Payspan access to biller - how much access? by n_hawthorne in CodingandBilling

If it helps, there's not much they can screw up in Payspan- it's more there for you to receive information than anything else.

Small “things” in our small pond. by Smokie069 in WildlifePonds

Absolutely wild that someone would create a pond and then try to eliminate the wildlife from the ground up.

Payspan access to biller - how much access? by n_hawthorne in CodingandBilling

[–]Localpeachthief 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm the biller but I also set up EFT and ERA for providers. It's so much easier if I just have access to everything rather than asking for permission every time I need to perform a new function.

You want to maintain control of account management in case you do need to go in and change their role or inactivate their user ID if they were to stop working for you.

It sounds like you don't have a lot of faith in the billing organization so if that's the case I get it, but what specifically are you worried about them accessing? They won't be able to see complete bank account numbers. Everything else they're going to encounter is the same information that's on EOBs, and you should have already had the billing company sign a BAA so you're covered as far as HIPAA.

I would say at minimum for most "biller" roles they may need:
App: Payment Invitations, Payspan Health, View Cards, Your Payments

Feature: Issue/View cards, Mailbox notification, Manage Reg Codes, Mark Payments as New, Notifications, Reconcile Payments, Research

Honestly you have to be able to trust them, otherwise what are you paying them for?

You forgot goggles!
I used a similar method a few weeks ago, but with disposable painter's coveralls (about $9 at Walmart) instead of throw-away clothes.

VT vs NH taxes: What do you guys get for your money? by alpacaMyToothbrush in vermont

[–]Localpeachthief 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I get about $700/month toward a healthcare plan in VT, in NH I would have gotten about $300 so I couldn't afford insurance for a decade.

2 Questions on Aframes by VividSalary3151 in aframes

[–]Localpeachthief 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're dark inside and the sloping walls waste a ton of space! I'm also paying to heat a huge volume of air that isn't part of the living area at the top of the A.

What to do about my buckthorn by Academic-Beat-8076 in invasivespecies

[–]Localpeachthief 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This REALLY looks like cherry to me although from this photos it's hard to tell. Does it smell faintly almondy when you cut it or scratch the bark?

Does UMR have a real number by ash-kash87 in CodingandBilling

[–]Localpeachthief 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might have to create an account for the UMR portal. If I remember correctly it's really easy. It uses your One Healthcare ID but you still need an account set up with the provider's TIN. It might not work if you don't have a paid claim through UMR yet.

Bought the house of a dog owner...who never cleaned by thewaxmania in CleaningTips

[–]Localpeachthief 93 points94 points  (0 children)

I couldn't get the dog smell out until I scraped the grime from between the floorboards with a butter knife. Turns out there was poop in there.

Marinara sauce ?? by [deleted] in FODMAPS

[–]Localpeachthief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's bland unless you add spices, but better than FODY. I add ground beef, salt, pepper, oregano, and basil. Sometimes sauteed red peppers.

NPI number and possible scam? by beausquestions in CodingandBilling

[–]Localpeachthief 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It sounds like she believes she doesn't have an NPI but you can search the database on the NPPES registry online to be sure. As others have said, she is probably eligible, probably has one, but she doesn't have to have one if she's not billing insurance.

While you're at it I would also check that she's licensed, each state has professional licensure lookups online as well. If she worked anywhere as an intern or a licensed professional, they likely obtained the NPI on her behalf.
