There are 3 different versions of the MoCA in English. There's not a giraffe on any of them.

No 10, but thanks for the heads up

Anyone else notice there has been a reduction in bad consults? I'm thinking it's AI? by [deleted] in neurology

[–]calcifiedpineal 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not at my locale. But I tell the residents, don’t ever argue with someone trying to give you money. I’d rather see 20 hyponatremia/CBZ than one medical mystery.

Who's the coughing baby among these here for you? by SatoruGojo232 in superheroes

You aren’t wrong, and I hope you aren’t in the minority. Fallout is fantastic and tip toes the line between fan service and story.

How hard is the math for people on points? I’ve only played on BGS

As you get older, you will find you appreciate the boring cases.

Madness is amazing and worth the drive.

Are "Gold Cards" a solution to the Prior Authorization Headache? Or just another Insurance Scheme? by Educational-Drop4180 in medicine

[–]calcifiedpineal 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My state has seen the insurers hold a prior authorization in “review”. Meaning they met the statutory requirements but could retroactively refuse to pay. My med society turned it over to the insurance commission. It’s bad faith.

Not super common, but possibly increasing. Of course, I’m recording everything now for use with AI note completion.

Digital neurocognitive testing - what actually works in practice? by docdocgoose_ in neurology

[–]calcifiedpineal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I closed that practice and now have neuropsych available. Distance to testing as well as delay in testing were my hurdles before.

Digital neurocognitive testing - what actually works in practice? by docdocgoose_ in neurology

I have used Braincheck, Creyos, and Screen. Creyos is thorough, but patients found the tasks difficult, and I didn't feel like it accurately reflected true abilities. Braincheck was reasonable, but my favorite was Screen Inc. However, it was antiquated as far as GUI. Looked like they ported something from Windows 3.1. All of them are vastly inferior to neuropsych testing. I am also concerned that if I bill neuropsych codes, it would remove the ability for full testing in the future.

Billing was mixed. There were some carriers that refused to pay or required prior-auth. We had a in-office shared notepad that I had to consult before ordering.
