I didn't realize you worked in a lab at one point, I did too! I used to run Chris Riedel's Hunter Labs billing for 10yrs. He sold to Bio-Reference after his big lawsuit victory, then I worked for Bio-Reference for the last year as they transitioned our 30+ billing staff to New Jersey. With Bio-Reference I was watching ~18K claims/day go out to insurances, plus the ERA's coming back. Lot's of connections to hospital EMR's systems, etc... I found my niche just keeping with CMS NCD's and keeping the billing modules and EMR modules synced. If we were missing a Dx for billing our billing system could ping back the doctor and through their EMR system. Stands to reason keeping the billing rules current at EMR, then encounter data wasn't allowed to pass into the billing department. https://www.vaersaware.com/my-powerpoint

I hated those PQRS ICD-10 codes back in 2018, I knew it was going to be bad like a social credit score type of thing, except a "social credit score" didn't really have a definition yet for us peasants back then, but my bones knew something like that could be coming...
