What Do Medicare Compliance and Love Have In Common?

Love is fickle. Love hits you when you aren’t looking. Love is kind of scary. Love is never the same for everyone. And, like Medicare Compliance, you never know how long it will last.

During this special week of love, we see the similarities between Medicare Compliance and the most celebrated of emotions. So, it’s with a cheek full of tongue and a light heart that I give you seven pieces of advice on handling Medicare compliance and love.

First, don’t panic – just like love, you will find yourself thinking about your Mandatory Insurer Reporting solution (maybe talking to it?) at odd moments. My advice is to not think about it while you talk with your spouse, they’ll know you’re up to something.

Second, it’s alright to get angry about it sometimes. We are at our most vulnerable when we open ourselves to others and share our past. Reporting to Medicare is cleansing and you will grow as a person after sharing.

Third, go with the flow. The processes of love and Medicare Compliance are not always what you thought they would be.

Fourth, when you fall in love or start complying, you are going to meet the in-laws, the siblings and the vendors. Be sure you have the telephone number of a good friend to talk to (like Gould & Lamb, 866-672-3453)

Fifth, if you’re looking for love or a Mandatory Insurer Reporting solution, don’t rely on the Internet. Meeting a reporting partner or a life partner is best accomplished the old fashioned way, with a personal introduction and a meeting (hint –hint).

Sixth, when you have found that person or process that completes you, don’t mess it up. Love is about communication and trust; Medicare compliance is the same thing. Both parties have to talk and do the right thing for it to work.

Seventh, don’t force it – if you are ready to commit; then commit. If you have any compatibility problems with your current Medicare Compliance Partner, talk with them and then consider the Gould & Lamb solution.
