Medical billing for mental health services is more complicated than in other areas of healthcare due to the types of services, time, scope, and restraints placed on mental health treatments. For instance, if a patient visits a doctor for a routine check-up, they will almost certainly go through a standard series of tests and exams. This typically includes measuring the patient’s height and weight, taking their blood pressure, listening to their heart, and possibly drawing blood. These exams, for the most part, are standardized across all patients, take the same amount of time,…
Navigating the insurance claim can be challenging for mental health practitioners, mainly if you are into individual or small facility practice. While most large medical facilities have an entire dedicated department trained in researching, submitting, and following up on the billing and the claims, you might be ‘winging it. It is because mental health billing is more complex and complicated than other medical billing. In fact, there is a lack of uniformity in the billing process. In most medical practices, standardized tests and services are performed. However, in me…

Reboarding is the process of reintroducing employees to the workplace after they have been away for an extended period of leave, or after an organisation has experienced significant change. The goal of reboarding is to reassimilate employees back into their roles and the company culture of the organisation, whilst providing updates on new business goals, policies, and procedures. Unlike onboarding which generally p…

It is a well-known fact that without procurement, most businesses would not be able to operate. Reliable procurement management allows for projects and processes to be completed successfully, ensuring that items or services are provided on time, and at the right prices. Procurement can be a complex process, involving negotiation, building relationships and guaranteeing the timely delivery of potentially lifesaving products and services as is the case with healthcare procurement, which introduces additional challenges and req…
As most Regulatory teams know well, EMA has made some last-minute adjustments to its EU IDMP implementation plan, meaning that the Digital Application Dataset Integration Project (DADI) interface rather than FHIR will serve as the means for making data submissions - at least initially - once these become mandatory just under a year from now. To many, the move may…

An Introduction to PseudoUridines PseudoUridine (Ψ) is a post-transcriptional RNA modification that alters RNA-RNA and RNA-protein interactions and affects gene expression. PseudoUridine modification is also named "fifth base" since it is the earliest and most abundant RNA modification among the 170+ types of known RNA modifications. Messenger RNA pseudouridylation was recently discovered as a widespread and conserved phenomenon, but the mechanisms responsible for selective and regulated…
This article briefly summarizes several relatively important solutions that can greatly facilitate COVID-19 research. COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine Development Support The global outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020 caused a large amount of investment and research attention to developing preventive vaccines. Among the massive achievements made by using published genomes, mRNA vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 stand out because of their better performance in efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Currently, mRNA vaccine is publicly deemed as a very useful strategy in anti-…
What Are Phytochemicals? Phytochemicals are natural compounds that have only been discovered so far and are natural food pigments. The human body is unable to produce them and must obtain them from food. Soy isoflavones in soybeans, lycopene in tomatoes, catechins in green tea, carotenoids in carrots, zeaxanthin, polyphenols, etc., are all phytochemicals. Classification and Functions of Common Phytochemicals Flavonoids Species: Quercetin, brassin, catechin…
Introduction to protein interactions The functioning of biological systems is inextricably linked to protein-protein interactions, and important biological processes such as DNA synthesis, gene transcriptional activation, protein translation, modification and localization, and information transfer all involve the role of protein complexes. Therefore, it is particularly important to discover and verify protein-nucleic acid and protein-protein interactions in living organisms. Various techniqu…
Ceramides are composed of sphingosine analogs and long-chain fatty acids bound by amide bonds, and are the most important of the sphingolipid compounds. Ceramide is synthesized and secreted by lamellar vesicles, which together with cholesterol (25%) and free fatty acids (15%) constitu…
