Poll: Rep Retirement Lodge 204: Covid 19

....and now the spammers are back. Yay!

I see quite a few places near the downtown Hopkins area, when I head down that way. I have no idea on the price, similar size of homes compared to yours, but might be worth checking out.

Yeah we’ve been on top of those as they pop up. So has everyone else. They are usually either affordable and a crap hole, or very nice and out of our budget. Surprisingly, either one goes quickly.

Well, we went back and forth with the sellers of the StLP place, looked at it again, and wound up offering the asking price. Pending inspections and appraisal and all that jazz we’ll be moving to St. Louis Park in February. Didn’t really plan on going up to asking, but it feels like I win in this market. Everything we were in on went for well above.

You're savvy, and patient, which is what is needed in this market. I hope it all works out, man!

Good Morning Lodge!

Last day of this Clinical group. They are my favorite group- no whining.

That's been my whole week. Sucks like Basketball.

Work is bonkers here. Frantically getting the COVID vaccine prep done and also working on implementing a new integrated telehealth video client. Also a new system downtime application. And changes to the CPT codes we use to bill (good ol CPT 99201 is going the way of the dodo). And a new process for documenting procedures that had to be stopped for whatever reason (so that it triggers all the re-scheduling workflow again). And a new interface with a local community health organization.

Probably like 10 more too.

Excellent time to change CPT codes. Who in their right mind changes stuff like that in the middle of an all hands on deck crisis? (Rhetorical question)

2 Clinicals finished. One left.

Training hundreds of providers - now, while half of them are doing this from home - on how to navigate the even-more-complex alchemy that is medical billing is positively asinine to me. I put off much of the work hoping that it would be delayed but here we are 28 days from the changes and it hasn't been delayed (and apparently, absolutely won't be).

It's ridiculous.

Oh, I forgot. We're also required to document social determinants of health in rather substantial detail now. Adherence is going to be... "problematic".

Rather than think about this I will just be thankful I got out. Medicine is no longer medicine. It is business and that model is doomed to fail. The pandemic should just hasten the process.
