Spillin' Tea Across America: Colorado

🎙️ Hosts: Shannen & Nyleen

The tea is steeped at 5,280 feet — and honey, it is scalding. ☕🔥 

Welcome to the Colorado edition of Spillin’ Tea Across America. 

Shannen Reyes-Aguayo and Nyleen Flores take the stage to unpack a series of medical failures that feel less like a routine day in healthcare and more like a dark Broadway tragedy — with real patients paying the price. 

In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the now-infamous “Music Bingo” scandal: a routine cataract surgery that turned fatal while an anesthesiologist was reportedly distracted by a game on his phone. We also dive into the decade-long masquerade of a “fake doctor” who operated body-scan clinics across Colorado for years — without a single valid credential. 

And that’s just the opening act. 

What’s behind the curtain:
• The Bingo Indictment: A 2026 update on felony charges shaking the OR
• The Legislative Trap: Why Colorado’s HB24-1004 means MSPs can no longer rely on a “clean” license alone
• The $556M Receipt: How alleged upcoding habits led to one of the largest healthcare settlements in state history
• The Non-Compete Death Knell: What SB25-083 means for provider contracts heading into 2026 

This episode is a masterclass in what happens when credentialing gaps, cultural rot, and weak oversight collide. 

Whether you’re an MSP trying to keep your binder from bursting into flames, or a provider determined to stay on the right side of the law, this is your survival guide to the Colorado medical landscape. 

We don’t do vibes.
 We do receipts. ☕🔥
