WHAT IS PHYSICIAN BOARD CERTIFICATION AND BOARD ELIGIBILITY?
Courtesy: https://lnkd.in/drrYKeT
BOARD CERTIFICATION (Boarded, Diplomate): A doctor who is board certified has pursued advanced training in his or her specialty and has passed a qualifying examination; a doctor who is board eligible has received the training but has not taken or passed the exam.
DHIMC: https://lnkd.in/e9AmEhd
BOARD ELIGIBLE: Describes a physician who is eligible to take the specialty board examination by virtue of being graduated from an approved medical school, completing a specific type and length of training, and practicing for a specified amount of time. Some HMOs and other health facilities accept board eligibility as equivalent to board certification, significant in that many managed care companies restrict referrals to physicians without certification.

FINANCIAL OPINIONS OF MEDICAL PRACTICE FAIR MARKET VALUE [FMV]

Plastic Surgery-Medical Practice Worth, Valuation, Sales & Succession Planning
For doctor-colleagues, buying or selling a practice may be the biggest financial transaction of their lives. Reasons for appraising practice worth include: sales, merger, succession, retirement and estate planning; partnership disputes and divorce; or as an important tool for organic growth and strategic planning.
DHEF: https://lnkd.in/dqdbWM9
FOREWORD: https://lnkd.in/ecwZWxu
However, the transaction is fraught with many pitfalls to avoid and no medical specialty seems immune; especially when it comes to contentious fair market value [FMV] appraisals.

WHAT IS A STOCK MARKET “SPECIALIST”?
Courtesy: https://lnkd.in/eBf-4vY
CMP® CURRICULUM: https://lnkd.in/dbAF_iY
DEFINITION: A member of a securities exchange with the essential function of maintaining a fair and orderly market, insofar as reasonably practicable, in the stocks in which he is registered as a specialist. To do this, s/he must buy and sell for his own account and risk, to a reasonable degree, when there is a temporary disparity between supply and demand. In order to equalize trends, he must buy or sell counter to the direction of the market.
DHEF: https://lnkd.in/dqdbWM9
FOREWORD: https://lnkd.in/ecwZWxu
At all times the specialist must put his customer’s interest before his own. All specialists are registered with the exchange, but are not employees of that exchange. Your thoughts are appreciated.

RED CROSS DAY
On this day in 1863, Henry Dunant founded the Red Cross, which would go onto receive the Nobel Peace Prize three times.
During the Battle of Solferino in the Franco-Austrian war, Swiss businessman Dunant was shocked to witness tens of thousands dead or wounded left on the field after just one day of fighting.
After this experience, on 17 February 1863, he decided to form the International Committee of the Red Cross in Geneva Switzerland with four other Swiss businessmen to take care of casualties and prisoners of war. In the following year, the first Geneva Convention was adopted, “for the Amelioration of the Condition of the Wounded and Sick in Armed Forces in the Field.”
The First World War was an enormous challenge for the organisation. At the outbreak of the war in 1914 medical staff from all over the world gathered to take care of the many wounded. One of them was the young Ernest Hemingway (awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature 1954), employed as an ambulance driver on the Austrian-Italian front. The experience later inspired him to write the novel ‘Farewell to Arms’.
***
Henry Dunant was awarded the first ever Nobel Peace Prize in 1901 for his humanitarian work.
The organization he founded received the prize three times.

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.

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.
