Podcasts about RUC

Defending British interestsHilary Benn is the 25th British Secretary of State since the Conservative government of Ted Heath scrapped the Stormont Parliament in 1972. Whitelaw was the first. I met him during the London talks in July that year. There was then a gap of 23 years before I met another British Secretary of State, Patrick Mayhew. I have met most of the rest since then.The 25 were a mixed bunch both in ability and in temperament. Most we had never heard of before they were given the job. Many we never heard of again after they left here.  A few were friendly. Some, like Roy Mason, were wannabe generals or spymasters who bought enthusiastically into the counter-insurgency strategies of the spooks, Brit military and RUC. Some, like Merlyn Rees, were bumblers who hadn't a clue about the North and probably didn't care, and some were or thought they were, clever and devious. Most of them suffered from delusions of grandeur. I used to call it the English disease but that is probably unfair. Not all English people believe they have the right to rule other countries. But whatever their personalities or politics they all had one thing in common – they were here to defend British national interests – whatever the cost.The battle for hearts and minds of UnionismMichelle O'Neill honoured her commitment to be a First Minister for All when she chose to take part in Sunday's remembrance day ceremony in Belfast. Deputy First Minister Emma Little Pengelly chose not to honour her responsibilities by refusing to attend this week's inauguration of Catherine Connolly as the 10th Uachtarán na hÉireann. The two choices taken by both leaders' highlight again the refusal by unionism to accept the core principles of equality and parity of esteem which are at the heart of the Good Friday Agreement.The battle for hearts and minds of UnionismMichelle O'Neill honoured her commitment to be a First Minister for All when she chose to take part in Sunday's remembrance day ceremony in Belfast.

Last month, the "Billing Boys"—Chris Jones and Phil Rodgers—joined the GeriPal podcast to demystify medical billing and coding in palliative care. This month, we're back with part two, shifting the focus to geriatrics. While billing and coding may not be the most exciting topic, they're essential for ensuring fair reimbursement for the complex care we provide and for supporting the work of our interprofessional teams, many of whom can't bill directly for their services. When we underbill or leave money on the table, we not only shortchange ourselves but also devalue the critical role of geriatrics in the healthcare system. This time, we're joined by experts Peter Hollmann, Ken Koncilja, and Audrey Chun to dive into key questions: Why does billing matter, and who does it benefit? What's the difference between CPT, E&M, and ICD-10 codes (if you need a refresher, check out our chat with the Billing Boys here)? We explore how to think about billing for complexity versus time, and unpack new and impactful codes like the Cognitive Assessment and Care Plan Services code (99483), advance care planning (ACP) billing codes, and G2211, which acknowledges the added work of managing patients with chronic conditions. We also highlight the new APCM G-codes for 2025, a set of HCPCS codes that could provide substantial financial support for interdisciplinary teams in geriatrics. Finally, we discuss the advocacy behind these codes. The American Geriatrics Society (AGS) plays a vital role on the AMA's RUC committee, helping to improve reimbursement for the complex care of older adults. Tune in to this week's GeriPal podcast for expert advice, practical strategies, and insights that will help you optimize your billing practices and sustain the future of geriatrics! Here are some of the resources we also talked about: The physician fee schedule look up tool Wwere you can find out CMS expected charge based off where you practice AGS's annual coding update Geriatrics at Your Fingertips, which has a one-pager on billing Medicare Claims Processing Manual

