Dealing with Medicare and Medicaid Overpayments : Medicare and Medicaid overpayments are pretty common. If they are not dealt with properly, they invite penalties. Medicare and Medicaid Overpayments happen when a person, provider or supplier receives a payment that is in excess of the amount due to him or her under Medicare statutes and regulations. This overpayment becomes a federal debt that is owed by the individual to the State. So, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is required by federal law to recover this amount. Overpayments routinely occur in Medicare and Medicaid. Many a time, these are unintended and are usually a result of oversight, but could also happen due to intent. Some of the most common reasons for which Medicare and Medicaid overpayments occur can be when: Duplicate submissions of the same service or claim are made Excessive or non-covered services are billed or furnished for billing Services that are not necessary medically or are excluded are paid for The wrong payee gets paid. How are Medicare and Medicaid overpayments processed? Obamacare has amended the federal False Claims Act (FCA), which is part of the Fraud Enforcement Recovery Act of 2009 (FERA), to add provisions relating to recovery of Medicare and Medicaid overpayments. This is how the process of Medicare and Medicaid overpayments works: Whenever Medicare comes to know that any overpayment of $10 (raised to $25 from July 2014) or more is made, it directs the Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) to initiate the process of recovery of this overpayment. The MAC starts the process by initially mailing a demand letter in which repayment is requested If no action is taken, a second and third demand letters are mailed in a month following the first one. Contents of a demand mail from Medicare/Medicaid: The demand letter sent by the MAC will explain the details of the Medicare and/or overpayment. When repayment is not made in full within 30 days, interest starts get

Fungicides are biological active substances or biocides that kill specific fungal species or fungi. A fungicide restricts their proliferation. Fungi are known to cause serious economic damages in agriculture, causing financial losses, quality, and crop loss.

A gynecological device is a medical device that is used to promote female health or to protect and preserve reproductive health for females. This is a very broad category and includes products such as watches, calculators, bandages, and hygienic towels. While many of these products have been clinically tested and found to be safe for female health, there are still a few devices in the market that pose threats to female reproductive health. Gynecological devices usually fall into three categories: medical devices, biological safety devices, and mechanical devices. Medical devices are those that prevent the risk of injury or trauma to a woman's reproductive organs from medical interventions. Biologic safety devices are those that protect a female's health by promoting female reproductive health. Finally, mechanical devices are those that help maintain a woman's reproductive health and allow her to achieve or reach their desired fertility or pregnancy. The use of any of these unsupervised or unsafe medical procedures poses a risk to a woman's reproductive health and should be avoided at all costs. The main factors driving the growth of the gynecological devices market are the rapid increase of gynecological diseases such as uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and vaginitis and the introduction of new innovative gynecological devices in the market. For instance, according to the U.S. National Center for Biotechnology Information, approximately 97 per 1000 women suffer from gynecological diseases in the U.S., among which approximately 53 per 1000 women suffer from menstrual disorders. Rising awareness about gynecological health and preventive check-up to avoid sexually transmitted diseases (STD) is expected to boost the market growth. Moreover soaring numbers of surgical procedures such as female sterilization, endoscopy, laparoscopy, and ablation are driving the demand for gynecological devices. However strict regulatory orders by governmental bodies across the globe rel

Decline birth rate worldwide has led to the increasing adoption of various human reproductive technologies. For instance, according to the World Bank, Japan's birth rate, crude (per 1,000 people) decreased from 8.413 in 2005 to 7.4 in 2018. On the other hand, the increasing population has also led to the approval and launch of contraception products. In May 2020, Evofem Biosciences, Inc. received the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for Phexxi (lactic acid, citric acid and potassium bitartrate) vaginal gel used to prevent pregnancy in females of reproductive potential for use as an on-demand method of contraception. As the use of human reproductive technologies advances, there is increasing concern about ethical issues surrounding these medical interventions. While the use of fertility medication has been approved by the FDA, there are still questions about how to regulate it because of the fact that it is not a prescription and because of the inherent risks associated with using the technology. The first thing that we need to recognize is that the technology of artificial insemination has been around for decades. The only difference today is that we now have the ability to use technology to assist in the process of getting pregnant.

A contrast agent (also called a contrast medium) is an electrically charged material used in medical imaging to enhance the contrast of medical vessels or other tissues in the body. Contrast media/contrast agent either absorbs or changes ultrasound or electromagnetism, which is fundamentally different from radiopharms, which themselves emit electromagnetic radiation. This difference enables contrast agents to be applied to various body tissues with much higher strengths than their non-comp contrast counterparts. The most common contrast media/contrast agent used in medical imaging are CT contrast agents and MRI contrast agents. However, due to their non-magnetic nature, these medical imaging products are not able to be used on organ tissues, such as kidneys, hearts and lungs. Some manufacturers have now started manufacturing non-magnetic, biologically engineered CT and MRI contrast agents called mri-notherapy (mammography, radiofrequency ablation, and ultrasound contrast agents). High prevalence of cancer is expected to boost demand for contrast media. In the U.S., non-magnetic, biologically engineered CT and MRI contrast agents are now being used more frequently to treat patients with benign tumors of all types. Mri-notherapy is used for benign cancers of the breast (breast cancer), abdomen (belly fat), neck, head, joint (arthritis) and spine. Patients with melanoma, anemia, inoperable basilar artery disease, and multiple myeloma are also often treated with mri-notherapy. The therapy has a high success rate for benign tumors and very low incidence of mortality, espeacially in patients undergoing surgery. Moreover, recently, in November 2020, the U.S. FDA approved GE Healthcare's macrocyclic gadolinium-based MRI contrast agent, Clariscan (gadoterate meglumine), in pre-filled syringes.
