There are thousands of job boards to choose from and then there are the profiles you have on professional networking sites that need to be updated (LinkedIn, Plaxo, etc…). This is just the beginning. If you sign up for all of these resources, they need cultivation and frequent maintenance (plus, you need to remember the user names and passwords for them all).  read more (Source: Healthcare IT News Blog) Healthcare IT News Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=5096463 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 12:32:03 +0100 5096463 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=4167961&cid=t_424992_87_f&fid=39187&url=http%3A%2F%2Fgetbetterhealth.com%2Froadmap-for-new-physicians-how-to-avoid-fraud-and-abuse%2F2010.11.15 In October, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) issued a report on Fraud and Abuse Training in Medical Education, finding that 44 percent of medical schools reported giving some instruction in the anti-kickback statute and related laws, even though they weren’t legally required to do so. (As an aside, do we really live in such a nanny state? Over half of all medical schools don’t teach their students anything about this issue — because nobody’s making them — even though it is an issue that looms large in the practice of medicine.) On a more positive note, about two-thirds of institutions with residency programs instruct participants on the law, and 90 percent of all medical schools and training programs expressed an interest in having dsome instructional...

Yet, many patients need financing! For years, dental consultants have advised dentists to stop “being the bank.” With companies like CareCredit, CapitalOne, CitiHealth, and Chase offering low- and no-interest financing options, life has become a little easier for dentists. Some financing companies have come and gone - Unicorn was bought out by Chase and Dental Fee Plan is now CapitalOne. However, CareCredit recently added its 100,000th practice to the clients it serves. And did you know that the CareCredit website gets up to 350,000 visits per day?  In “Smart Buys,” a column featured in DentalTown Magazine, Dr. Louis Malcmacher tells us that people w... dental blog for dentists about dentistry blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1990574 Tue, 25 Nov 2008 15:35:49 +0100 1990574 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1674790&cid=t_424992_125_f&fid=34820&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dentalblogs.com%2Farchives%2Fadministrator%2F55-of-responding-dentists-have-partially-or-fully-stopped-taking-insurance%2F At the WealthyDentist.com, a recent survey reveals that over half of the dentists who responded have completely or partially stopped accepting dental insurance. The 44% who claim that they only partially work with insurance companies may mean that they are not in network with any insurance company, but they will file claims as a courtesy. They may or may not accept the patient’s copay or deductible. For some dentists, rejecting insurance would put the kiss of death on their practice. Particularly in rural areas, general dentists must accept insurance if they are to sustain a business. However, in more affluent areas, patients may have the liquid funds to pay up front fees or to opt out of dental insurance altogether. Furthermore, cosmetics are not covered by insurance.

The company has been around for two decades, and CareCredit financing has helped more than seven million patients on this continent. Why is it the leader in patient financing? Convenience, most likely. CareCredit makes application easy for patients and the dental team. Having a simple financing option for patients – especially one that offers no-interest and low-interest long-term loans, only increases case acceptance. It’s a win-win…win! Many other financing institutions assist dental patients.
