?? Healthcare Transparency & AI in Insurance – NC Senate Takes Action! ?? North Carolina lawmakers are making bold moves to crack down on surprise billing and regulate AI in health insurance with Senate Bills 316 & 315. These bills aim to: ? Ensure patients know the costs of medical procedures upfront ? Require clear, itemized bills before collections ? Prevent AI from being the sole decision-maker in insurance claim denials ? Improve fairness in appeals by requiring independent, licensed doctors to review denials While these efforts could lead to greater transparency and cost control, enforcement remains a key question. How will hospitals and insurers adapt? ??

?? March 21st is Common Courtesy Day! ?? In the world of healthcare finance, we know that small acts of courtesy can make a BIG impact. Whether it’s a warm greeting at check-in, a prompt response to a provider’s question, or simply saying “thank you”—the way we treat others speaks volumes about who we are. Fun fact: The word curtsey (yes, the bow of respect) dates back to the late 1600s! While we’re not asking you to bow to your coworkers today, a little extra kindness can go a long way. After all, what goes around, comes around! So, let’s celebrate by spreading positivity—drop a ?? shoutout in the comments to someone who made your day better! #NCHFMA #CommonCourtesyDay #KindnessCounts #WhatGoesAroundComesAround