In Belfast, good fences can make for bad neighbors. David Cunningham ( Wash U. sociologist, author of There's Something Happening Here and Klansville, U.S.A and frequent RTB visitor) joins John to speak about the Troubles and their aftermath with the brilliant Northern Irish novelist/essayist/memoirist Glenn Patterson. His fiction includes The International (1999) and Where Are We Now? but the conversation's main focus is his two collections of short non-fiction, Lapsed Protestant (2006) and Here's Me Here (2016). Glenn has lifetime of insights about the boundary markers and easy to miss shibboleths that define life in divided places--and in divided times. In Belfast, everyone learns to use words without being marked out: how do you avoid uttering "the one word that gets you killed"? But Troubles that go cold also have a way of heating up again, if we forget, as Glenn puts it, that you can choose who you are. China Mieville's brilliant novel The City and the City is, says Glenn, an allegory for places like Belfast itself, where you have to learn to “unsee” residents of "the other city" even in shared areas. That kind of unseeing, in fiction and in real life, leads to distorted mental maps. Glenn sees the so-called “softening” of the peace walls as among the most pernicious occurrences of the last 40 years, since softening coupled with notion that you simply belong to one of two "communities" is what makes real traffic, real conversation, harder to achieve. He and David agree that all over the world, in ways the echo Belfast although it is rarely spelled out, all sorts of invisible architectural extensions of the security and segregation apparatus hover unobtrusively. Glenn also riffs on the names people dream up for what might lie beyond a Belfast wall's other side, spinning off writer Colin Carberry's proposal: Narnia. Mentioned in the Episode “Love poetry: the RUC and Me” was Glenn's first nonfiction piece back inthe late 1980s. Robert McLiam Wilson: Glenn's friend and fellow Troubles novelist, whose work includes Ripley Bogle (1989). Eoin Macnamie's work includes Resurrection Man (1994). “The C-word” (2014) Glenn's wonderful essay on the trouble that starts when the word "community" gets subdivided into "communities." Padraic Fiacc, sometimes called ”the Poet oft he Troubles” finally has a blue historical marker. That makes Glenn ask why are there are so many "blue plaques" for combatants, so few for non-combatants? The interface zones and the strategic cul de sacs that continue to divide Belfast neighborhoods have been brilliantly detailed and studied by various historians; eg this tour by Neil Jarman, Glenn compares Civil Rights in Northern Ireland in the 1960s with the US Civil Rights movement and with Paris 1968; the 70's bombing campaigns lines up with the actions of the Red Army Faction in Germany. Recallable Books Glennn says his inspiration to write on partition comes from reading Salman Rushdie's Shame and Midnight's Children. He also praises John Dos Passos USA trilogy. David interested in the long tail of a conflict and aingles out Glenn Patterson's own novel, The Northern Bank Job as well as Eoin McNamee The Bureau. Inspired by Glenn's account of how resident learn to see and unsee portions of Belfast, John praises Kevin Lynch's 1960 The Image of the City. Read the episode here. Learn more about your ad choices.

Nesta emissão das Conversas de Café à Mesa da Rádio temos de volta Serafim Duarte mais animado do que nunca para agitar o éter. Depois de umas férias em que se perdeu por entre montanhas de livros e se reencontrou em dezenas de atos de ativismo político, o Serafim regressa com a sua visão do mundo aguçada, informada e, como sempre, com uma ponta de irreverência.Das paisagens da Papua às da longínqua Patagónia, os ouvintes voltam a contar com o comentário empolgante, pronto a desafiar ideias feitas do Serafim que, desta vez, e só desta vez, não se queixa do João Pedro Gonçalves, o anfitrião destas jornadas da palavra na RUC (e aqui na Net).

