Press Room

Gilbert Gonzales: Last week, the Tennessee House of Representatives approved a resolution that denounces the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriages across the country, including in Tennessee. Ongoing debate and pending legislation in the Tennessee legislature allows and potentially promotes discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Tennesseans in public accommodations like locker rooms and restrooms, schools and universities, and health care settings.

By Holly Fletcher: Hospitals and medical practices share a growing problem with those they treat: Patients aren't paying their bills. Working people are on the hook for an increasingly large portion of the cost of their care, as insurance policies pay for less. It's a trend that is not reversing — and it’s causing financial distress for families and CEOs alike. In health care, the billing process is called revenue cycle management. It’s a complex system of diagnostic codes, services, insurance benefit analysis, billing departments and software.
