We Remember. We Honor. We Reflect. On this day, we pause to honor the lives lost, the heroes who emerged, and the resilience of a nation united in strength. September 11, 2001, is etched in our hearts, reminding us of the courage and sacrifice shown by so many in the face of unimaginable tragedy. Let us take a moment today to remember those who were taken from us, to honor the first responders, healthcare workers, and everyday citizens who risked everything to help others, and to reflect on the resilience of our communities in times of great challenge. May we never forget the importance of compassion, unity, and service to one another. 🕊️ #NeverForget #September11 #HonorAndRemember #Resilience #Community

🚨 CFPB Proposed Rule on Medical Debt Reporting: What Does It Mean for Healthcare Providers? 🚨 NCHFMA members and healthcare community, let's talk about the CFPB's proposed rule to halt credit reporting of medical debt. Although this proposal was announced in June, its potential impact on our industry is still unfolding and warrants a closer look. 🏥 The proposed changes could decrease the liquidation rates of medical accounts reported to collection agencies by over 10%, according to a recent analysis. This might sound like a win for consumer protection, but what could it mean for hospitals and other healthcare providers? Could this lead to more stringent upfront payment policies or challenges in assessing financial assistance? We want to hear from YOU! How do you foresee these changes affecting your organization's billing and collection practices? Will this rule help or hinder your ability to provide care and manage finances? Share your insights and experiences in the comments below! 💬👇 Let’s keep this conversation going and explore how we can collectively navigate these proposed changes. #HealthcareFinance #MedicalDebt #CFPB #NCHFMA [Read the full article from Nick Hut, Author at Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA) for a detailed analysis and join the discussion!] Link: https://lnkd.in/gq8NMqq8
