While this issue's cover story is a bit different from most here at MD News Greater Kansas, it covers an interesting topic and one that may be of concern to you, the provider. Please let me know your thoughts. Here's an excerpt: "While the 2010 AMA report card revealed less-than-favorable statistics for health insurers nationwide, the 2011 annual report card was even more disappointing. Up 2% from 2010, the claims-processing error rate is now a staggering 19.3%. The health care industry wastes billions of dollars annually to settle mishandled claims, and as a result, insurance companies increasingly delve deep into the reasons for detrimental claim mistakes." Join us for this and much more inside. Please contact me directly if you would like to become a part of our MD News community.
