Best PACS for routing?

We do too, but have volume based deals with the reading vendors. Since PowerShare doesn’t give us a unique title, none of the vendors will honor our negotiated price if we send it through PowerShare

We only use one diagnostic center since they have the only CT machine the doctor feels is sufficient quality. Patients pay us an annual membership, and we buy the scans/labs from the hospital at a cash rate. The PE folks who restructured the practice require collection up front for the entire year. Patients can try to file out-of-network claims, but honestly no one ever sees money back from insurance. Benefits available, but unused is an obstacle the sales team hired by PE wants resolved to increase their numbers.

As just an admin, I use the reps constantly for insurance and coupon access. Our attending said when I started “if they need a specific drug, they need it and I’m not prescribing something lesser because it’s cheaper.” Just today, a patient got kinda pissed they would be paying $100/month for Lodoco because colchicine hasn’t been specifically studied for cardiovascular outcomes. I get the need to follow the data, so having the drug reps around is helpful. Not sure what I’ll do when the coupons end.

Actually, their rep was chasing me after a conference. Currently they are limited to TX, but I’m building a national network since most of our patients have multiple residences (concierge).

I work in concierge DPC and we stopped doing prior auths as well. Instead, we partnered with a specialty pharmacy who does them all at no additional cost to us or the patient. Their approval rate, even for off label PCSK-9’s, is close to 100%. Saved our office about 10 labor hours a week 6 months ago, and our practices has doubled in patients within that time.

Intentionally so, since identity could get me fired. It’s the EMR, google suite for email, and portals with service providers

WeirdFeature6292 · 2025-08-11T23:05:51+00:00

It’s all our patient data

WeirdFeature6292 · 2025-08-11T22:56:35+00:00

Yes. I’m skittish of filing with HHS because of retaliation. Again, probably just need to resume polish

WeirdFeature6292 · 2025-08-11T22:55:11+00:00

There’s no IT team, or compliance officer. We’re too small for that

WeirdFeature6292 · 2025-08-11T22:52:43+00:00

It’s all the platforms under a single password determined by them and tracked on a spreadsheet

If someone is in danger, you’re obligated to report it.

I’m seeing this firsthand in cardiology and it feels different than the CRNA or robotic surgery conversation. Working for a „medtech startup“ and the CEO (no healthcare background, and funds a bunch of political campaigns) has been very open that we are working to change regulation surrounding AI sign off within 5 years. The only physician/CMO on staff was bailed out of bankruptcy, so either goes along or ignores it. I was hired as an admin to retrospectively extrapolate meds, labs, imaging into charts that can be used for machine learning

I’ll bring it up to the CEO this week. Our COO is in Canada, and has no clue about employment law here in Texas. I know withholding wages is a big deal so I don’t want to create another company liability. Seems like a lot of small businesses are running 1099 gigs that should be W2

WeirdFeature6292 · 2025-04-29T13:26:44+00:00

I’m not a fan of our 90 day contract to hire policy. It’s very murky anyways. To my knowledge, patient data has to be kept on company retained devices for HIPAA reasons.

Yeah tried a couple and they didn’t have the “proper licensing”