Cécile Kohler et Jacques Paris sont à bout. C'est ce qu'ont indiqué leurs proches, dans une conférence de presse hier matin. Alors que les deux Français otages en Iran depuis mai 2022 ont été condamnés cette semaine à de lourdes peines de prison, notamment pour espionnage, leurs familles font un constat alarmant. Les deux Français auraient indiqué "regarder la mort en face", dans des  conditions de détention inhumaines. Selon Noémie Kohler, la sœur de Cécile, les conditions de confiance "ne sont plus réunies" avec les autorités françaises. Les familles sollicitent une action immédiate du gouvernement.La Terrasse Panoramique de l'EuroAirport de Bâle-Mulhouse est à nouveau accessible. Dès demain et après une décennie de fermeture, les visiteurs pourront accéder à une partie de la terrasse qui avait été fermée pour des raisons de sûreté. Grâce à certains changements, il sera donc possible de profiter de la vue sur l'aire de trafic et l'activité sur les pistes. Elle sera ouverte tous les jours de 6h à 21h. Réouverture de la D1420. Après un gros chantier de réfection de la couche de roulement dans la traversée de Saâles, la route est ouverte à la circulation depuis ce matin. Pour rappel, l'enveloppe nécessaire à ces travaux, engagés par la Collectivité européenne d'Alsace, s'élève à 230 000 euros.Une reconnaissance internationale pour le Champ du feu. C'est à Abu Dhabi, aux Emirats-Arabes-Unis, que s'est tenu le congrès mondial de la nature de l'Union internationale pour la conservation de la nature. L'événement a notamment été l'occasion de remettre les prix de la liste verte de l'UICN, une référence internationale pour les milieux naturels les mieux protégés et gérés équitablement. Elle comprend 230 aires protégées à travers le monde, dont 24 en France et 3 dans le Grand-Est : le parc naturel régional des Vosges du Nord et les deux réserves biologiques du Champ du Feu. Les deux sites ont été inscrits sur la liste verte en 2019 et ont repassé une nouvelle validation cette année. Hervé This, physico-chimiste alsacien et père de la gastronomie moléculaire, présentera lundi son nouveau livre à la librairie RUC de Colmar. Un livre grand public, présentant différentes recettes. Au-delà de la technique, le chimiste y abordera la “dimension artistique et émotionnelle de la cuisine”.

Israel/Palæstina-konflikten er noget af det, der i de seneste to år har delt danskerne - og danske medier - mere end noget andet. En undersøgelse, som analyseinstituttet har lavet for RADIO IIII, viser også, at 50 procent af danskerne mener, at dækningen er farvet. Og selvom undersøgelsens konklusion ved første øjekast kan få det til at lyde som om, at danskerne er dybt splittede, så er der ifølge medieforsker ved RUC, Mads Kæmsgaard Eberholst, stadig god grund til at glæde sig over, at danskerne er mere konsensussøgende end rigtig mange andre nationer - også i spørgsmålet om Israel/Palæstina-konflikten. Men Lars Kiær, der er analytiker ved Mediekritisk Netværk, har selv lavet flere analyser af mediernes retorik i forbindelse med dækningen, og deres resultater tyder på, at der fx er en klar ulighed i måden, man bruger kilder på, og det er problematisk, lyder det.

With Michigan's Fiscal Year 2026 budget agreement now signed into law, this week's edition of the Talking Michigan Transportation podcast focuses on a long-discussed pilot project for a road usage charge (RUC) system, which received funding.First, State Sen. Veronica Klinefelt of Eastpointe, who chairs the Senate Transportation Appropriations Subcommittee and has been a strong advocate for studying alternative ways to fund transportation, explains why she advocated for the RUC pilot.Later, John Peracchio, a senior adviser to Michigan's Council on Future Mobility and Electrification (CFME), offers his insights on how a RUC system has worked in other states and how the council can help with the education process.

Roskilde Universitetet er under hård kritik af, at hver sjette kandidatstuderende i 2024 kom fra Bangladesh. Noget, som universitetet har tjent millioner af kroner på. Kritikken har ført til at en uddannelse på RUC blev lukket, og bestyrelsesformandens afgang. Statsministeren beskylder RUC for at føre sin egen udlændingepolitik, og Dansk Folkeparti foreslår helt at lukke universitetet. Men har RUC blot handler indenfor de rammer Christiansborg selv har sat? Fører RUC udlændingepolitik? Og skal RUC lukkes, som DF foreslår?

