Today's riddle: What has a cap but no head? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Billing errors lead to $410K in physician group refunds (beckersphysicianleadership.com) — Low-income patients treated in Overlake Medical Center's Bellevue emergency department will receive about $410,000 in refunds and interest after Puget Sound Physicians failed to return charity-care overpayments. Under a state agreement, the group must mail checks within 120 days and follow charity-care rules going forward, which could mean unexpected money back and stronger billing protections for Bellevue-area patients.
• With several transportation options, Seattle is easy and affordable for visitors to navigate (adn.com) — New light-rail service now carries riders across Lake Washington directly to Bellevue and on to Redmond, giving locals and visitors a cheaper alternative to driving and parking. The piece walks you through using ORCA cards, airport connections, and regional buses, ferries, and floatplanes so you can explore downtown Seattle, the waterfront, and nearby attractions without relying on a car.
• Viral video appears to show suspected ICE vehicles chasing van on I-405 (king5.com) — A dramatic video captured what appear to be ICE vehicles chasing a white van on I-405 in Bellevue, just a day after a memo barred such pursuits by certain ICE officers. Bellevue Police say their officers weren't involved, and ICE hasn't confirmed who the agents were or whether the chase followed policy, leaving key safety and accountability questions unanswered for local drivers.
