📅 Upcoming CDI Roundtable
Query compliance is more important than ever. Join our CDI experts on September 16th at 12:00 PM ET for Are Your Queries Compliant? Insights from Real World Query Audits. We'll explore findings from real world query audits, discuss common compliance pitfalls, and share practical strategies to strengthen query quality, improve physician communication, and reduce audit risk. All attendees will receive 1 free ACDIS CEU.
A short window of senior health IT capacity just opened.
Our Healthcare IT Operations & Consulting team brings program and project managers, health IT specialists, and revenue cycle consultants who have run these initiatives before: Epic and Oracle Health go-lives, legacy decommissioning, testing and integration, application and ERP support.
A limited number of these consultants come available in the next few weeks. If you have a major initiative landing in Q4 or early 2027, now is the time to lock in the team.

🤖 AI, Prior Authorization & the Push for Physician Oversight
As AI becomes more involved in prior authorization, new federal legislation aims to ensure technology does not become the final decision maker when care is denied. The AMA-backed proposal would require physician review of AI-assisted Medicare Advantage denials and establish additional oversight around how health plans use automated decision-making.

📉 CMS Proposal Could Dramatically Cut Remote Patient Monitoring Reimbursement
A provision in the proposed CY 2027 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule could significantly reduce reimbursement associated with remote patient monitoring devices. While much of the attention surrounding the proposed rule has focused elsewhere, the potential payment reductions could have major implications for practices using RPM and other connected-care models.

💰 Medicare Advantage Copay Changes Are Creating New Revenue Cycle Challenges
Changes in how Medicare Advantage cost sharing is being interpreted are making it increasingly difficult for physician practices to collect copays at the point of service. Practices may instead have to wait for claims adjudication before determining patient responsibility, creating additional administrative work, delayed collections, and greater bad-debt risk.
