Joseph White Mental Health Counselor - Transforming Psychological Care

Joseph White, a pioneering mental health counselor, was instrumental in transforming psychology to be more inclusive and culturally relevant, particularly for African Americans. Born in 1932, he championed culturally sensitive mental health care and was a key figure in founding Black Psychology. His advocacy for diversity and focus on community strengths reshaped the mental health landscape, making care more accessible. White's work continues to inspire counselors and psychologists in promoting culturally competent practices today.

fic: not a flower on the wall The Pitt (Abbot/Walsh; E; 11.3k words)

"You have my credentials in there like it's a CV, you weirdo! All that you're missing is my NPI number!" "Well, how do you have me saved on your phone?" Walsh opens her contact card for him and flips the screen around so he can see Jack Abbot, ER douche. Frowning, he asks, "How is that better? If anything, it might be worse!" "At least it doesn't look like I hacked LinkedIn for your personal information."

1. loose me from hard care by DrOdyssey (TheLadyVanishes) | mohan/walsh

Walsh smiled, that sharp little mean thing that always made Samira’s blood heat. “You want someone to teach you, right?”

Samira, dumbfounded, nodded.

“Do we, or do we not work at a teaching hospital?”

“I — yes?”

“Well then, Dr. Mohan. Let’s get you taught.”

2. Icarus (or, The Other Ways We Fall) by dazzlingsuns | mohabbot

Jack finds it’s hard to draw neat bounds around the amorphous object that is their entanglement. Samira says the trouble began when he kissed her breathless behind a tree at Heather and Robby’s wedding. He doesn’t know how to tell her it was likely the first time he saw her in the damn parking lot.

AKA, the Mohabbot situationship fic.

3. 86 Days, 87 Nights by spqr | mohan/abbot/robby

“Maybe this really is like Lost,” Samira muses, later that night. “Maybe we all died and this is some sort of weird purgatory.”

It could be morbid, but luckily Robby just laughs. “Sure,” he says. “Why not.”

“Maybe — ” Samira starts, planning to finish that sentence: Maybe Abbott’s the one who survived, but then she shuts up because that’s a cruel thing to say.

“Yeah,” Robby says, heavy, like he knows anyways. “Yeah, maybe.”

3. You're a Good Man, Frank Langdon by avocadomoon | melangdon

Dr. Frank Langdon: steals drugs, gets divorced, cheats on his wife, goes to rehab, falls in love. Not necessarily in that order, though if you ask him it's not really any of your fuckin' business.

4. fall right back to us by allenstreets | garsantos

“This was a bad idea.”

Beside her, Ellis is just laughing, “A terrible one.”

or, Santos asks Ellis to be her date to the hospital gala so she can make her ex-girlfriend jealous. Only it turns out she bit off a little more than she can chew.

By Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH

The US Centers for Disease Control posted a summary of “neglected” parasitic diseases in the United States before a five year pandemic focus on viral threats.

Most people think parasitic diseases occur in poor and developing countries, or are infections they might pick up on a trip to a foreign country. However, parasitic infections also occur in the United States, and in some cases affect millions of people. Often they can go unnoticed, with few symptoms. But many times the infections cause serious illnesses, including seizures, blindness, pregnancy complications, heart failure, and even death. Anyone—regardless of race or economic status—can become infected. CDC has targeted five neglected parasitic infections (NPIs) in the United States as priorities for public health action based on the numbers of people infected, the severity of the illnesses, or our ability to prevent and treat them. These NPIs include Chagas disease, cysticercosis, toxocariasis, toxoplasmosis, and trichomoniasis.

The new person at work was asking around for gum and I did not have gum because I keep forgetting to refill my Quip gum dispenser, but I did have a box of TheraBreath mints. I told her to help herself, and she has eaten so many mints in the past two weeks that today that she apologized to me for eating all my mints, and I told her that, first of all, there were a hundred mints in that box and I didn't like them anyway because they said they were "orange mint" but they are just plain mint and I don't like them very much, and I have a second box of another hundred of them at home, but also- and then I opened my desk drawers.

