Exodus of Medical Graduates in Arizona Stirs Concerns
| Medical schools in Arizona more than doubled their enrollment in the past decade, but most of those young doctors won't establish a practice in your neighborhood or work at a local hospital.
That is because most students who graduate from Arizona medical schools train out of state, and physicians are more likely to establish careers where they complete their residency training during those pivotal years after medical school. Read more...

By: Daniel M. Lieberman, MD
It just feels like it's harder than it should be to be a good doctor these days.
Part of the issue is definitely the changing landscape. Many of us are transitioning to an employed practice model. Healthcare continues to cost more every year while we get paid less for doing the same work. Even the hospitals - which we depend on for the care of our patients - are clearly in financial trouble due to cuts in AHCCCS enrollment. The Supreme Court may throw out legislation that will transform how we do our job every day. Unless, of course, they don't. Or unless the other political party does it first. It's reached the point that the only thing that is certain about healthcare is uncertainty. This kind of turbulence doesn't fly very well with most of us doctors.
But the real issue, in my mind, runs deeper than the uncertainty. It feels hard to practice right now because we are under attack. They keep adding insult to injury. Every time you turn around, the government, media, or even individuals seem to be questioning our integrity. Read more... |

Arizona Physician Practice to Pay $100K to HHS to Settle HIPAA Violations
|
| |
Phoenix Cardiac Surgery, P.C., of Phoenix and Prescott, Arizona, has agreed to pay the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) a $100,000 settlement and take corrective action to implement policies and procedures to safeguard to protected health information of its patients.
The settlement with the physician practice follows an extensive investigation by the HHS Office for Civil Rights (OCR) for potential violations of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) Privacy and Security Rules.
The incident giving rise to OCR's investigation was a report that the physician practice was posting clinical and surgical appointments for their patients on an Internet-based calendar that was publicly accessible. On further investigation, OCR found that Phoenix Cardiac Surgery had implemented few policies and procedures to comply with the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules, and had limited safeguards in place to protect patients' electronic protected health information (ePHI).

CMS Issues Final Rule on Provider Enrollment
|
| Providers and suppliers will soon have to include their National Provider Identifier when submitting all claims for payment from Medicare and Medicaid or when applying for enrollment in either program, according to a final rule issued by the CMS.
The rule will become effective 60 days after its April 27 publication date in the Federal Register. It finalizes an interim final rule issued May 5, 2010.
The NPI is a 10-digit identification number-required for use in HIPAA-applicable transactions-that is used for verification and to curb Medicare and Medicaid fraud and abuse. "To maintain program integrity and ensure quality, we must make certain that only qualified providers and suppliers participate in the programs and that they bill accurately for their services," the CMS said in the rule.
