Just Some Podcast for Advanced Practitioners

Tom & Ben have discussed expanding the scope of the show and this is the first test episode in that format. We have discussed expanding to include other healthcare domains, so we welcomed Megan, a respiratory therapist, on the show. She discusses the role of respiratory therapy both in inpatient and outpatient settings. She also helps us to examine CPAPs in great detail and discusses the importance alarms on the ventilator. Our "Story You May Have Missed" discusses a Christmas present that could be causing more harm than good to those that receive it.

Ben & Tom attempt to discuss the effects of alcohol. We examine the acute effects, holiday heart, and chronic effects of alcohol usage. The guys decided to do this while drinking alcohol as well, so that effects could be seen during the episode. What transpired ended up having to be re-done. But Kyle pulled some of the funnier bits from the first recording of the show and inserted those into the episode. We also (with the help from some friends) made some spoof commercials for Cafe Bustelo, because a strong coffee is usually needed the next day after alcohol usage. So make sure you listen to this episode and hear the guys in all their intoxicated glory. Amazon Affiliate Link:https://www.amazon.com/?tag=justsomepodca-20&linkCode=ur1

A 9921..what? Ben & Tom jump deep into the sewers of medical billing to break it all down for you. How do you know what code to bill? Do I get a consent form or not? Is there an ICD-10 code for this? What are RVUS and how are they calculated? All those questions and more are answered in this episode. The guys break it down into three sections. First, is determining the appropriate coding for your office visits. We look at what needs to go into the HPI, ROS, and PE for each code. Next, they examine the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 and why we had to make that change. What is ICD-10 good for and they find some VERY interesting ICD-10 codes. Lastly, (and a highly requested topic) the boys jump into CPT codes, consent forms, and RVUs. An in-depth explanation of calculating RVUs occurs in this episode. If you are negotiating a RVU contract in the future, you don't want to miss this. And after the show ends, we get the guys back on for a short explanation of next week's episode.

November or Movember is men's health month so Tom & Ben wanted to examine men's health topics more in detail. So "urine" luck as we welcome certified urology nurse practitioner, Hillary, to the show. With Hillary's help, the guys address #NoShaveNovember, #Movember, #NoNutNovember, Prostate Cancer, Bladder Cancer, and Erectile Dysfunction. We also discuss when to refer to urology as well as testing to be done beforehand to help expedite the process. We open the show with a playing ZDoggMD's "Say Something" as we discuss briefly the tragic events in Chicago where more caregivers lost their lives. #SilentNoMore Video can be found at http://zdoggmd.com/say-something/ Hillary gave some great links for resources for urology needs. http://www.auanet.org http://wwwurologyhealth.org Hillary also coauthored a chapter in a textbook on Men's Health directed toward APRNs and PAs that can be found here. https://amzn.to/2QrEPsW To help out the show, feel free to use our amazon affiliate link located here: https://www.amazon.com/?tag=justsomepodca-20&linkCode=ur1