I have, in my desk:

Mints

Ballpoint pens

Highlighters

Tape

Staples

Staple remover

Paperclips

Decorative sticky notes

Mini 3-ring binder with a handwritten list of all the local medical practices we refer to, their phone numbers, their fax numbers, our doctors' NPI numbers, and contact information for our company representatives, and the filing procedures for scanning medical records regarding cataract post operative surgery procedures

Glasses spray and cleaning cloth

Keyboard dust broom

Permanent markers (black and red)

USB-A to micro USB charging cable

USB-A to USB-C charging cable

USB-A to lightning charging cable

Apple Watch charging cable

Two two-port USB-A plugs

Portable lamp

Keyboard length wrist rest

Ibuprofen

Naproxen

Acetaminophen

Pepto Bismol caplets

Listerine

Gel moisturizing eye drops

Dental floss

Salty-sweet nut bars

Coconut granola biscuit sandwiches

Mini dessert cakes

Hot chocolate k-cups

In the kitchen, I said, I have:

Peanut butter

Raspberry jam

Whole wheat bread

Capri Suns (3 flavors, 1 box cold)

Yogurt

Fruit cups

Fresca

Cheetos

More hot chocolate k-cups

Apple cider k-cups

Chai k-cups

Bottled water

Utensil set including two spoons, a butter knife, a fork, a straw, and chopsticks

And then, I tell her, my desk-mate just found out yesterday that in my car, along with a roadside breakdown kit, thirty reusable shopping bags, two golf umbrellas, and a first aid kit, I also have five different kinds of tampons (two absorbencies with applicators, three without) and two kinds of pads.

I am also, we noted, the person who most often refills the tank on the coffee machine, mops the bathroom, and cleans the lobby, and I am the only person in the office who is cross-trained in all three departments.

And this new person was like, "So what I'm gathering is that [Z] has got you. No matter what you have going on, [Z] has got you covered."

And I was like, "Yeah, basically."

And she was like, "Noted."

4, 7, 8, 24 and 28 for the tøp asks!

4, my favorite album: ahgjhfg this is an awful question /j i just love different things about every album so it's hard, and it depends on how i'm feeling. i love vessel because most of my chronically favorite songs are from there, but i also love clancy because be honest. all the songs are bangers

7, my favorite hairstyle tyler had: PINK HAIR PINK HAIR PINK HAIR just any pink hair really. i want to dye my hair pink like his was

8, my favorite song lyric: dang this is also pretty hard. i'll just a name a few i resonate with. "i know my soul's freezing, hell's hot for good reason"; "I'm the son of all I've done, imposter, been fostered, then my new father drained my dirty blood"; "metaphorically, i'm a whore, and that's denial number four" haha i had to

24, favorite song from npi: ohhh save, save, save, save, save me (i haven't listened to too much from npi but i have listened to save. a lot)

28, my favoirite song based on the instrumentals: hmm i like kitchen sink's intro. i actually have it as my phone ringtone. but so many of their songs have good instrumentals

[redecoratetrees]

what do the numbers next to the titles of the songs mean? I can't figure it out :c

im assuming this is ab the polls. basically i took the number of spotify streams (or youtube views in the case of RAB and NPI songs) and ranked the songs from most to least popular. so the numbers are just how they ranked! n then i matched them up based off those rankings, top vs bottom ranked the way u wd in like sports playoffs.

[alivehouse]

why would a hospital not have the npi number for one of their clinics on file somewhere. try to navigate the american medical system without killing yourself challenge impossible

[system-of-a-feather]

I'm gonna fuckin loose my mind if I have to wait another two weeks to start work because my employer back in 2020 created an NPPES account with a password and security questions that I wasn't informed on and now I have to wait for the NPPES website to actually process the 'hey my employer was a dipshit' request which *checks notes* "has no time frame nor ability to expedite it"

So if I can't get my fucking NPI number by Monday, I have to wait another two weeks after having already not been working for over a fucking month waiting for the administrative shit of this new job and I'm gonna fucking LOOSE my FUCKING mind between money stress (not genuinely significant because we are fine and have a large money nest, but still very dysregulating because we are really finance insecure due to our trauma) AND with how bad I am at not working for more than two weeks I swear to god

