Greeting KAM Members

Summer is one of my favorite times of year.

As a child, the approach of summer seemed like the end of a cold, winter hibernation indoors.

Summer meant warm weather, playing outside on sunny days, swimming pools, and family vacations. This year, the approach of summer felt like the end of an especially long hibernation. After more than a year of Covid lockdowns, social distancing, and travel restrictions, the availability of vaccines and declining Covid counts have made this summer feel like a return to normal (mostly). Many of us are back to eating in restaurants, traveling, and enjoying group gatherings once again. I even cancelled my monthly Zoom subscription!

The Knoxville Academy of Medicine is also enjoying a return to normal. Recently, physician delegates from across the state met in-person to attend the Tennessee Medical Association’s 186th House of Delegates meeting. The Knoxville Academy of Medicine and Region 7 were well represented at the meeting with the largest delegation in attendance, including three residents and one medical student. I am very grateful for the time each of our delegates took out of their schedules to represent our region. It was exciting to see the enthusiasm of several firsttime delegates, some of whom even successfully authored resolutions that were adopted into TMA policy, and I was likewise encouraged by our medical student and resident physicians who already recognize the importance of organized medicine this early in their careers.

The return to normal at the Knoxville Acad-

emy of Medicine is also bringing a calendar packed full of in-person programs and events throughout the remainder of the year, many of which have been postponed and rescheduled multiple times throughout the pandemic. Check out the newly redesigned KAM website at www.knoxvillemedicine.org for a calendar of upcoming events.

Of particular note, I would like to highlight the Knoxville Academy of Medicine’s Vitality Initiative Project (VIP) Kick-off Conference on September 17-18, 2021. Medscape’s 2021 National Physician Burnout & Suicide Report found that 42% of surveyed physicians said they were burned out. This conference is designed to help our community of physicians achieve work-life balance and avoid burnout.

The keynote speaker is Wayne Sotile, PhD, an internationally known expert on physician behavior and resilience. He is the best-selling author of nine books on physician burnout and physician family challenges, including The Medical Marriage and The Resilient Physician.

This is going to be a very timely and extraordinary event, and I highly encourage you to register to attend. The first 100 physician registrants will receive a complimentary copy of Dr. Sotile’s latest book, The Thriving Physician: How to Avoid Burnout by Choosing Resilience Throughout Your Medical Career. Best of all, the event is free for members and their spouses if you register before September 1, 2021!

FINANCIAL NEWS ANSWERING FOUR COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT COVID-19 AND 529 PLANS

By Rhett Lankford, CRC® Vice President FirstBank

Learn how virtual classes, gap years, K-12 expenses and refunds may impact your education savings.

The COVID-19 outbreak has upended normal life across the world, and higher education has been no exception. As many college students responded to the pandemic by taking a gap year (i.e., a year-long break from school) or opting for reduced course loads, you may be wondering what these and other changes could mean for your 529 plan. Fortunately, we’ve got answers.

MY COLLEGE STUDENT IS ENROLLED IN VIRTUAL CLASSES THIS SEMESTER. WHAT EXPENSES ARE COVERED UNDER MY 529 PLAN? Higher education expenses that would normally be covered under a 529 plan also apply to virtual classes. These expenses include tuition, books, school supplies, fees, computer equipment and peripherals. Room and board will also be covered if your student is enrolled at least half time. To explore estimated expenses for an academic year, visit the respective college or university’s cost of attendance page.

IF MY COLLEGE STUDENT TAKES A GAP YEAR OR ENROLLS IN FEWER CLASSES THIS SEMESTER, HOW WOULD IT AFFECT MY EDUCATION SAVINGS? Since 529 plans do not have an expiration date, your funds will be ready when you need them. This means you can resume distributions as you normally would once your student returns to school. If your student has opted for a reduced course load, then tuition, supplies and fees will all be covered by your 529 plan. However, they will need to be enrolled at

least half time for room and board to qualify under your plan. If you have any questions regarding your student’s level of enrollment (partial, half time or full time), contact their educational institution.

I HAVE A K-12 STUDENT. CAN I USE MY 529 PLAN TO PURCHASE A COMPUTER? WHAT ABOUT TUTORING SERVICES? The K-12 provision in 529 plans applies exclusively to tuition expenses. You may use up to $10,000 each year to cover these costs. While K-12 distributions are considered a qualified expense under federal law, not every state treats K-12 distributions in the same manner. To determine how your state treats K-12 distributions, consult with a local tax professional.

