St. Paul, MN, January 24, 2023 – IC System, a nationally licensed collection agency headquartered in St. Paul, Minnesota, is proud to announce the promotion of Kristina Gursky to Vice President of Healthcare Client Success. Kristina will bring her extensive knowledge of the healthcare industry to this role.

“Kristina came to IC System as a process-improvement, strategy, and business analyst,” observed Joe Erickson, IC System’s Vice President of Human Resources and Client Success. “But most recently, she’s led us in managing IC System’s healthcare clients.”

Kristina has been in the revenue cycle industry since 1999. She joined IC System in 2005 as a National Healthcare Account Manager, after serving as a Healthcare Collections Specialist for Wright Medical Center in Clarion, IA, for over four years. She also maintains close ties to the American Association of Healthcare Administrative Management (AAHAM).

In 2020, Kristina became a member of the AAHAM National Patient Financial Advocate Task Force. Kristina also serves as the President of the MN Gopher Chapter of AAHAM. Additionally, Kristina holds AAHAM Certified Revenue Cycle Professional credentials, her HFMA Certified Revenue Cycle Specialist designation and a degree in Healthcare Administration.

“Ultimately, Kristina is an expert in revenue cycle management,” added Erickson. “And when I say ‘expert,’ I mean it. She is able to understand the complex nature of the healthcare industry. With this new role, she’s going to be helping us push forward our strategic initiatives in the healthcare industry. It’s a big job, but Kristina knows her stuff when it comes to this industry.”

“Collecting past due amounts from patients is a tough job, made even more challenging when working with complex third-party reimbursement rules and increasing industry regulations,” Kristina said. “I’m proud of the work IC System has done to ensure our processes remain compliant, patient-friendly, and solution-oriented while providing first-class service to our healthcare clients and partners. And I am excited to help IC System remain an industry leader in healthcare collection processes as the industry continues to evolve.”

The EU’s MDR delay buys time, but it won’t clear your commissioning bottleneck

The European Commission backed extending EU MDR transition deadlines to December 2027 and December 2028, Medical Design & Outsourcing reported. It buys time, not ramp-up capacity. Design News cites digital commissioning and machine digital twins to cut “power-on” surprises and speed validation and operator training.

  • 01If an EU portfolio includes Class III, December 2027 is now the planning anchor, but the internal gating item may shift to validation capacity and automation readiness, not paperwork.
  • 02Digital commissioning is becoming a procurement spec, not a buzzword, because it lets teams run DFM/DFA learning loops before hardware is built, which Design News notes is meant to reduce machine power-on surprises.

HCA’s Q1 was not about volume. It was about coverage and collecting cash

HCA Healthcare reaffirmed 2026 guidance after Q1 weather and a muted respiratory season cut adjusted EBITDA by about $180 million, according to HealthLeaders and Fierce Healthcare. Payer mix shifted fast. Exchange admissions fell about 15% and uninsured admissions rose about 16%, Fierce reported.

  • 01A mild flu season can be a margin event: HCA tied a 42% drop in respiratory admissions to a roughly $180M adjusted EBITDA hit (HealthLeaders, Fierce Healthcare).
  • 02The 2026 risk is sliding from demand to coverage: HCA cited a $600M–$900M full-year EBITDA headwind from exchange-related changes, with $150M already in Q1 (HealthLeaders, Fierce Healthcare).
  • 03Supplemental payments are becoming an operating capability, not a windfall: HCA said Q1 Medicaid program net benefit was about $200M vs $80M expected (HealthLeaders, Fierce Healthcare), putting state-by-state reimbursement strategy on the CFO’s critical path.

Dental practice exits are turning into multi-year projects, not last-year decisions

Dental practice exits are turning into multi-year projects, not last-year decisions

Associate-led dental practice successions can take 3–5+ years. Dental Economics says associate-to-buyout timelines often run three to five-plus years. That pushes revenue-cycle controls, buy-sell terms, and tax structure earlier, before a buyer appears.

  • 01A practical benchmark is emerging for succession: bringing in an associate with intent to buy can take a minimum of three years and often more than five, according to Dental Economics.
  • 02If accounts receivable looks “high,” it may be a bookkeeping and posting problem before it is a payer problem, a revenue-cycle diagnostic Group Dentistry Now says shows up frequently at scale.
  • 03Exit planning is now an operating system project: valuation, tax positioning, and transition support belong in the same workstream, because deal structure can lock in or foreclose tax options, per Dental Economics.
