| PRACTICE MANAGEMENT TIP OF THE DAY | |
10 Things Every Practice Should Know About AI in Medical Practice
For physicians trying to separate the useful from the overhyped, the landscape of AI can feel overwhelming. These 10 points can help physicians navigate AI on their own terms.
10: The regulatory environment is still catching up, and physicians have a stake in shaping it.
The Food and Drug Administration, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and Congress are all actively developing frameworks for AI in healthcare, with new guidance and proposed rules appearing regularly. The American Medical Association has been pushing for national standards around transparency, bias mitigation, and the appropriate apportionment of physician liability for AI errors. Staying informed on the regulatory landscape and engaging through your specialty society when comment periods open matters for the long-term trajectory of how AI gets used in medicine.

10 Financial To-Do's for Spring
Spring is a great time to check in with your finances to make sure everything is in good order. Completing these 10 tasks might seem like a lot of work, but the payoffs are worth it.
8. Review your account beneficiaries
It's always good to review the beneficiaries for your investment and retirement accounts to make sure this money will go to the people you want to receive it. If you don't designate beneficiaries for these accounts, these assets will go to your estate, where they could be held up in probate for months or years.
Designated beneficiaries will inherit assets in these accounts even if your will specifies that heirs who aren't beneficiaries should inherit your wealth. That's why it's particularly important to replace beneficiaries — such as an ex-spouse — you no longer wish to inherit these accounts.

| CODING & BILLING Q&As FROM CODINGHELPLINE.COM | |
Query: CPT 11730 vs. 10060?
When performing a partial nail avulsion and a small abscess is encountered upon removal of the offending nail border, which is then evacuated, irrigated/cleansed and dressed, would that qualify as a 10060 instead of 11730?
Codinghelpline com Subscriber
Response from Codinghelpline.com: If the intent is the incision and drainage, then the nail issue is secondary. An easy way to check is to compare the 2 CPT codes in the NCCI edit solutions, so always check the NCCI edits. For your existing paronychia issue, which the patient presents for and you perform an incision and drainage of the paronychia, by whatever means you chose to address the primary reason for the services, you can't bill both on the same toe anatomically as the 11730 is column 2 to the column 1 code 10060. I do not recommend billing both of them together in your example.

| RESPONSES/COMMENTS (AI AND PODIATRY) | |
From: Bryan C. Markinson, DPM
Dr. Steinberg asks: "Then, as far as you are concerned, are striving for a plenary license and practicing podiatry mutually exclusive? Can't you see any value? What about the general public not seeing any value in attending podiatry college?"
My response is: Of course, I think a plenary license backed by the education to support it is of extreme value and as many have asserted, may be the only option soon enough. However, if anyone applying to whatever program in the future would offer this opportunity, they will find themselves sitting side-by-side with classmates taking the exact same exams, same labs, subject to the same performance measures, same board requirements prior to graduation from the "program." But the door that opens after that is the wide world of medical specialties that offer residency and...

"Would you rather be fitted for an arch support at the Good Feet store that costs $1,000 from someone who had a 1-day training session, or a custom-made orthotic from a podiatrist who has 11-12 years of training in biomechanics of the lower extremity? The choice is yours. Choose a podiatrist!