PLUS my therapist probably wont be able to see me next week and I'm just like

*sounds of steaming kettle noises out of my ears trying not to meltdown*

Like I'm venting here because MAYBE itll cool my brain down a bit like, thank god we have Chunn brain whose so much more calm about this than the brain over here venting but Im gonna fucking loose my mind even if the dominant brain is going "chill its okay there is literally no threat you are ok don't get into fight mode at thin air"

[edwardslostalchemy]

I hate you medical identification numbers 💖. Every time I get a new one from the alphabet soup list, the people I work for pull a new one out of their ass so I can get that one. The one I'm applying for is saying I need a valid NPI number. Bitch, I'm giving it to you. It's very valid, it's been accepted everywhere. Dumbass.

[kringas]

hcp didn't include an NPI number on their claim so my insurance rejected it and now are mad that I'm not willing to pay until they refile the claim. Like you DIDN'T INCLUDE YOUR NPI literally the easiest thing... Ridiculous

The Ultimate Guide to Hassle-Free Medical & Dental Credentialing!

In today’s competitive and highly regulated healthcare environment, credentialing is essential for medical and dental professionals who want to practice legally, get reimbursed by insurance, and build trust with patients and peers. Whether you're a physician applying through a state medical board or a dentist seeking payer enrollment, credentialing ensures that your qualifications are recognized and your services are authorized.

At Umulisa Health, we specialize in both medical board credentialing and dental credentialing services, offering end-to-end support to help healthcare professionals streamline the process and avoid costly delays.

What Is Medical Board Credentialing?

Medical board credentialing is the formal process through which a physician or healthcare provider proves that they meet the licensing, education, and professional standards set by a regulatory board, typically at the state or provincial level.

This process is required to:

Obtain a license to practice medicine

Join hospital staff or a medical group

Be eligible for insurance enrollment and reimbursement

Maintain ongoing compliance with regulatory bodies

The medical board credentialing process includes verifying:

Medical school degrees

Residency and fellowship training

Board certifications

State or provincial licensure

DEA registration (if prescribing)

Malpractice history

Work history and references

The credentialing process can take several weeks or even months. Errors, omissions, or missing documents can cause significant delays—something busy physicians can't afford.

What Is Dental Credentialing?

Dental credentialing is similar in purpose but tailored to the dental field. It ensures that dentists meet the necessary clinical and ethical standards to be recognized by insurance companies and practice legally. Dental credentialing is required for:

Joining private or public dental insurance networks

Partnering with group dental practices or DSO organizations

Maintaining licensure and compliance

Reimbursement from payers like Medicaid, Delta Dental, Aetna, and others

Dental credentialing involves:

Verifying dental school graduation and training

State or provincial dental license validation

Malpractice insurance verification

NPI number assignment

CAQH profile creation (if required)

Submission of credentialing applications to insurers

Even highly skilled dentists can face revenue loss and legal issues if their credentialing is incomplete or mishandled.

Common Challenges in Credentialing

Both medical and dental professionals face similar challenges during the credentialing process:

Complex Paperwork Applications for state boards or insurance payers are long, technical, and vary by jurisdiction.

Time-Consuming Process Credentialing can take 60–120 days or more, depending on how many payers and licensing entities are involved.

Frequent Follow-Ups Providers must follow up with insurers or boards to avoid application stagnation.

Ongoing Maintenance Licenses, certifications, and payer contracts all require periodic renewals, re-credentialing, or re-attestation.

Errors and Omissions Missing or incorrect information can cause application rejection or delay enrollment indefinitely.

For a provider focused on patient care, handling credentialing internally can be overwhelming. That’s where Umulisa Health comes in.

How Umulisa Health Helps

Our credentialing specialists at Umulisa Health bring precision, efficiency, and peace of mind to every aspect of the credentialing process. We help healthcare professionals—from general practitioners to dentists and specialists—stay credentialed, compliant, and compensated.