Mette Frederiksen er gal over, at universiteter bruger en kattelem i loven til at tjene millioner på at optage udenlandske studerende fra Bangladesh, som måske i virkeligheden er i Danmark for at arbejde. Især RUC får statsminister-skældud. Selvom universitetet intet ulovligt har gjort, anklager Mette Frederiksen dem for at føre selvstændig udlændingepolitik og svigte deres ansvar. Men måske peger fingrene tilbage på regeringen selv? Mie Louise Raatz, undersøgende journalist på Berlingske, udlægger sin afdækning. Vært: Simon Stefanski.

Der er krig på kniven i dansk politik. På alle fronter. Mette Frederiksen har udpeget Messerschmidt, RUC og sin egen uddannelsesminister som hovedfjender. Samtidig vil Danmark købe raketter, der kan ramme Rusland. Kulturministeren vil blande politik og sport og som altid fylder konflikten i Mellemøsten meget i dansk politik. Vi runder det meste - og meget mere - når vi går helt tæt på ugens drama på Slotsholmen. Ugens politiske gæst er Venstres politiske ordfører Jan E. Jørgensen, der mener, at “hvis Mette Frederiksen var en mand og havde en anden frisure, så ville man tro, hun var Anders Fogh Rasmussen." Romancen mellem Venstre og Socialdemokratiet, når nye højder. Her får du som altid det bedste selskab fra folk, der kender alle krinkelkrogene på Christiansborg. Martin Flink stiller spørgsmålene. Anders Langballe har svarene.

månedsvis har RUC stået fast på, at de har overholdt alle regler, alt imens debatten om de mange studerende fra Bangladesh har taget til i stormstyrke. I weekenden kom Mette Frederiksen med ”et helt vildt” udfald mod det gamle hippieuniversitet. Nu har RUC pludselig udskiftet deres bestyrelsesformand og lavet det ”ultimative knæfald” for statsministerens kritik. Alligevel kan de ikke være sikre på at være fri af krogen, siger panelet. Vi taler også om Venstre i Odense, hvor borgmesterkandidaten kom til at begå noget af en mailbommert lige op til kommunalvalgkampen.

Først lyder det måske som en ret almindelig sætning. Nærmest småkedelig. Men da statsminister Mette Frederiksen i weekenden udtalte de 13 ord fra talerstolen på Socialdemokratiets landsmøde, strøg de øjeblikkeligt lige så højt op på den politiske dagsorden herhjemme som Gaza, Ukraine og Donald Trump tilsammen. »Sidste år var hver sjette nye studerende på kandidaten på RUC fra Bangladesh«, sagde hun. Og tilføjede: »Altså, når man siger sætningen, så tror man jo, det er løgn«. Det er det ikke. Men der er meget forskellige meninger om, hvad slagsmålet om de mange studerende fra Bangladesh på Roskilde Universitet egentlig handler om. Har RUC – for at tjene penge – simpelthen åbnet en bagdør til Danmark og det danske arbejdsmarked for hundredvis af indvandrere – forklædt som studerende? Eller vrider Mette Frederiksen nu armen om på en uddannelsesinstitution, som sådan set har fulgt alle regler, for selv at vise fasthed i udlændingepolitikken? Og hvad går de nu og tænker på de andre danske universiteter, hvor der også er rigtig mange studerende fra Bangladesh?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this week's Talking Michigan Transportation podcast, a conversation recapping a Sept. 4 panel discussion in Lansing featuring a thoughtful discussion among experts from various fields on the need for sustainable transportation infrastructure funding and why it's such a challenge.John Peracchio, who helped organize the event and moderated the discussion, says he was pleased with the comments of the panelists but hoped for a more robust question-and-answer session that followed.Some key themes:Chad Livengood, politics editor and columnist at the Detroit News, talked about reporting when he was at Crain's Detroit on subdivisions being built in outer-ring suburbs with no sustainable source of funding for their roads.Lance Binoniemi of the Michigan Infrastructure and Transportation Association reiterated the job losses that would result from a lack of increased investment in road and bridge building.Baruch Feigenbaum of The Reason Foundation explained the long-term benefits of switching to a road user charge (RUC) system for funding roads, as some other states have piloted. He has previously talked about the topic on the podcast.Jane McCurry of Clean Fuels Michigan provided perspective on how fees on alternative-fuel vehicles contribute to the road funding mix.

