I think it's a problem that we made science cool. "I solved a math problem" should have stayed a dorky activity we get bullied for genuinely liking instead of becoming a status symbol that vacuous people who have no interest in math use flex.

These Doritos taste like I should play Fable 2

when they close it all up, I do believe this will go down as the funniest video on the internet

Grok telling Elon it made a new discovery:

Basallo up this year you think? Just service time stuff?

I mean historically presidents have given perspective on rates it’s just not covered as much because they’re usually not calling the fed chair a dip shit and saying they’re thinking about firing him (or Janet Yellen)

These orcas have been trying to feed people, new research shows Orcas in four oceans have been documented offering food to people, according to new research.

“In each of the instances recorded over two decades, orcas approached a person within a length of the orca’s body, and dropped freshly-hunted prey in front of the human, then waited for a response…”

Did you check the break room

Had a package shipped from Brooklyn to Philly a couple weeks ago. Not sure what they’re doing out there but they’re not doin it very well lol

My Couples Retreat With 3 AI Chatbots and the Humans Who Love Them I found people in serious relationships with AI partners and planned a weekend getaway for them at a remote Airbnb. We barely survived.

Sure, you've read about people falling in love with AI. This story takes that to a whole new level...and is hilarious, thoughtful, and dystopian, all at the same time.

It's hard to pick a fave character, but gonna go with Eva, an absolute chaos monster of AI romance.

What’s his ceiling? I liked his first outing but was a complete unknown to me. Could he be a real back of the rotation guy or just spot starts?

😭

Some personal news: I’ve paused the car factory I started building yesterday.

Now is the time of animal spirits

Lmao I didn’t even see your avi

[Savoir Faire - Medium: Failure]

Wrote an essay in response to a dummy’s YouTube comment. I think at my age they should prescribe ambien for this

The Gaetz one is so funny

He is so full of shit

Preauth is its own beast — if it’s a late auth it’s high prob of overturn, if no auth there are args but they basically turn into low probability med nec denials unless like the provider had the wrong ins info up front. A lot of this boils down to CBO prioritization though — timeliness is important

N=~650k, gut estimate is that 45-60% of denied claims for med nec are overturned once med recs provided, and close to 90% of billing issues with 10% being timeliness.

Yea I have no idea on the first question but healthcare administrative bloat is an industry in and of itself directly resulting from the strategic games insurers and CBOs have been playing with each other for decades. Everyone loses

In-network contracts typically include a clause stipulating that members can’t be pursued for unpaid claims balances that aren’t part of the patient liability, so this isn’t totally surprising. Hospitals will typically work with insurers directly (or thru a vendor) to overturn denials

So hospitals end up with absolutely bonkers open AR and the only way they have any expectation of recouping is by selling it at a steeeeep discount, discounting it themselves, or basically acting like loan sharks

(Because in-network insurers have contracts that say how much they’ll pay for each service and those are typically only adjusted every year or every other year with COLAs)

A kinda important part of this is that the price increases generally only apply to uninsured patients or OON contracts (which often don’t bother to pay the inflated rates either, settling for “UC” rates).

That authorization process is one we should not be asking ins comps to do. That role should be performed by INDEPENDENT TPAs. With zero economic incentive to approve or deny.

The first step is for self insured entities to use 3rd party TPAs and move away from insurance companies for this service

First of all, I didn’t “karate chop” your baby. We were sparring