How to Bill Medicare as a Provider

How to Bill Medicare as a Provider: A Step-by-Step Guide to Accurate and Compliant Reimbursement Billing Medicare as a provider is a crucial responsibility that directly impacts your practice’s cash flow, compliance, and overall operational efficiency. Whether you're a physician, nurse practitioner, therapist, clinic administrator, or other licensed healthcare professional, understanding how to bill Medicare as a provider ensures you get paid for the services you deliver—without running into claim rejections, audits, or payment delays. Medicare is a federal health insurance program that covers millions of Americans, primarily those aged 65 and older, as well as certain individuals with disabilities. Since it is funded and regulated by the government, billing Medicare involves a strict set of rules, timelines, and documentation requirements. This guide will walk you through the entire process of how to bill Medicare as a provider—from registration to reimbursement.

Enroll in Medicare as a Provider Before you can bill Medicare, you must first become an approved Medicare provider. This means applying through the Medicare Provider Enrollment, Chain, and Ownership System (PECOS). Steps to enroll: • Create a PECOS account online at https://pecos.cms.hhs.gov • Submit your Medicare Enrollment Application (CMS-855I) • Include required documentation (state license, NPI, malpractice insurance, etc.) • Await approval and issuance of a Provider Transaction Access Number (PTAN) • Set up Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) for payment Enrollment may take several weeks. Once approved, you'll be officially eligible to provide services to Medicare beneficiaries and bill Medicare for payment.

Verify Medicare Coverage and Eligibility Before rendering services, always verify that the patient has active Medicare coverage. You can do this via: • Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) portal • HIPAA Eligibility Transaction System (HETS) • Third-party clearinghouse tools Confirm: • Part A or Part B eligibility • Medicare Advantage enrollment (if applicable) • Secondary insurance or Medigap coverage • Deductibles and coinsurance status Verifying eligibility upfront helps prevent denials and ensures the service is billable.

Provide Covered Services and Document Thoroughly After verifying coverage, you may proceed with delivering services. All care must be medically necessary and clearly documented in the patient’s medical record. Proper documentation must include: • Patient complaints/symptoms • Clinical findings and test results • Diagnoses (linked to ICD-10-CM codes) • Treatment rendered • Provider signature and date of service This documentation supports the coding and justifies the reimbursement.

Code Services Accurately Correct coding is the backbone of Medicare billing. Every diagnosis, procedure, or service must be translated into standardized codes: • ICD-10-CM for diagnoses • CPT for procedures (e.g., office visits, surgeries, therapy sessions) • HCPCS Level II for supplies, equipment, and non-physician services • Modifiers (e.g., -25, -59) to explain special circumstances Incorrect or vague coding is a leading cause of Medicare claim denials. Consider using certified medical coders or billing software with built-in coding assistance.

Fill Out the Correct Claim Form To bill Medicare directly, providers must use one of the following standardized forms: • CMS-1500 (Form 837P) – for outpatient/professional services (Part B) • UB-04 (Form 837I) – for institutional providers (Part A, hospitals, SNFs) Most providers submit these claims electronically through: • Medicare-approved clearinghouses • Practice management systems • Direct MAC online portals Claims must be submitted within 12 months of the date of service to be eligible for reimbursement.

Submit the Claim to Medicare or the Appropriate Plan The claims process depends on whether the patient is enrolled in Original Medicare or Medicare Advantage (Part C): • For Original Medicare (Parts A and B): Send claims to your designated Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) • For Medicare Advantage plans: Submit claims to the private insurance company managing the plan (e.g., Humana, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare) following their specific submission protocols Each MAC or Medicare Advantage plan has different claim timelines, formats, and payer IDs, so double-check the requirements before submission.

Monitor Claim Status and Respond to Remittances After submission, track the status of your Medicare claim through your billing software or the MAC portal. Once processed, you'll receive a Remittance Advice (RA) or Explanation of Benefits (EOB) that outlines: • Amount approved • Medicare’s payment • Patient responsibility (copay, deductible, coinsurance) • Any denials or payment adjustments Post payments to the patient account and generate a bill for any remaining balance.

