September was National Skin Care Awareness Month, and we took the opportunity to spotlight why skincare is so much more than appearances.

In this special episode of Practice Perfect, host Jennifer McNamara sits down with Megan Renner — Beauty Society representative, wife, and volunteer — who is passionate about helping women feel confident and cared for.

Together, they dive into:
✅ Why skincare is about health, prevention, and confidence
✅ How simple routines can make a big difference every day
✅ Why awareness matters all year long, not just in summer
✅ How healthcare professionals can normalize conversations around skin health

💡 Whether you’re a busy professional, a healthcare provider, or simply someone who wants to feel more confident in your own skin, this episode will inspire you to see skincare as a vital part of self-care.

🎧 Listen here and be reminded: your skin deserves as much care as the rest of you.

This special bonus episode pulls together some of the most valuable conversations and updates across coding, compliance, and healthcare operations.

We dig into the everyday realities of being a coder and how much more it takes than just knowing the rules. You’ll hear a fresh perspective from Cameron Lewellen, plus a big announcement from Turner Consulting that impacts how practices can get the support they need.

We also shine a light on compliance in behavioral health—a space where regulations are constantly evolving and documentation is critical. From there, we unpack the gray areas of “medical necessity,” why payers care, and how providers can protect themselves.

And because no coding mashup is complete without it, we close with a look at new codes you should have on your radar to stay ahead of payer changes.

This episode is a quick hit of education, industry updates, and inspiration—perfect for coders, consultants, and practice leaders who want to stay sharp without spending hours in the weeds.

In this episode, we dive into the power of communication and how it shapes everything from workplace culture to payer negotiations.

We start by unpacking why communication is key—not just in theory, but in the day-to-day challenges of healthcare teams. You’ll hear real stories that bring these points to life, showing how small details can make a big difference.

From there, we turn to the payer games that practices are still stuck playing—denials, delays, and shifting rules—and talk about strategies to level the playing field. More stories and lessons keep it real and relatable, before wrapping up with takeaways you can apply right away.

This episode blends storytelling, real-world payer frustrations, and practical insight, making it perfect for anyone trying to navigate the realities of healthcare operations and coding.
