Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.

#109 - AI & HIPAA Compliance: What’s Allowed, What’s Risky, and How to Do It Right

A practical look at where AI fits in healthcare, and where it should not.

Ray Walters and Jose Delgado Jr. keep the conversation practical, rooted in healthcare consulting and mental telehealth rather than big promises.

#99 - How to Keep Coding Mistakes from Becoming Compliance Nightmares

A blunt, practical look at how coding mistakes can become compliance exposure.

The episode treats an internal coding audit like a pressure test for the whole back office. It moves through billing mistakes, note patterns, and compliance risk without losing sight of the practical stakes.

#106 - Beware of the Breach: HIPAA’s Naughty List Returns (Halloween Edition)

A blunt look at breach risk and the plain controls that keep it from becoming your problem.

#119 - Smart Start in Healthcare: HR Onboarding + Compliance Essentials

Onboarding gets treated like a risk control problem, and that is the point.

Healthcare onboarding is treated here as a risk control issue, not a paperwork chore. Ray Walters and Jose Delgado Jr. keep circling the same point: if expectations are loose at the start, accountability gets muddy later.

#105 - 2026 Playbook: Noncompete, Prior Auth & Medicare Fee Schedule

Compliance gets practical when non-competes meet Medicare fee schedule math.
