🦃 The Annual “Portion Control” Counseling Session 🍽️

CPT 99401 – Preventive Medicine Counseling, Individual

Ah, Thanksgiving - the season of gratitude, gatherings, and gravy‑related decision‑making. 🥧

Every year, we promise ourselves it won’t happen again:
“This time, I’ll go easy on the stuffing…”
“Just one slice of pie…”
…and then the elastic waistband becomes our true holiday hero. 😅

That’s where CPT 99401 steps in — your friendly post‑feast (and pre‑nap) check‑in for healthier habits and gentle accountability. It’s not about skipping the good stuff; it’s about keeping your plate (and plans) balanced for the whole holiday season. 🦃💪

So go ahead — grab that extra roll. Just remember, “portion control” and “pumpkin pie” don’t have to be sworn enemies. 💛

🛋️ Processing Post‑Holiday Family Drama 🦃

CPT 90837 – Psychotherapy, 60 Minutes

Turkey is gone. The gravy boat is empty. And the family group chat is suspiciously quiet. You survived another Thanksgiving — but your emotions might still be digesting. 🍽️

From debates over the best pie to that one uncle who “doesn’t believe in napkins,” sometimes the holiday cheer comes with a side of stress. That’s where CPT 90837 – Psychotherapy, 60 Minutes shines.

It’s the perfect space to debrief, laugh, and work through the holiday madness that even pumpkin pie can’t sweeten. Because your mental health deserves seconds too. 🧡

So take a deep breath, book that session, and remember — some gravy spills are easier to clean up than others! 💬

🏥 Best Practices to Keep Your Healthcare Practice HIPAA Compliant

In healthcare, trust starts with privacy. Staying HIPAA compliant isn’t just about following rules — it’s about protecting your patients, your reputation, and your business. At BAC-Office, we understand how critical it is for providers to keep patient data safe and secure in every part of the billing and administrative process.

Here are key best practices every healthcare provider should follow to stay HIPAA compliant in 2025 and beyond 👇

🔍 Conduct Risk Assessments – Identify vulnerabilities before they become problems.
🧾 Update Policies & Procedures – Clear rules for handling PHI are a must.
👩‍⚕️ Employee Training – Ensure staff know HIPAA rules and their responsibilities.
🔐 Limit PHI Access – Use role-based permissions and review regularly.
💻 Encrypt Data – Keep information safe in transit and at rest.
📱 Secure Mobile Devices – Enforce passcodes, encryption, and remote wipe.
🚨 Incident Response Plan – Have a clear plan for breaches or security events.
🤝 Business Associate Agreements – Ensure all partners handle PHI responsibly.
🧭 Monitor & Audit – Regular checks help catch issues early.
📄 Privacy Notices – Let patients know how their info is used and their rights.
🗑️ Secure Disposal – Shred or securely delete PHI when no longer needed.
🧩 HIPAA Officer – Assign someone to oversee compliance efforts.

HIPAA compliance is an ongoing process. Protecting patient data, maintaining trust, and staying proactive keeps your practice safe.

Code A4550 – Surgical Tray

After the feast comes the real operation… Thanksgiving cleanup! 🍽️💥

Between carving‑knife casualties, gravy boat mishaps, and mashed‑potato splatter, the kitchen starts to look a bit like an OR. That’s when A4550 earns its seasonal nickname: “The Thanksgiving Cleanup Crew Starter Pack.”

Scalpels = butter knives.
Gauze = paper towels.
Surgical tray = leftovers Tetris station.

So scrub in, grab your spatula, and start the great post‑feast cleanse! Just remember — we specialize in billing, administration, and credentialing, not cranberry sauce extractions. 😉
