Setting up a new blog . . .

. . . is a pain in the ass. Seriously.

I love to write, and I have lots of ideas--I've missed blogging! But first, I need to set this thing up . . . I have to admit that it is much easier now than it was in 2005 when I started the other blog. MUCH easier. In a way, it's more difficult though because I know what I need to do . . . back then I was learning along the way (on-the-blog training?).

So instead of writing, I'm adding links and a site meter . . . I still need to be added to the blog directories and ranking sites.

I've also noticed that some of the blogs from the past that focused on the business side of health care are no longer in existence . . . The business side isn't nearly as interesting, for sure. But it is important . . .

After setting up the blog, I plan to move any relevant posts from the old blog over here, so if you see something that looks familiar, I promise that it wasn't plagiarized. Then I'll start writing some new material. One of the first topics I will write about is health care/health insurance fraud. Later, I'll share some "patient" stories. Yes, I have patient stories too, and I need to be mindful of HIPAA when I write them. You've read what the doctors say about patient interactions . . . it doesn't stop there. All of that stuff is touched on the insurance side as well--think underwriting, claims, etc.

So, here we go again!
