As he settles in, his mind drifts to the new regulations he needs to comply with, especially when it comes to patient data security.

Are You Using the Right RCM Strategies for Value-Based Care?
Dr. Nguyen had always run a tight ship. Her clinic was efficient, her billers sharp, and her patients loyal.

Then, a chilling pop-up appeared: “Your files have been encrypted. Pay $45,000 to regain access.” A ransomware attack had taken down their entire billing operation. For nearly 36 hours, the clinic couldn’t verify insurance, submit claims, or follow up on reimbursements. Patients were rescheduled. Income halted. And the worst part? The attackers had