Da Cristiano Ronaldos kæreste viser en gigantisk forlovelsesring frem, bliver det tydeligt, at parret lever ugift sammen i Saudi-Arabien - i strid med loven. Ronaldo har siden skiftet til Al Nassr i 2022 været anklaget for at sportsvaske regimet, men også hyldet som symbol på en mere progressiv udvikling under kronprins Mohammed bin Salman. Er han kronprinsens nyttige idiot eller en normstormer, der udvider rammerne for saudiernes liv? Fannie Agerschou-Madsen, forsker ved DIIS og RUC, fortæller om Ronaldos betydning på og udenfor banen.

Martin Galvin is the former publicity director of The Irish Northern Aid Committee, better known as "NORAID", and to many, the face of the group.A proud Irish-American, Martin joined NORAID in 1976 and, along-side his day job as a district attorney, worked tirelessly to bring awareness to the American public and political leadership about Irish republicanism and the injustices suffered by the people of Northern Ireland. He was barred from entering Northern Ireland and defied the order by sneaking in to give a speech which was violently shut-down by the RUC.Martin shares his thoughts on the IRA's campaign of violence, why he himself didn't choose to help the armed side of the conflict, how he felt when he would hear about British soldiers being k*lled , the allegations of gun-running that plagued NORAID through it's entire existence (not unjustly)  and much more.PLEASE HELP OUT THE SHOW IF YOU CAN SPARE IT..

I said earlier this week that the Government will be re-elected next year because, all things being equal, history tends to show you get two terms. Plus, the Opposition remain the same people who stuffed the place a year and a half ago and the pain of that, the closeness of that, is still real for too many of us. Unless of course they rejuvenate the party or say sorry – none of which is going to happen. This was all backed up by Treasury who, in one of their latest papers which is well worth reading, basically says the Government overspent. They were told not to overspend. And whatever spending they were doing should've been targeted and directly linked to Covid. None of that advice was followed. They sprayed money at a rate that equated to $66billion, or 20% of GDP, and when the worst was over they kept spraying. And here we are a couple of years later bogged down in their economic incompetence. The politics of it all is in full swing as Labour tried to blame the current Government for the mess. What's making that argument slightly complicated is the ongoing criticism, which is justifiable if you ask me, that for all the announcements and noise, this is a timid Government that really had licence to go for broke and they have largely chickened out. They have dabbled and poked and prodded and done some decent, common sense stuff. In just the past few weeks we've had changes to building products, garden sheds, speed limits, RUC's and NCEA. There is no shortage of bits and pieces but it's not transformational, hence the slow progress and the opening for Labour to have a crack. Labour are praying you forget all this is on them. But it is and the Treasury paper very clearly says so. They told Grant Robertson to tighten it up, to be disciplined, but socialists with majorities and egos are not for turning and so the ruinous money party was on. Writing about it doesn't fix it. But it is proof positive that this lot inherited one of the most ill-disciplined, ill-advised, arrogant, bungling, fiscal messes of the modern age and if you don't believe the National Party, believe Treasury. Labour don't have a leg to stand on. And the same people who did that to us are still there wanting you to forget and give them another crack in a years time. That is why they will not win.

