We have a company mail, fax, and phone room that receives thousands of pages a day that now sorts, categorizes, and extracts useful information from them all in a completely automated way by LLMs. Several FTEs have been reassigned elsewhere as a result.

The JWT cost more both in dollars and time than the Manhattan Project.

What compact camera do you use?

It’s terrible to implement at the business and industry level - the required details enclosed with the messages are wholly insufficient to properly communicate claims as well as claim payments between payers and providers. Yet nothing can be done as the law requires its usage.

New York is a no fault state. Billing those NF3 claims almost always requires going to arbitration. It’s a terrible arrangement.

Nah prior auths (prepay) can get screwed up just as much as claims (postpay) for the same reason.

ICD10 is not the problem - x12 is.

No. The specification mandated by HIPAA law is x12 837 and 835 documents. They are awful.

It is a terrible specification that causes all kinds of problems but is one mandated by law and must be used.

These companies exist for out-of-network billing. Unnecessary for in-network billing.

That is because you likely went to a provider with a competent billing department. If you go to one with a bad one you will get results like OP. It does not matter if your employer was self funded or if you got the plan over the marketplace. The claim simply will not adjudicate correctly.

If the visit is in-network or an emergency the insurance company will prevent the practice from billing you anything until the denial is fixed. You don’t have to do anything other than throw the letter away and just wait for them to fix it.

If the practice tries to bill you anyway that’s called balance billing, is illegal, and violates their contract with your insurance company and you can call your insurance’s hotline to report them.

Medicare/medicaid denies for medical necessity all the time.

Nine times out of ten it’s because the provider did not document or code it correctly when they billed your insurance.

Of course the insurance companies always get the heat but it’s probably the minimum wage biller at the office that justified the bone set with an incorrect urinary tract infection diagnosis code that will obviously get denied.

In the future it’s useful to call the provider and ask for a copy of what they submitted to your insurance.

Android had lockdown mode but it has to be enabled.

Southwest Airlines still does not charge a bag fee.

Yes but it isn’t a recent development. They’ve been blocking ExpressVPN IPs for the past year or so.

You don’t understand why companies build stuff to save other companies money?

And solar flare based weapons systems.

They don’t want a litigious bad mouthing customer onboard so they fired them. It’s a story as old as time that happens daily.

My mailman refuses to take my stamped envelopes out of my mailbox. Can't be bothered.

It is typical in the health insurance billing world where the check is sent separately from the explanation of benefits which details how they are paying for everything. You may get a random check in the mail that is paying for claims described in a separate letter or fax you received weeks earlier.

I ran my info through the scanner and it said it found hundreds of matches. I looked through them and exactly 0 of them were me. Trash.

I wouldn't blindly trust what a lawyer says either so there's no difference there.

It's Boeing's job to stop the line but they didn't as the whistleblower mentioned:

"As a result, this check job that should find minimal defects has in the past 365 calendar days recorded 392 nonconforming findings on 737 mid fuselage door installations (so both actual doors for the high density configs, and plugs like the one that blew out). That is a hideously high and very alarming number, and if our quality system on 737 was healthy, it would have stopped the line and driven the issue back to supplier after the first few instances."

Kayak can arrange your car, hotel, etc. Google only does flights.

The US government has mandated that vehicles be large due to CAFE regulations.

It will be equally easy for ChatGPT to rewrite copyrighted content that makes the output materially different for a copyright claim to succeed also.

What if they OCR’d the newspapers? No ToS there.
