QUESTION: We are a TPA that administers claims for many self-insured group health plans. We have a business associate contract with each plan. Sometimes, a plan instructs us to send claims information, which includes protected health information (PHI), to another business associate of the plan, such as a claims auditor or a medical reviewer. Can we do this if we do not have a contractual relationship with the other business associate?

Notices are a way for taxing jurisdictions to get in touch with you. Monitoring and responding to notices as well as making the corresponding adjustments or taking the prescribed actions is one of the many pieces of your sales tax compliance process.

My contention is that it is very difficult to beat the market and that the nonprofessional investor is best sticking to index funds. There are a lot of reasons for this and also a lot of “definitions” about which index is the right or most appropriate in a given situation.

Divorces and child support cases often focus heavily on financial issues. Whether the parties to a case are of modest means or great wealth, both sides want their own version of what is fair. Unfortunately, this can lead one or both parties to hide income and assets.

“People may hear your words, but they feel your attitude.” – John Maxwell. Many think accounting and being a CPA is a number business. A number career. A career for a math whiz. Wrong! It is a people business. I remember an extremely knowledgeable CPA tax advisor who told me he just loved to work on taxes and figure out challenging situations but when faced with meeting with a client, in person, his stomach began to ache.
