Center, including the staffing of its CDI and coding programs, metrics for success, and assistive software. Then a day in a life of each, their roles and responsibilities, and respective origin stories. Things get interesting when we talk about the historical RN/HIM divide, how they've bridged that gap, and the unique strengths each profession brings to the table (this starts at about the 37-minute mark of the show). Hosting this conversion reinforced that we can get along, at least some and perhaps most of the time, if we're willing to acknowledge differences and be generous. Andrea and Rebecca are proof.
Today's show is hosted by ACDIS Associate Editorial Director Linnea Archibald, Editor and Product Coordinator Karla Accorto, and Associate Editor Jess Fluegel. Today's show is part of our “ACDIS Happy Hour” series, which provides a glimpse behind the scenes of all things ACDIS in a more casual, conversational format than our other podcast series. It also features a sneak peek of the 2022 CDI Salary Survey results, which will be released in early 2023, and a conversation about the importance of salary survey data with Anneleah Williams-Bridges, RHIA, RHIT, CCDS, CCS, CCS-P, who is a hospital executive at Virginia Hospital Center and a member of the ACDIS Leadership Council.
