A new study suggests that 1 in 5 siblings of children with autism will also be diagnosed. Read more from the AAP.
"The findings are consistent with a 2011 study conducted by many of the same researchers. They emphasized the need to closely monitor siblings, especially those with certain characteristics.
About 1 in 36 children has autism, and rates have been increasing. Researchers said their study indicates the rate increase and other changes since 2011 like greater identification of females and cognitively able children have not impacted rates of family recurrence."

Using the right communication strategies to talk to your patients about billing can ensure a smooth transaction process at your medical practice. Check out this blog for advice on how to talk to patients about collecting payments.
'“We’re often embarrassed about collecting money, but we shouldn’t be,” says Kenneth Hertz FACMPE, principle consultant at Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) Health Care Consulting Group. “You can explain in a friendly tone that you are a business and want to be around for a long time provide care to your patients. That means you have to collect payments.”
Once patients understand this, they are more likely to pay their bills on time. But you do have to be consistent with this message.'

When it comes to streamlining your medical practice, less can be more. Here are some things to cut down on to reduce overwhelm at your practice.
"The pandemic made it possible to care for patients without the necessity of them coming to our brick-and-mortar offices. CMS facilitated this transition to virtual healthcare by agreeing to compensate physicians for in-office visits. As a result, we learned that we could provide good care without having to physically have a patient in the office. Thus, we subtracted the office visits and became more efficient and productive."