Handle Denials and Submit Appeals (If Necessary) Medicare claims may be denied for reasons such as: • Invalid codes • Missing modifiers • Services deemed not medically necessary • Eligibility issues • Duplicate billing When this happens, review the denial code on the RA/EOB and determine the cause. You may: • Correct and resubmit the claim • Request a redetermination (Level 1 appeal) through the MAC • Escalate through additional appeal levels if necessary Timely appeals with proper documentation can recover lost revenue.

Collect Patient Balances and Offer Clear Billing Patients covered by Medicare Part B typically owe 20% coinsurance after Medicare pays 80%. Patients may also be responsible for deductibles or charges for non-covered services. To avoid confusion: • Provide Advance Beneficiary Notices (ABNs) when necessary • Offer clear, itemized statements • Allow multiple payment options, including online payment portals • Bill secondary payers (e.g., Medigap, Medicaid) when appropriate

Stay Compliant with Medicare Regulations Billing Medicare means adhering to strict federal laws, including: • HIPAA: Ensures privacy and security of patient data • CMS guidelines: Define billing rules and fee schedules • False Claims Act: Prohibits fraudulent or misrepresented claims • OIG compliance standards: Prevent improper billing and abuse To stay compliant: • Conduct routine billing audits • Train staff regularly • Use up-to-date billing software • Maintain documentation for every billed service

Conclusion Learning how to bill Medicare as a provider is essential for running a compliant, financially healthy practice that can sustainably serve Medicare beneficiaries. From enrollment to documentation, coding, claim submission, and appeals, each step must be handled with precision and care. By understanding Medicare’s processes, leveraging the right tools, and staying updated with policy changes, providers can streamline their billing workflows, minimize denials, and ensure timely reimbursement—all while remaining in full compliance with federal regulations. Mastering Medicare billing isn't just about getting paid—it's about building a strong, sustainable system for delivering care to the patients who need it most.

George J. Shamma - Investigation Report

Key Points

Identity: George J. Shamma, MD, is a family medicine practitioner based in Fayetteville, Arkansas, with approximately 10 years of medical experience.

Professional Background: Educated at Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine, completed residency at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, and specializes in family medicine.

Criminal Allegation: Arrested in 2017 in connection with an intentional fire at Mountain Ranch Apartments in Fayetteville, with evidence suggesting arson.

Reputation: Positive patient reviews highlight his caring and professional demeanor, but the 2017 arson allegation raises significant concerns.

Overview

George J. Shamma, MD, is a licensed family medicine physician practicing in Fayetteville, Arkansas. He earned his Doctor of Medicine degree from Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine in Dayton, Ohio, in 2014. Following his education, he completed a residency at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, solidifying his expertise in family medicine. Dr. Shamma is affiliated with the Fayetteville Family Medical Center and has been recognized for providing preventive care, treating common medical conditions, and referring patients to specialists when necessary. His National Provider Identifier (NPI) number is 1649632860, assigned in March 2016. Dr. Shamma operates a website (drgeorgeshamma.com) where he shares articles on chronic health conditions, pain management, and holistic wellness, positioning himself as a compassionate and knowledgeable healthcare provider.

Allegations and Concerns

2017 Arson Incident: Dr. Shamma was arrested on September 13, 2017, in connection with a fire at Mountain Ranch Apartments in Fayetteville. The fire, reported on September 7, 2017, was deemed intentional, with evidence including a plastic sack containing an almost empty bottle of paint thinner found in the hallway. Surveillance footage showed Shamma wearing latex gloves, carrying a bottle in a plastic sack, and holding a cigarette lighter minutes before the fire alarm was activated. Police found a cigarette lighter in his apartment and latex gloves in a BBQ grill. Estimated building damage was $2,145, and Shamma was released on a $25,000 bond. No further updates on the case outcome (e.g., conviction or dismissal) are available in the provided sources.

Customer Feedback

Positive Feedback: Patients describe Dr. Shamma as “very caring and soft-spoken,” praising his “superb care and personal service with a high level of professionalism, knowledgeable, helpful & honest about the pros and cons of various options for treatment.” These reviews, found on WebMD, emphasize his dedication and patient-centered approach.

