18.2 - CEO note
I hope you’ve had a great start to your 2023.
Our cover this issue is about HIPAA and the changes for 2023. It’s an excellent article from Compliancy Group that provides a wealth of information, examples, and guidance on many aspects regarding HIPAA and the Privacy Rule.
Natalie Tornese from Managed Outsource Strategies has written an excellent article about the risk factors, diagnosis, and treatment for cervical dysplasia. She has provided important information for billers and coders, as well as patients—which is all of us. It’s a great read and I’m sure you will have many takeaways. As someone who has a loved one affected by cervical dysplasia, I know that awareness is so important for all ages.
Other feature articles in this issue include a look into the new dermatology codes for 2023, recent False Claim Act cases shedding light upon compliance scrutiny, coding changes that will impact radiology practices in 2023, 12 tips to grow your medical practice, the importance of selecting the right EMR and PMS software, overcoming code denials in healthcare, and an investigation into hospitals hiding prices from patients.
Steve Verno is back with a new segment that we’re calling, “Verno’s Voice.” In his article this issue, he has written about his experience with medical debt collectors throughout his life. It’s interesting to see how and why there are rules around this contentious but necessary issue.
One last thing: We’re not thrilled about it, and please know that we’ve left it as long as we could, but we must raise our prices for a 12-month subscription from $79.95 to $89.95. This is due to increased operating costs across the board that is affecting most businesses and households. I know this may come at an unfortunate time for many of you, so I would like to tell you about our LIFETIME GUARANTEE program in case you don’t already know about it or have forgotten. This guarantee means that, as long as you stay an active subscriber with BC Advantage, your yearly rate will remain the same as it was when you started your subscription with us. Key point to remember: Your subscription needs to remain active. If you let it lapse for any length of time, you will be charged the subscription rate at the time you sign up. We encourage you to take advantage of this incredible lifetime guarantee!

Until next time,

Price rise is due to increasing costs that we are all familiar with. We held out as long as we could, but we've had to raise the price for a 12-month subscription to $89.95. We will honor our commitment through our Lifetime Guarantee program and uphold those prices for qualified subscribers. We appreciate your loyalty to us!
