This might be something for the newsletter, just thinking out loud. Part B
News has been around a very long time, and many who contributed in the very
beginning are at / near / past retirement. When was the Part B ListServ
started?
I happened to think of this as I scale down my billing business and use my
talents as a volunteer at a local hospital. At 61, I plan to work another 9
years but will be selective on the (paid) projects. Earning a Bachelor's
Degree very late in life (60 yrs old), I know that what I have learned could
be important to the next generation of coders and compliance specialists.
It would be interesting to know what original Part B Listers are doing with
their talents and how they use it for the greater good (Linda Howrey, Jan
Rasmussen, Margaret Christ - only to name a few, I beg the pardon of others
who equally share the timeline).
For those of us who have seen the evolution of healthcare reimbursement and
compliance - from paper to computer/electronic, (and having this forum to
share) - it might be a great idea for an article.
Have a great weekend,

Good to hear from you -- as always!
That's an interesting idea. To me the listserv is like a think tank -- smart people kicking around the great questions of billing, coding, and management. I've only been at DH five years but some of my colleagues go back a good deal longer. I'll ask them if they know the origin story. There may even be an archive of the original posts somewhere.
As for making a story of it, I don't know that the management will go for that -- they're pretty hung up on news/ analysis/ guidance, and who can blame them, it pays the bills -- but maybe we can do a blogpost or something.
I didn't know you just got a bachelor's! Good job, though I can't imagine what anyone has to teach you at this point.
I'll get back to you about this.
Best,
Roy

remember. I haven't been as active due to the complexities of healthcare
management, government regulations, and the three ring circus of insurance
companies. I still lurk.

I used to subscribe to Part B while at a clinic before my AMD days.

wondered where you went! It is great to see you on the list AND part of
Decision Health!
Yes...I have been with NSFM for 12 years this month. We still use
AdvancedMD (and have been since 2005). I prefer the "old days" before AMD
was acquired by other investors, but it is still a great practice
management system!

their stories, traditions and [rich] history. Too often we get consumed
with the present and short-term future focus and neglect the valued history
that brought us to this moment in time.
Part B News has been a valued staple in my practice management career. It
has certainly complemented the various resources we all need to perform at
high levels.
