A new North Carolina law is changing how the state handles involuntary mental health commitments, expanding treatment options and requiring state agencies to develop new behavioral health programs to keep people connected to care longer.

The legislation doubles the maximum length of court-ordered outpatient treatment from 90 days to 180 days. It also expands the use of telehealth evaluations, increases access to mobile crisis units and strengthens connections to mental health care.

The weight we carry isn't always seen,
In quiet rooms and spaces in between.
A heavy mind, a heart that feels too full,
Caught in the quiet, overwhelming pull.

But you are here, still breathing through the night,
Still stepping forward, reaching for the light.
Your story matters, every word and tear,
Your voice is vital, and you belong right here.

So breathe it out, the pressure and the pain,
The sun returns after the heaviest rain.
Reach out a hand, or let a hand hold yours,
Healing is a journey, opening new doors.

You do not have to face the storm alone,
In every heart, a gentle strength is grown.
Today we stand, together and awake,
For every mind, and every step we take.

You can't move forward without analyzing the past and data analytics is what helps a business grow.

I am very pleased with these results. They show that the overwhelming majority of claims were processed without requiring resubmission and that EMB maintained strong billing performance even through a significant payer transition.

"For the period of September 19, 2025 through September 19, 2026, EMB had an overall claim resubmission rate of just 3.04%, representing approximately a 97% first-pass rate. For comparison, the North Carolina benchmark data we reviewed reflects an accepted claim rate of approximately 90%. Overall, these results demonstrate strong billing accuracy and claim performance during the review period.

It is also important to note what is—and is not—included in the 3.04% resubmission rate. This report captures claims requiring resubmission due to inaccurate or incomplete information within the patient record. Claims denied because of an EMB billing or insurance submission error are corrected by EMB at no additional charge to the client and therefore are not reflected as billable resubmissions in this report.

The monthly analysis showed temporary increases in resubmissions, particularly around March and May. These increases correspond with the transition from WellCare to Carolina Complete and appear consistent with the operational changes during that period. Even with those temporary increases, EMB maintained an approximately 97% first-pass rate across the full 12-month period."

As someone with CPTSD, I have found comfort in knowing that the same mental capacity I had to learn became something I could adapt and place structure around. These are just a few things that have helped me in business management.

Pattern recognition: connecting information across documents, conversations, timelines, and data.

Contingency thinking: automatically considering “What happens if this goes wrong?” and building backup plans.

Attention to detail: noticing small discrepancies that could become larger problems.

Reading interpersonal dynamics: picking up on tone, tension, hesitation, or changes in behavior.

Persistence: being accustomed to functioning through difficult circumstances can produce considerable endurance.

Independent problem-solving: learning to find another route when the obvious route fails.

Preparation: anticipating questions, objections, and possible outcomes before an important meeting or negotiation.

If you can find a way to see things through a different perspective, you might find that your story is much narrower. At the heart, you have survived everything that was meant to destroy you--so take that chance. Bet on yourself. 🧜‍♀️🧞‍♀️