I RECEIVED A REFUND FROM MY STUDENT’S SCHOOL. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS? You have several options when it comes to managing amounts refunded by the school. The first is to use the refunded amount toward other qualified education expenses that same calendar year. This will ensure that your 1099 matches the incurred expenses. The second option is to re-contribute the refunded amounts back into the 529 plan within 60 days of the day the school issued the check. This contribution will be counted as a current year contribution. Just remember to safely store documentation of the refund and re-contribution for your records.

Earnings in 529 plans are not subject to federal tax and in most cases state tax, as long as you use withdrawals for eligible education expenses.

However, if you withdraw money from a 529 plan and do not use it on an eligible education expense, you generally will be subject to income tax and an additional 10% federal tax penalty on earnings.

“The Times They Are A Changing” – What Healthcare Providers and Medical Groups Need to Know About Section 1557

KNOXVILLE ACADEMY OF MEDICINE

By Ian Hennessey and Grace Ewell Bob Dylan’s song “The Times They Are A Changing” includes the following memorable lines: The battle outside ragin' Will soon shake your windows and rattle your walls For the times they are a-changin' This is especially true when it comes to the constantly evolving world of healthcare laws and regulations. Issues involving healthcare continue to take center stage in our nation’s political arenas at both the federal and state level. When these political battles find their way into policy, then changes to your practice are sure to follow.

Over the past decade, one such battle has been over the interpretation of Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability under any program or activity, any part of which receives federal financial assistance. In May 2016, the Obama Administration issued regulations interpreting “on the basis of sex” for purposes of Section 1557 to include gender identity and termination of pregnancy.

Shortly thereafter, however, a Texas federal district court issued a decision enjoining the enforcement of these regulations on the basis that this interpretation of “on the basis of sex” violated both the Administrative Procedures Act and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. There were no further substantive developments regarding Section 1557 until June 2020, when the Trump Administration issues its own set of regulations interpreting “on the basis of sex” to mean traditional, biological distinction between male and female and not on the basis of gender identity of termination of pregnancy. Days later, the United States Supreme Court issued a decision in Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia in which the Court held that “on the basis of sex” includes both sexual orientation and gender in the context of employment. In its decision, the Court stated: “It is impossible to discriminate against a person for being homosexual or transgender without discriminating against that individual based on sex.” Shortly after the Bostock opinion was issued, the Trump Administration’s regulations were, in turn, challenged in federal court and subsequently enjoined.

On the day of his inauguration, President Biden issued an executive order implementing the Bostock opinion throughout all federal agencies, including both in the context of employment and in healthcare.

As of the date this article went to press, the Biden Administration has not yet issued new regulations related to Section 1557. Nevertheless, on May 10, 2021, the HHS Office of Civil Rights (“OCR”) issued a “Notification of Interpretation and Enforcement” in which it stated that, consisted with the Bostock opinion, HHS “will interpret and enforce Section 1557’s prohibition on discrimination on the basis of sex to include: (1) discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation; and (2)

KNOXVILLEMEDICINE.ORG

discrimination on the basis of gender identity.” Effective beginning May 10, 2021, “[t]his interpretation will guide OCR in processing complaints and conducting investigations, but does not itself determine the outcome in any particular case or set of facts.”

According to HHS, this interpretation of the anti-discrimination provisions is meant to reduce barriers to care and negative health consequences. Per HHS, research shows that one quarter of LGBTQ people who faced discrimination postponed or avoided receiving needed medical care for fear of further discrimination. HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra noted “fear of discrimination can lead individuals to forgo care, which can have negative health consequences. . . everyone – including LGBTQ people – should be able to access health care, free from discrimination or interference, period.”

In summary, it seems the Biden Administration will eventually release its own regulations regarding Section 1557 interpreting the meaning of “on the basis of sex” consistent with the Bostock opinion as suggested by its Notification of Interpretation and Enforcement from May 2021. In the mean time before any new regulations issued, however, OCR is already enforcing Section 1557 to include sexual orientation and gender identity within the meaning of discrimination “on the basis of sex.”

What should healthcare providers and medical practices do? Here are some key actions you should consider taking sooner rather than later: • Review your policies and procedures with respect to non-discrimination patients to determine if there are any changes that should be made in light of Bostock and the OCR Notification of Interpretation and Enforcement. This also includes forms and other notices you provide to patients.

• Employers should make clear that potential and current employees will not be discriminated against on the basis of their gender identity or sexual orientation.

• Discuss these changes with your staff and incorporate any policy changes into your staff training.

• Healthcare providers should continue to monitor developments, including the issuance of new regulations, to keep up to speed on maintaining compliance.