Shane Jones is fast becoming my favourite politician. And he might have summed up the Government's issues with one on of his increasingly famous quips. "The Ruth Richardson bare austerity approach is not delivering the economic growth we need." He is right, isn't he? Classic liberal politics, trimming and cutting, is not the massive bomb we need under us. As Chris Bishop yesterday was offering more detail on RUC rates and a move away from petrol taxes, all of which is fine, Shane and his mate Winston were wandering around Marsden Point and talking of making it a special economic zone. It'd have tax treatment and incentives to get people to invest and do things. Marsden has got land and a port, it's close to shipping lanes, etc. Ireland has made these things famous. They cut a deal on rates, or tax, bring 'em in, stoke 'em up and watch the growth explode. Image might be a problem. Shane and Winston both come from, well, Marsden, so it's a bit nepotistic. But the idea is sound. Shane has also this week announced a massive upheaval of fishing, the biggest in decades. So it's the big stuff that we may need because the regular size stuff hasn't provided the heft we hoped for. Yes, yes, yes, they inherited a mess, we get that, but the results are what count. As ACT changed the laws around garden sheds and Nicola talks about supermarkets, it might just be ideas beyond our normal comprehension are what are actually called for. The irony of the Jones' idea is it's not part of the coalition deal. I could ask, why not? Is the Ruth Richardson line an acceptance that what they thought would work, hasn't? Another irony – I'm not sure how Shane and Winston can wander around Marsden blue-skying their way out of recession, when it's them that's holding up the foreigners from buying a house after they have invested tens of millions into the country. But credit where credit is due, Jones seems to have taken on the mantle of the arse kicker. He is where a lot of us are at. This is not a bad Government, far from it. It's perhaps just a timid Government. And with October 26 and a ballot box getting closer, maybe we need to shift it up a gear. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this week's Talking Michigan Transportation podcast, Baruch Feigenbaum of the Reason Foundation returns to talk about developments in Michigan for a road user charge (RUC) model for funding roads. The concept is also referred to as mileage-based user fees (MBUF) by some.Feigenbaum, senior managing director of transportation policy at Reason, testified June 24 at a Michigan House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee about the concept, addressing concerns about privacy and other aspects. A pilot program included in both the Gov. Whitmer's and the Senate's proposed budgets would gather feedback from residents and examine implementation strategies. 

For this episode I'm joined by a man well known ex-loyalist paramilitary and one-time leader of the Lower Shankill Road's infamous UDA (Ulster Defence Association), Johnny Adair.Johnny speaks about his growing up in Belfast during some of it's most turbulent and violent times, his lifelong friend with UDA k*ller Sam McCrory and he came to join, and later lead the Lower Shankill Road's UDA C- Company. We discussed his days as an active paramilitary, his many near brushes with death and how he viewed his opposition, the Provisional IRA and the INLA/IPLO. I asked Johnny his thoughts on C-Company's victims and whether he has any regrets looking back. We spoke about the RUC's many attempts to both jail him, which they eventually would, and to recruit him as an informant. Johnny shares his surprising thoughts on the republican hunger strikers who died in 1981, whether he himself would have been willing to do the same if called upon and what life is like for him now, living away from the city that he once saw himself a defender of.PLEASE HELP OUT THE SHOW IF YOU CAN SPARE IT..

