A Shift in Perception Transforms Reality
Posted on January 9, 2021 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™
Reality Check Ahead
By Vitaliy Katsenelson CFA,
“When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love …”
-Marcus Aurelius
***
As I look at 2020, I have very conflicting feelings. On one hand, the year was horribly tragic for many people who lost loved ones and businesses. My heart goes out to the nearly two million people worldwide who have lost their lives to COVID and their grieving families, and to the tens of millions in this country now suffering from economic hardship.
On the other hand, the worst that many people, including me, have suffered from this virus, has been annoying inconvenience. Thankfully, almost all my relatives and friends are in this category. Yes, we cannot see our extended family and friends; yes, we have not been able to travel or go to concerts or sporting events. The events of last year led me to an important personal, philosophical breakthrough. This was the year that I embraced Stoic philosophy.

The Biden Administration has put forth their healthcare plan, which seeks to expand access to affordable healthcare with the following:
***
***
(1) upholding and expanding the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), to reduce the amount that consumers pay for health insurance on the individual marketplace; (2) offering a new, public insurance option similar to Medicare; (3) prohibiting the practice of “surprise billing”; (4) leveraging the Department of Justice’s (DOJ’s) and Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC’s) antitrust authority to target market concentration within the healthcare system; and, (5) driving down prescription drug prices by increasing competition for, and regulation, of pharmaceutical companies.

Attention Texas Dental Patients
Posted on December 24, 2020 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™
Attention Texas Dental Patients
[You should read this]
Darrell K. Pruitt DDS
***
At a uniquely critical time in history, as dentists strive to keep their patients out of emergency rooms, pharmacists here in Fort Worth are telling dentists that the Texas State Board of Pharmacy has outlawed paper prescriptions – even for antibiotics.
***
According to three local pharmacists, on January 1, 2021 many dentists – including myself – will no longer be allowed to prescribe medications without digital records, no matter the urgency. As a dentist, I neither need nor want digital records, and as a patient, you shouldn’t either. Let me show you third-party nonsense which does NOTHING to improve patient care.
***
According to Protenus Breach Barometer, between April and June of 2017, 142 healthcare data breaches were reported, impacting 3.14 million records. 23 of the incidents involved paper, affecting 158,711 records. 158,711 divided by 3,140,000 = 5%.
***
***
This means that if your dentist put your identifying information on a computer, you had a 95% greater chance of medical identity theft than if your paper records were stored in a metal filing cabinet. In the last three years, the breaches have only worsened, cyber-crime is growing stronger every day, and most importantly, there are no solutions on the horizon. I ask you, why should any healthcare provider be forced by the state to knowingly risk Texans’ welfare?
***
Electronic dental records – both cloud-based and premises-based – are not only increasingly more expensive and increasingly more dangerous than paper for both dentists and patients, but they offer patients NO TANGIBLE BENEFITS over paper.
Just ask anyone.
***
But there’s more. Electronic dental records (which do nothing to improve care) also require far more training and specialized expertise than the working knowledge of alphabetical order required for filing charts in their correct place. Dental EHRs are first and foremost billing tools which not only shift the high cost of data entry from insurers back to dentists (read “patients”), but enable the really clever CEOs to control treatment decisions by employing strategic complexities for payment. All that digital offers dentists is convenience – expensive, dangerous convenience.
***
If Texans knew the truth, many would naturally prefer paper dental records. The business of dentistry is simply not so complicated that it requires computerization. After all, a dentist bills for treatments involving only the lower 1/3 of the face, and because dentistry involves intricate handwork, dentists can only safely treat a dozen or so patients a day – compared to 40 or more for physicians.
***
Very large, successful dental practices have thrived without computers for decades, while their patients enjoy the gold standard of security: Loud, heavy and cumbersome sheet metal filing cabinets.
***
***
Assessment
***
Let’s face it. Electronic dental records will never protect patients from identity theft as well as paper. CVS, Walgreens and Albertson’s as examples, simply don’t care. Surprised?
***

The “Cytokine” Storm [hypercytokinemia]?
Posted on December 4, 2020 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™
Hypercytokinemia and Covid-19
By staff reporters
A cytokine storm, also called hypercytokinemia, is a physiological reaction in humans and other animals in which the innate immune system causes an uncontrolled and excessive release of pro-inflammatory signaling molecules called cytokines.
Normally, cytokines are part of the body’s immune response to infection, but their sudden release in large quantities can cause multisystem organ failure and death.
Cytokine storms can be caused by a number of infectious and non-infectious etiologies, especially viral respiratory infections such as H5N1 influenza, SARS-CoV-1, and SARS-CoV-2. Other causative agents include the Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, and group A streptococcus, and non-infectious conditions such as graft-versus-host disease.