Negative Feedback: No specific negative patient reviews were identified in the provided sources. However, the 2017 arson allegation could indirectly impact his professional reputation, though no direct patient complaints link to this incident.

Limited Review Data: The absence of extensive patient reviews across platforms like Vitals or CareDash limits the depth of feedback analysis. The single positive review on WebMD is not corroborated by a large sample size.

Risk Considerations

Reputational Risk: The 2017 arson allegation, even without a confirmed conviction, poses a significant reputational risk. Public perception of a physician linked to an intentional fire could deter patients and harm professional credibility.

Legal Risk: The unresolved status of the 2017 arson case introduces uncertainty. If convicted, Dr. Shamma could face penalties affecting his medical license or practice. The lack of follow-up information makes it difficult to assess the current legal status.

Professional Risk: As a family physician, any association with criminal activity, even if unproven, could lead to scrutiny from medical boards or loss of trust among colleagues and patients.

Cybercrime Misassociation: The invalid source link suggesting a cybercrime investigation could indicate misinformation or a potential smear, but without evidence, it does not constitute a tangible risk.

Business Relations and Associations

Professional Affiliations: Dr. Shamma is affiliated with the Fayetteville Family Medical Center, where he provides care as a family medicine practitioner. No specific hospital affiliations are noted, and he has not indicated telehealth services or accepted insurance plans in available records.

Educational Background: His medical education at Wright State University and residency at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences connect him to reputable institutions, enhancing his professional credibility.

Online Presence: Dr. Shamma maintains a website (drgeorgeshamma.com) with articles on healthcare topics, indicating an effort to engage with patients and establish thought leadership in family medicine.

No Business Partnerships: No evidence suggests partnerships with other businesses or organizations beyond his medical practice and affiliations.

Legal and Financial Concerns

2017 Arson Arrest: As noted, Dr. Shamma was arrested for allegedly starting a fire at Mountain Ranch Apartments. The case involved physical evidence (paint thinner, latex gloves, cigarette lighter) and surveillance footage. He was released on a $25,000 bond, but no further legal outcomes (e.g., charges dropped, conviction, or trial) are documented in the provided sources.

No Financial Concerns: No records of bankruptcies, liens, judgments, or unpaid debts were found in the provided sources.

No Other Lawsuits: Beyond the 2017 incident, no additional lawsuits or legal actions are reported.

Risk Assessment TableRisk TypeRisk FactorsSeverityReputational 2017 arson allegation; potential patient distrust due to criminal association High Legal Unresolved 2017 arson case; possible impact on medical license if convicted Moderate Professional Potential scrutiny from medical boards or loss of patient trust Moderate Financial No evidence of financial issues (e.g., bankruptcy, debts); limited data available Low Misinformation Invalid cybercrime link may suggest misinformation or smear campaign Low

Expert Opinion

Dr. George J. Shamma appears to be a qualified family medicine practitioner with a solid educational background and positive patient feedback. His dedication to family medicine, evidenced by his training and online content, suggests a commitment to patient care. However, the 2017 arson allegation is a significant red flag. While no conviction is confirmed in available records, the incident—supported by physical evidence and surveillance—raises serious questions about his personal conduct. The lack of resolution in the case (e.g., whether charges were dropped or pursued) complicates the assessment, as it leaves open the possibility of ongoing legal risk.

Pros:

Strong educational credentials from reputable institutions.

Positive patient feedback emphasizing care and professionalism.

Active engagement through a professional website with relevant medical content.

Cons:

The 2017 arson arrest, with compelling evidence, poses a reputational and legal risk.

Limited patient review data makes it hard to gauge broader satisfaction.

Unverified cybercrime link suggests potential misinformation, which could confuse or mislead.

Cautionary Advice: For patients or partners considering Dr. Shamma, verify the status of the 2017 arson case through court records or direct inquiry, as it could impact his professional standing. His medical expertise appears sound, but the unresolved allegation warrants caution. For those researching potential cybercrime connections, no credible evidence supports such claims, and the invalid source link should be disregarded unless substantiated by reliable data.
