Experiences with and opinions of Reimbursify
Insurance Reimbursement Software | Reimbursify - Reimbursify Reimbursify software simplifies out-of-network insurance reimbursement for practitioners and patients. Health insurance is hard. Reimbursify Makes it Easy. reimbursify.com This is an interesting idea for those of us out of network. But it also seems like it would add more daily work/hassle for a service that none of my patients have asked for or know exists. I am curious to hear others experiences. Thank you.

Transitioning commercial RFA to Medicare
There are several insurance companies that cover 3 joint bilateral RFA in my state (Cigna, UHC, and Aetna) Medicare no longer does, as we all know. I have recently seen several patients just before Medicare age (63yrs old, for example) with facets bad enough that they would benefit from 3 joint bilateral RFA and so I’ve done that for them with great results. The question is how to handle the insurance side of things 2 years later when they transition to Medicare as Medicare only covers... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)

What are free gov benefits medical students can take advantage of
I know in some states medical students can sign up for Medicaid instead of going for the student healthcare insurance plan. Anything else? I don't think medical students can be on EBT or food stamps anymore, unfortunately. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Clinical Experience or Not
So I’m working registration in the ED and I wanted to know if it’s considered clinical experience or not. I work in triage in the ED with the nurse and patient care technician. I get patients registered, give them armbands, and help them into wheelchairs sometimes. I sometimes go into the patients room to verify information about their insurance or demographic information. I go in the back to ask nurses or doctors if a patient comes to me with a question. I also help the nurses with... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Is Medicaid really that bad?
A primary care physician advised me to check the insurance demographics before moving to a location to open a practice. He said Medicaid pays very bad and you cannot make a living if you see these patients. If someone sees 50% Medicaid is it really that bad? Are 10 Medicaid equal to 5 private insurance? Is it state dependent? Thanks in advance. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Telehealth Changes?
My wife has been working remotely as a mental health therapist, but her employer has been insinuating that with the end of the Covid Emergency rules, everyone must be back in office to continue seeing patients (can do tele-health from an office location but not from a personal home location). They are stating that insurance will be requiring a publicly accessible address to be listed to be covered and as they do not want to list personal addresses of employees this means everyone must be...

"Incident-To" (Supervisory) Billing with Headway and/or Hello Alma
Hello all! I am an early-career psychologist who has been paneled with Alma for a few years. My caseload is about 50% private pay and 50% insurance (providing Telehealth services in New York State). I only accept Aetna through Alma. My question is this: Is it possible to bill Aetna (through Alma/Headway) for services provided by supervisees (psychologists or mental health counselors who are accruing hours toward licensure). Aetna allows incident-to billing (supervisory billing),... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Average Malpractice Insurance Costs?
Anyone have an idea of the average malpractice insurance costs? I am looking for an 1M/3M occurrence policy.

Improving clinic check in and other logistics....
Our clinic is fairly rural and is still registering patients with pen, paper and then manually entering it into our EMR. Of course this means the patients sit in the lobby for 45 minutes trying to figure out what meds they are taking and what their insurance is. We've started mailing out the registration forms before the consult, but of course that doesn't work if they are being seen on short notice; and half the time they wouldn't do it anyway. For those of you that are involved in the... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)
