Welcome solo and group practice owners! We are Liath Dalton and Evan Dumas, your co-hosts of Group Practice Tech.

In our latest episode, we have an important update for practice owners who bill insurance.

We discuss:

• Why the change from CAQH to DataSpring is not just an administrative rebrand, as DataSpring is trying to position it
• Why this change is a big deal for practice owners who bill insurance
• The action steps recommended by The Group Practice Exchange
• Additional PCT-recommended action steps
• Who owns the infrastructure that healthcare depends on?
• Looking at this change from a risk management perspective
