Pick up any healthcare news feed or relevant state or federal initiative, and no doubt you will see the "surprise billing" issue headlining. The issue of a patient not knowing that a provider is not in their network is important, but there is another major cause of surprise bills: insurance plans denying legitimate claims for emergency care as "non-emergent." Prudent acts among patients are ignored, common sense is discarded, and ethical conduct is cast aside in order to insist that patients pay astronomical bills for services that truly constitute emergency care. These battles can take years. One such case will be discussed during this edition of Monitor Mondays; reporting our lead story will be Holly Louie, herself once an emergency department nurse.Other segments to appear on the broadcast include:Monday Focus: Bogus Charity Write-offs: The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) created a new provision in Section 501 of the Internal Revenue Code that applies to facilities licensed as hospitals under state law, with new requirements for uncompensated care.

As bands of rain and wind from Hurricane Florence are lashing North Carolina, hospitals, health systems, and physician practices are preparing for what is being called the “storm of a lifetime.” Earlier this week, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Alex Azar declared public health emergencies in North and South Carolina. Such a designation makes it easier to ensure that Medicaid and Medicare beneficiaries have access to medical care despite the storm, according to a posting on the HHS website.

Neurogenesis is the process where we create new brain cells. Many researchers believe that if someone has depression then neurogenesis is reduced. Could this in some cases even be the cause of depression? It's possible this idea could lead to the discovery of new drugs for depression, drugs which don't tackle mood, but which encourage the creation of new brain cells. Claudia Hammond brought together Timothy Powell, MRC postdoctoral research fellow, and Sandrine Thuret, Head of Neurogenesis and Mental Health, from Kings College London to examine the latest research. The Government has committed to make prisons not just places of detention, but of rehabilitation. Some prisons are hoping that yoga classes could make a difference. Research from Oxford University is beginning to suggest that yoga can help with prisoners' mental health. Claudia Hammond hears from lead researcher and psychologist Amy Bilderbeck, Sam Settle Director of the Prison Phoenix Trust and former prisoner Richard for whom yoga was to become a vital tool during his years as an inmate. This week's Insiders' Guides to mental health asks with all the guidance out there in the public domain, how do you decide what is best for you? We hear from Stephen Buckley from Mind, GP Daniel Dietch and before them Lisa Rodrigues, who's had mental health issues herself and long experience of managing services. Psychologists discovered long ago that most of us think we're better than average at most things - the Lake Wobegon Effect - and that we go round looking for information that confirms our views on life - the confirmation biases. But there's now another bias in our thinking. If we imagine a theory is our own, we think it must be true. Aiden Gregg, Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Southampton, told Claudia Hammond about his new research. Producer Adrian Washbourne.
