Q: How do you handle clinical validation denials when payers say you won't receive payment unless you remove a code from the claim? If the hospital removes the code, which is well-documented in the chart by the provider, is this a compliance issue?

🌟 Employee Spotlight: Nicole Votta, Director of NAHRI 🌟

This October, we're celebrating a major milestone—Nicole Votta marks 10 years with HCPro! As the Director of NAHRI, Nicole brings passion, insight, and dedication to everything she does.

Nicole says one of the most rewarding parts of her role is diving deep into the complexities of our healthcare system—especially the financial and reimbursement side—and helping NAHRI members thrive in their careers. "It's a fascinating, delicate ecosystem that’s little understood but profoundly affects all of us," she shares.

When she's not empowering professionals or shaping content, Nicole enjoys reading, concerts, and spending time in nature—a perfect balance of mind, music, and the great outdoors.

Thank you, Nicole, for a decade of impact and inspiration! 💙

We are excited that Dave Cella, former President of HCPro, has been named CEO of HCPro and AHIMA!

A message from Dave: "I am excited to announce that I have started my role as Chief Executive Officer for AHIMA, while continuing to lead HCPro. It is truly an honor to guide both organizations during this pivotal time in healthcare. When HCPro was acquired by AHIMA a couple of years ago, I was thrilled to join such a respected organization with a meaningful mission. Now, having the opportunity to lead both AHIMA and HCPro is incredible. I see great potential for additional collaboration, and I am committed to finding new ways to bring HCPro and AHIMA together to better serve the healthcare community. Together, we can build a stronger community and advance our shared purpose to improve the efficacy and quality of patient care."

Congratulations, Dave! 🎉
