Coders working in urology are starting to see a new procedure code: C9761. In the latest episode of The Pulse, Calyxo explains how the code was created, how physician and facility reporting differ, and where prior authorization challenges may occur. LISTEN NOW: https://lnkd.in/geFvVwWf
Is there a clear guideline on when to use this vs existing similar procedures?
What truly drives bariatric program growth today? In this episode of Bariatric Business Accelerator, Karol Clark explains why high-performing surgical and medical weight loss programs are growing through performance — not increased marketing spend. Watch now: https://lnkd.in/e-usxbtt Today’s patients expect healthcare access to be fast, simple, and responsive. Programs that remove friction and guide patients clearly outperform those that rely on advertising alone. Inside this episode: • Why responsiveness is the new front door to your program • Ideal response times and 24/7 scheduling expectations • Conversion benchmarks from inquiry → consult → surgery • Hidden barriers that cause patient drop-off • Timeline targets that improve completion rates • How referral growth signals program strength • Why reviews, education, and physician visibility build trust • Why program performance is the new marketing advantage Growth doesn’t come from more promotion. It comes from better access, clearer guidance, and faster follow-up. 👉 Free resources: https://lnkd.in/ex9gNaXP 👉 Schedule an introductory call: https://lnkd.in/ex9gNaXP Subscribe for insights on building efficient, patient-centered, and profitable bariatric & weight loss programs. #BariatricSurgery #PracticeGrowth #MedicalWeightLoss #HealthcareLeadership #PatientExperience
🏥 How much of a patient’s recovery can we actually predict before they leave the hospital? . This is exactly what we explored in a new PREPARE-REHAB study, looking at data from 1,679 patients after hip and knee replacement. . Recovery goes (way) beyond surgery. Recovery is shaped by everyday realities. Things like age, overall health, independence, and even whether someone lives alone can influence, for instance: ⏳ how long rehabilitation takes. 🏃 where patients go after discharge. 🆘 how much support they need at home. . Understanding these patterns helps us plan care more realistically and support patients beyond the hospital, where it matters most! . Read the full article here 👇 https://lnkd.in/eKNnhz-b

I recently developed a private recovery guide designed to elevate the post-operative experience for patients undergoing cosmetic procedures. The Cottiers Method™ is built on a physician-aligned, concierge approach—integrating clinical support, advanced therapies, and a fully curated recovery environment. This includes: • RN-supported care • Lymphatic therapy coordination • Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) • Personalized nutrition oversight • Fully prepared recovery suites From pre-operative preparation to post-surgical healing, every detail is handled with precision, discretion, and care. Grateful to share this resource with leading plastic surgeons and their teams as we continue to enhance recovery outcomes and patient experience. If helpful for your patients, I would be honored to be a resource. — Wendy Cottiers Founder | The Cottiers Method™ #PostOpCare #PlasticSurgery #TheCottiersMethod
Smarter workflows don’t just improve care – they change the economics of remote monitoring. This article shows evidence on how intelligent triage reduces labor burden, improves efficiency, and lowers cost per monitored patient while preserving clinical quality. 👉 Read the article to explore the financial impact of data-driven remote monitoring. https://buff.ly/JOQ1oRC #Octagos #CardiacRemoteMonitoring #EPeeps #DigitalHealth #Cardiology #ClinicalEfficiency #HRS2026 #HRX2026 #CVTransforum
Check out this article highlighting Craig Patane, D.C, FRCms clinical outcomes after implementing #shockwave therapy and #EMTT. For clinicians focused on improving patient outcomes and expanding their non-surgical care options it is worth taking a closer look at how Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) and Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT) can be integrated into a modern continuum of care. These regenerative technologies are gaining real traction as evidence-based, non-invasive tools that offer alternatives to traditional pain management and surgical referral pathways. Key takeaways for your practice: • ESWT and EMTT work together to broaden treatment options for musculoskeletal pain and connective tissue disorders with minimal risk and no downtime. • Offering these modalities gives providers tools to help patients get back to activities they love faster without surgery or extensive recovery periods. • Integrating regenerative approaches signals to patients that your practice is focused on cutting-edge, evidence-based care rather than only traditional conservative treatments. • Investing in training for these technologies and standardizing their use in treatment protocols can support better outcomes and practice differentiation. Adding regenerative technologies like ESWT and EMTT into your care continuum is not just about offering more services. It is about rethinking the way patients are treated and providing solutions that address pain and dysfunction more holistically. Physicians and healthcare centers across the globe already using these modalities report higher patient satisfaction and better clinical results. https://lnkd.in/g5yi6uig #RegenerativeMedicine #ESWT #EMTT #ClinicalPractice #MusculoskeletalCare #NonInvasiveTreatment #PatientOutcomes
The cardiology industry is growing fast. 📈 As demand increases, practices face a major challenge behind the scenes: managing the revenue cycle efficiently. Cardiology billing is complexbetween CPT codes, prior authorizations, payer rule changes, and claim denials, it’s easy for revenue to slip through the cracks. In this video, we break down: 🔹 What cardiology revenue cycle management (RCM) includes 🔹 Why practices struggle with billing workflows 🔹 How automation and AI are improving the process When RCM runs smoothly, practices see faster reimbursements, fewer denials, and stronger cash flow. 🎥 Watch the video below. #Healthcare #Cardiology #RevenueCycleManagement #MedicalBilling #RCM
Are you evaluating a vascular management company the same way you would triage a patient? In medicine, the ABCs are non-negotiable: Airway. Breathing. Circulation. Miss one — and the outcome changes. Choosing a vascular center management partner should follow the same discipline. Too often, physicians focus on high-level promises: • Growth • Revenue optimization • Operational support But few stop to ask the foundational questions about: A — Alignment B — Business Infrastructure C — Culture & Commitment The answers to those questions determine whether a partnership becomes scalable — or stressful. If you own or operate an OBL or ASC, this framework may change how you evaluate your current structure.

This week on Save Your Thyroid, we’re taking a moment to step back and look at the "big picture" of patient advocacy. Sometimes, in the middle of researching CPT codes and clinical trials, it’s easy to lose sight of just how much the landscape of thyroid care is changing. In our latest episode, Dr. Emad Kandil shared a perspective that honestly left me a bit speechless. It’s a reminder that when patients speak up and share information, it doesn't just help one person—it changes the entire field. The "70% Factor": Knowledge is Moving Patients Dr. Kandil pointed out a staggering statistic from his own practice: over 70% of his patients travel from out of state to seek non-surgical options. When he asks how they found him, the answer is consistently the same: they did their own research and found the Save Your Thyroid community. For decades, a large thyroid nodule meant one thing: surgery. Surgeons like Dr. Kandil were trained to be "very good" at these operations, but even a "safe" surgery can leave a patient with lifelong side effects. We are now witnessing a fundamental shift—an evolution—where we can provide excellent clinical outcomes without the traditional "suffering" that often followed the blade. You are not just a "patient"; you are part of a movement that is pushing medical technology forward. By demanding options like nPulse (nsPFA) and RFA, you are helping doctors transition from a "surgery-first" mindset to a "preservation-first" reality. 👉 "We are part of evolution... things that we used to always treat with surgery... now we can actually provide good outcome without any side effects related to the surgery." — Dr. Emad Kandil Ready to be part of the change?

The prior auth trap is where urology billers get burned. C9761 is facility-only, so submitting prior auth under the physician instead of the facility is a preventable denial most teams won't catch until the claim comes back.
