Background & Context

2.1
Good Faith Estimates apply to far more practices than you think.
The No Surprises Act good-faith-estimate requirement applies to all licensed providers offering services to self-pay or uninsured patients — not just hospitals or large groups. The estimate must be provided within timeframes that vary by how far in advance the appointment is scheduled.
Why It Matters
Patient-provider dispute resolution under NSA typically defaults to the patient when the practice cannot produce a timely good-faith estimate. The penalty is the full disputed amount being struck.
2.2
The credentialing-application gap that delays revenue 60-90 days.
Three application defects routinely delay payor enrollment: incomplete work-history explanations for any gap over 30 days, a malpractice carrier-history that does not reconcile with the explanation, and CAQH attestation that has lapsed. Each forces a back-and-forth with the credentialing committee.
Why It Matters
A new clinician without active payor enrollment cannot bill for covered services for most plans. Each month of delay is foregone revenue that does not retroactively recover.
2.3
The bloodborne-pathogens plan that fails on inspection.
OSHA inspections of healthcare facilities most commonly find three violations: an Exposure Control Plan that has not been reviewed annually (date-stamped review required), engineering controls that have not been re-evaluated when new devices are introduced, and post-exposure protocols that do not match the actual reporting workflow.
Why It Matters
Each citation carries per-violation penalties, and willful or repeat designations multiply them. Re-evaluation paperwork is the cheapest control to maintain.