Stand-Up to RacismIn 1972 Catholic families – who had endured three years of sustained sectarian attacks on their homes – fled Annalee St in North Belfast. Last month - fifty-three years later - Catholic homes in Annalee St. were again the target of sectarian attack and families were forced to flee. In the last fortnight we have also witnessed the firebombing of homes in Ballymena, the Larne Leisure Centre and racist attacks in other parts of the North.The images of homes in flames in Ballymena reminded me of similar scenes I first witnessed in Belfast in August 1969. The film footage of that period is of streets ablaze, frightened families hurriedly stacking furniture on lorries or carrying their most precious possessions on their backs. Then it was the racism and sectarianism of the apartheid unionist state attacking nationalist and republican families, killing residents, destroying hundreds of homes and forcing thousands to become refugees in our own city.Regrettably, the same sectarian and racist fundamentalism that motivated those attacks still exists today among some in our society who campaign against housing for Catholics, hang effigies of political leaders on bonfires and use violent rhetoric to promote hate crime against immigrants and those they define as ‘others'. That is those who are of a different religion or colour, or sexual orientation. Defending NeutralityThe Israeli rogue state has set the world on a dangerous course. Its deadly assault on Iran, allied to its violent actions in Lebanon and Syria and its genocidal war on the Palestinian people, has cast a huge shadow over the Middle East. As its military forces continue to kill scores of Palestinians daily in Gaza and its war planes attack Iran the Israeli military imposed a complete siege on the west Bank. Over a thousand military checkpoints which provide Israel with absolute control over the occupied west Bank, were completely closed imposing a siege on the Palestinian towns, villages and isolated farms of that region.As the world focusses on the exchanges between Israel and Iran the Zionists' genocidal and ethnic cleansing strategy against the Palestinian people is escalating. Those western states that have refused to challenge Israel's murder of tens of thousands of Palestinians or stand-by international law, are now defending Israel's attack on Iran using the same unacceptable excuse that Israel has the right to defend itself.Pat Finucane - End the DelayIt has been ten months since the British Secretary of State Hilary Benn first announced that he was setting up an independent inquiry into the killing of Pat Finucane under the 2005 Inquiries Act. Last week he appointed Sir Gary Hickinbottom as the Chair of the Inquiry. Hickinbottom has been given responsibility for investigating one of the most high profile examples of state collusion between loyalist death squads and British state agents and agencies during the decades of conflict.As well as Hickinbottom, former Police Ombudsman Nuala O'Loan and international human rights lawyer Francesca Del Mese have been appointed as assessors to the inquiry. Their role is to advise the Chair but they will not be involved in any final report.It has been a long difficult road for Geraldine Finucane and her family to secure this Inquiry. Twenty-four years ago the British and Irish governments agreed at Weston Park to establish public inquiries into a number of troubles-related cases.

Description: In this episode of The Interventional Endoscopist, I dive divs into one of the most impactful developments in advanced GI care: the approval of dedicated Category I CPT codes for Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD). These long-awaited codes, one for upper GI and one for lower GI, go into effect on January 1, 2027 — and could finally unlock broader access, adoption, and reimbursement for ESD in the U.S. I discuss: The clinical value of ESD and why adoption has been slow How reimbursement barriers have held the technique back What Category I CPT code approval by the AMA actually means A detailed timeline of what happens between now and 2027 The role of the RUC, CMS, and commercial payers How GI practices, hospitals, ASCs, and coders should prepare Why this could signal a tipping point for training, education, and device innovation If you're performing ESD, planning to learn, or managing coding and billing for a GI practice, this episode is your roadmap.

How is reimbursement decided? Have an inside look from the committee itself as we unpack exactly how a new CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) code is created, assessed, and ultimately valued for physician Medicare reimbursement.

Netflix-serien Adolescence er nok den mest omtalte tv-serie for tiden. Den handler om den tilsyneladende helt almindelige 13-årige dreng Jamie, som har dræbt en jævnaldrende pige. Spørgsmålet, serien rejser, er, hvorfor Jamie gjorde, som han gjorde, og hvert afsnit er en undersøgelse af, hvad der fik en helt almindelig dreng fra en helt almindelig familie til at dræbe et andet menneske. Serien handler om maskulinitet i krise - og om, hvordan denne krise kultiveres, formes og forstærkes på nettet. For hvor den analoge verden ikke har tid til drengenes frustrationer og identitetskrise, findes der fora på nettet, der har. Fora fyldt med ligesindede, der både tilbyder omsorg og radikale forklaringer. Udsyn vil - sammen med Kenneth Reinicke, lektor og mandeforsker på RUC - forsøge at udfolde, hvad det er for en identitetskrise, mange drenge og unge mænd tilsyneladende befinder sig i. Vært: Kaspar Colling Nielsen.
