Texas gets a handful at TAHP
As we’ve said before - last week was a busy week for AMG-SIU. In addition to the CAHP conference, we attended the Texas Association of Health Plan (TAHP) annual conference in The Woodlands, Texas.
What did we find interesting? The focus on politics. The conference broke down both McCain and Obama’s different politics on healthcare and how it will effect our industry. Both of the candidate’s recognize the need for healthcare reform and that’s a great beginning.
One thing we hope that both candidates will employ in healthcare reform is education. We find that of the claims that come back as possible, fraud, waste, abuse or error - many of them are because the doctor, hospital, etc. didn’t have the background education on how to submit that claim properly. Education is a powerful tool, and hopefully it’s one that both candidates will wield.
