Background & Context
3 stories
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
How MIPS cost-category math actually works.
The MIPS cost performance category is calculated retrospectively by CMS using attributed Medicare claims; clinicians cannot directly affect what is attributed. The two attribution methods (TPCC and MSPB) capture different beneficiary cohorts. Practices that try to "manage" cost without understanding which patients are attributed to which clinician typically waste effort.
Why It Matters
Cost is now 30% of the MIPS final score — the largest single category. Misunderstanding attribution is the leading cause of unfavorable payment adjustments in the next cycle.
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.
