## Resource

Scott Middleton joins Jamie live from Boston — fresh off signing the official merger paperwork at 3am — to break down the single biggest operational gap he's finding in the newly merged organization: providers doing real, valuable clinical work and simply not documenting it. The insight that cuts to the core of this episode: when you don't log what you did for a patient, Medicare doesn't see a provider who worked hard — it sees a provider who didn't show up, and your NPI number pays the price.
