H-1B Update: Possible Exemption for Physicians

Reports indicate physicians (including residents) may be exempt from the new $100,000 H-1B visa fee—a carve-out aimed at protecting the U.S. healthcare workforce amid ongoing clinician shortages. If finalized, this could help hospitals and practices maintain access to talent, especially in underserved areas.

Why it matters for practices:

-Staffing stability: Easier recruitment of hard-to-fill roles
-Continuity of care: Less disruption in access for patients
-Planning clarity: Better forecasting for hiring and onboarding

We’ll keep watching this closely and share operational guidance if the exemption is formally adopted.

The Trump administration's new H-1B visa policy, which introduces a $100,000 fee, might offer exemptions for certain professionals. A White House spokesperson indicated that physicians and medical residents could potentially be excluded from this fee. This development has raised concerns among medic...

Medicare Advantage: Member Experience is the New Differentiator

Too many MA members enroll, then struggle to use their benefits—leading to missed care, churn, and lower Star Ratings. Plans that move from reactive service to proactive navigation (real-time provider matching, outreach for screenings, care coordination) build confidence, cut avoidable costs, and improve retention.

What we’re watching:

*Proactive engagement → higher Star Ratings & loyalty
*Coordinated scheduling & in-network guidance → fewer costly missteps
*Targeted support for at-risk groups → better equity & outcomes
*Predictive/AI tools → anticipate needs before issues escalate

If you manage MA lives, member navigation isn’t a nice-to-have—it’s a growth and quality lever. Full piece here. https://quantum-health.com/blog/member-experience-in-medicare-advantage/

Millions of Medicare Advantage members enroll in plans with valuable benefits, yet too many struggle to use them effectively.

Medicare Reimbursement Update

The Senate introduced the Medicare Patient Access and Practice Stabilization Act of 2025 (S.1640), which would reverse the 2.83% physician pay cut from January and add a 2% increase through December.

It’s a welcome breather—but remember, Medicare physician payments are down ~33% since 2001 (inflation-adjusted). Long-term reform is still needed to keep practices sustainable.

At TrustMed Solutions, we help providers navigate reimbursement changes so they can focus on patient care.

👉 What do you think—is a 2% bump enough, or does Medicare need a bigger overhaul?

The American Medical Association on Wednesday said it strongly supports the Medicare Patient Access and Practice Stabilization Act of 2025 that would temporarily reverse the 2.83% payment cut to physicians.

⚖️ Medicare Reimbursement: Striving for Fairness

Did you know hospitals and independent practices often get paid very differently for the same services? A new House bill aims to change that by creating more parity in Medicare payments.

👉 Why this matters:
💵 Independent providers could gain stronger financial stability
🏥 Patients may see better access to local care
⚖️ A more balanced and fair system overall

At TrustMed Solutions, we know reimbursement policy directly impacts practice sustainability — and ultimately, patient care. We’ll be watching this closely.

What do you think: Should independent providers be reimbursed at the same rates as hospitals?

The Prompt and Fair Pay Act would require Medicare Advantage insurers to reimburse providers at traditional Medicare rates, effectively closing the payment gap between public and private plans.

⏳ Prior Authorizations: Slowing Down Care & Adding Stress

If you’re a provider, you already know the struggle… prior authorizations (PAs) mean:

-More paperwork 📑

-Longer wait times for patients ⏱️

-Higher risk of denials if every detail isn’t perfect ❌

While PAs are supposed to ensure “medical necessity,” the reality often creates frustration for both providers and patients.

At TrustMed Solutions, we’ve seen how the right workflows make a huge difference:

✔️ Verify requirements upfront
✔️ Track authorizations closely
✔️ Stay in communication with payers

When managed proactively, prior authorizations don’t have to derail patient care — or your revenue.

💡 Medicare vs. Medicaid — What’s the Difference? 🏥

Healthcare can be confusing, especially when it comes to insurance programs. Two that often get mixed up are Medicare and Medicaid:

👉 Medicare – For people 65+ or with certain disabilities, regardless of income.

👉 Medicaid – For individuals & families with limited income, offering broader coverage in many states.

Knowing the difference helps patients avoid billing surprises — and helps providers make sure claims are filed correctly.

At TrustMed Solutions, we guide healthcare providers through the maze of insurance billing so they can focus on patient care while we handle the paperwork.

🧾 What is a Superbill in Healthcare—and Why Does It Matter?

If you're a private practice or out-of-network provider, you've likely heard the term “superbill” tossed around. But what exactly is it—and how does it impact your patients and billing workflow?

A superbill is a detailed invoice created by a healthcare provider that lists the services rendered, diagnosis codes, provider info, and fees. It’s typically given to patients so they can submit it to their insurance company for potential reimbursement when the provider is not billing insurance directly.

🔹 Why is it important?

*Ensures patients can get reimbursed for out-of-network care

*Helps maintain accurate documentation for claims

*Empowers providers to remain independent from insurance billing if desired

💡 Quick tip: A well-prepared superbill should include:

-CPT/ICD-10 codes
-Provider NPI and contact info
-Date of service & service description
-Patient details

At TrustMed Solutions, we help providers generate clean, complete superbills and streamline their reimbursement process—whether in-network or out-of-network.

📩 Need help building or submitting superbills for your clients? Let’s chat. We’ve got you covered.