What Up – the PPI?
Posted on December 1, 2020 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™
EXACTLY WHAT IS THE PRODUCER PRICE INDEX [PPI]?
Courtesy: https://lnkd.in/eBf-4vY
ECONOMICS INFORMATION FOR PHYSICIAN COLLEAGUES
Web: https://lnkd.in/eVGcji5
DEFINITION: The PPI is a group of indexes that measure the change, over time, in the prices received by domestic producers of goods and services. It measures price changes from the perspective of the seller rather than the consumer, as with the CPI. The CPI would include imported goods, while the PPI is relevant to U.S. producers, and therefore would not include imports.
The PPI measures over 10,000 products and services. It reports the price changes prior to the retail level. This information is useful to the government in formulating fiscal and monetary policies. The data gathered from the PPI is often used in escalating purchase and sales contracts. That is the dollar amount to be paid at some time in the future.
NOTE: Long-term managed medical care contracts of the future will seek escalation clauses for increases in prices.

CMS Final Rule Brings Transparency to Healthcare Industry
Posted on November 29, 2020 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™
Healthcare Transparency
By Health Capital Consultants, LLC
On October 29, 2020, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released the Transparency in Coverage final rule. This long-anticipated final rule stems from President Donald Trump’s June 2019 executive order on “Improving Price and Quality Transparency” and builds upon the hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) price transparency requirements released in November 2019.
These requirements came under fire in a lawsuit filed by the American Hospital Association (AHA), Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), Children’s Hospital Association (CHA), and Federation of American Hospitals (FAH), against the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS); the requirements were upheld by the courts in June 2020 and the lawsuit is being appealed by the plaintiffs.

2021 Prescription Drug Payment Model from HHS
Posted on November 24, 2020 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™
Administration Announces Prescription Drug Payment Model
***
By staff reporters
***
HHS Secretary Alex Azar has announced a drug payment model through the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services that will lower Medicare Part B payments for certain drugs to the lowest price for similar countries and save American taxpayers and beneficiaries more than $85 billion over seven years.
***
***
Starting in January, the model, known as the Most Favored Nation (MFN) Model, will test an innovative way for Medicare to pay no more for high cost, physician-administered Medicare Part B drugs than the lowest price charged in other similar countries.
***
Following the President’s recent Executive Orders to lower drug prices and improve access to life-saving medications, the MFN Model will protect current beneficiary access to Medicare Part B drugs, make them more affordable, and address the disparity of drug costs between the U.S. and other countries.

PATTERNS OF MEDICAL RISKS
Posted on November 21, 2020 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™
PATTERNS OF PRACTICE RISKS
One of the next big areas of risk that will surface in the near future is the Pattern of Practice Risk.
Pattern of Practice refers to the way that a particular physician practices medicine. With computers, eHRs, standardized diagnosis and treatment codes, and the budgetary restraints inherent in medical practice, it is becoming easy to analyze a physician’s method of practice.
The treatment and diagnosis codes that a physician uses and submits to third party payers can be quantified and compared colleagues in the same or similar specialties. Statistical outliers can be identified. These outliers will then be further audited and required to justify their treatments. If no rational basis exists for the statistical differences, the outlier may find himself the subject of a fraud investigation.

By Health Capital Consultants, LLC
***
The second installment in this five-part Health Capital Topics series on the valuation of telemedicine will focus on the reimbursement environment for telemedicine.
***
Telemedicine is reimbursed based on the services provided through this medium and includes many restrictions on where, how, and by whom services can be conducted. The first installment in this series introduced telemedicine and its increasing importance to, and popularity among, providers and patients. It also discussed the current and future challenges related to telemedicine, many of which hinge upon reimbursement restrictions and regulations. (Read more…)
