How Suspecting Practices Increase Medicare Advantage Fraud Risk
By David Lareau, President and CEO, Medicomp Systems
LinkedIn: David Lareau
LinkedIn: Medicomp Systems
Medicare Advantage oversight has entered a more data-driven phase, with regulators focusing closely on how diagnoses are identified, documented, and submitted for risk adjustment. At the center of that scrutiny is the practice of “suspecting,” which involves searching patients’ medical records to identify potential undiagnosed conditions by piecing together available information, rather than through direct evaluation during a clinical encounter.

Healthcare Cybersecurity Now a Regulatory Issue, Not Just an IT Problem
By Gilda D’Incerti, CEO and Founder, PQE

Healthcare cybersecurity has typically been viewed as a technical responsibility, with security teams focused on protecting networks, securing electronic health records, and responding to ransomware incidents. Now, that framing is no longer sufficient. Cybersecurity has crossed a critical threshold in healthcare. It is increasingly recognized as a governance and compliance issue that directly affects operational continuity, patient safety, and regulatory oversight. Continue reading…

Over the past several years, much of the conversation around remote care has focused on growth. Services expanded, reimbursement evolved, and adoption increased across primary care, specialty practices, hospitals, and federally qualified health centers. In 2026, the more meaningful development is happening beneath the surface. Federal policy is moving from expanding remote care to integrating it into the structure of healthcare delivery.

Closing the Revenue Gap in Home Health: Three Critical Leaks and the Technology to Fix Them
By Matt Saucedo, Founder, ClientCare.pro
LinkedIn: Matt Saucedo
Home health agencies are losing revenue they have already earned, not from denied claims or underpayment disputes, from billing gaps that never surface on a financial statement. The problem is structural. Most home health agencies run on cash basis accounting. Revenue appears when the check arrives, not when care is delivered. When a claim fails silently, when an eligibility lapse goes undetected, when CMS quietly retires a billing code, the lost revenue never shows up as a line item. Continue reading…

The Mona Lisa, the Louvre, and the American Healthcare Waiting Room
By Dr. Nick van Terheyden aka Dr. Nick
LinkedIn: Nick van Terheyden, MD
Host of News You Can Use on Healthcare NOW Radio
If you’ve ever tried to see the Mona Lisa in person, you know the feeling: a shuffling mass of humanity, phones held aloft like ritual offerings, security guards barking orders, and a vague sense that whatever you’re looking at cannot possibly justify this level of chaos. You finally glimpse her, tiny, distant, behind glass, and think, That’s it? I almost lost a kidney for this. Continue reading…

There is a moment every Physical Therapist knows. Your patient is on the table. They are telling you something important about their pain, their progress, the thing they finally did last weekend that they hadn’t been able to do in months. And somewhere in the back of your mind, a quiet voice is already composing the note. Not fully present. Not completely there. One foot in the room, one foot already at the computer. Continue reading…

Cancer care is undergoing a structural transformation. Advances in early detection, targeted therapies, and immunotherapies have improved outcomes. According to the American Cancer Society, the five-year survival rate for all cancers combined has now reached 70%, reflecting meaningful progress in treatment and care delivery. But as treatment options expand and become more personalized, the complexity of managing those therapies is increasing as well. Continue reading…
Why AI Coding Will Keep Failing Until Someone Fixes the Clinical Input Problem

The revenue cycle management industry has spent a decade and billions of dollars building better billing engines, smarter clearinghouses, more sophisticated denial management tools, and most recently autonomous AI coders. And yet, 450 million claims are still denied every year in the United States. $125 billion in revenue is still lost annually to poor documentation. 80% of medical bills still contain errors. The problem is not getting better. It is getting more expensive to manage. Continue reading…