Times are indeed “a-changing,” but there are steps you can take now to reduce the risk of these changes “shaking your windows and rattling your walls.” For more information regarding the OCR’s interpretation and enforcement guidelines of Section 1557, you can view the HHS Notice at https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/ocr-bostocknotification.pdf.

TECHNOLOGY NEWS Access Community Wide Data Inside your EMR with Integrated Single Sign-On with Patient in Context Lookup by: Leigh Sterling, Executive Director East Tennessee Health Information Network

Streamline Access to etHIN Data by Automating Login and Logout Single Sign-On (SSO) with Patient in Context (PIC) lookup seamlessly enables access to a patient’s medical record in etHIN when you open the patient’s medical record in your EMR system. User authentication happens automatically in the background, keeping the patient in-context, so providers are able to see not only the patient information in their own EMR but also all crosscommunity information that has been submitted to etHIN by other providers. This “behind the scenes” method of automated user authentication eliminates the need for your staff to keep the etHIN portal open and manually enter etHIN login credentials into that portal. The patient data available in etHIN is automatically displayed within your EMR when that patient record is viewed. Information from etHIN is view only, up to date at the time it is viewed, and is not automatically stored in the provider’s EMR. Clinicians are often pressed for time, making them reluctant to leave their EMR systems to search and/or access other systems for information. Implementing etHIN SSO with PIC will allow providers and clinical staff to realize the following benefits:

KAM KNOXVILLE ACADEMY OF MEDICINE

• Up to date, cross-community data from etHIN available within your EMR • Streamlines user access/reduces “clicks” by automating the login and logout process • Improves accessibility of cross-community information available in etHIN • Eliminates the need to log into/keep the etHIN Clinical Viewer Portal open • Reduces the number of passwords providers and staff must remember/manage • Adding/removing etHIN users resides within your practice/facility, reducing administrative processes • No annual etHIN compliance training requirement Because SSO with PIC automates access to the data available in etHIN, participants using SSO have reported a significant increase in the number of HIE patient records accessed by their providers and staffs. Having readily available, up-to-date clinical data from others in the community can assist in providing the best possible care to your patients.

Contact us at 865-691-8433 or Info@etHIN.org today to discuss how SSO with PIC can bring cross-community data into your existing EMR workflows, providing additional information from within your own EMR.

KAMA Corner

By: Carolyn Cates, KAMA President

This spring, the KAMA Philanthropic Fund awarded over $18, 500 to the community in medical and nursing scholarships and funds to support local health-related initiatives. This was done in spite of the limitations due to COVID-19. We were not able to host our two major fundraisers, so we are grateful to our donors and their generosity.

Our Medication Task Force, chaired by Barbara Crist, received a $2000 grant from AHEI. The committee used these funds to purchase copies of Sam Quinones book, Dreamland YAA (Young Adult Adaptation) to distribute to public and private middle schools and high schools in Knox County. By students reading this book, we hope to increase awareness of the impact of the opioid epidemic and its dangers.

The theme for this coming year is: Encourage one another. After the year we all experienced, we felt everyone could use some encouragement. We will continue working out our mission of promoting health education programs that impact the welfare of our community and to encourage friendships among its membership.

Even though summer is a time for vacation, KAMA is busy working through this season. We are excited about co-hosting the KAM/ KAMA Summer Picnic at Zoo Knoxville on July 31. We believe this will be a great opportunity for our families to get together for food, fun and seeing the animals.

Thursday, September 2 will be our first official meeting and our

very own Jenny Bushkell will be our guest speaker. Her topic will be, “Choose Joy.” For those of you KAM members whose wives are not members of KAMA, this would be a great meeting for them to attend as Jenny’s talks are very inspirational. She is the host of her own podcast called Crossroads, as well as hosting a weekly Christian Talk Radio Show by the same name.

The following week, on September 9, KAMA will be hosting the TMAA Update Meeting as TMAA members from across the state gather together for their annual meeting.

The final event I would like to mention is our Starry Night Legacy Gala event on Thursday, October 7 from 7pm-10pm. This is a formal event with hors d’oeuvres to be passed, a beef or vegetarian dinner and a cash bar. There will be music by Mary Ann Fennell, a member of the Knoxville Symphony, and the Dogwood Strings Trio. There will be a Silent Auction as well as a Raise the Paddle to raise money for New Hopewell’s Playground. This is our only formal fundraiser to attend this year. Cost for a ticket is $150. RSVP to Susan Brown at 865691-0394. Sounds like a great event to take your spouse or significant other to!

Thank you, Nancy Sewell, KAMA President 2021-2022
