Reimbursement Impacts in Shifting Times (How to Best Protect Your Practice)

Too many practices are facing reimbursement issues never before seen. Many have had to give money back under Meaningful Use for not successfully demonstrating compliance. Practices also face penalties for not reporting on other measures under PQRS and Value Based Modifier. If you don’t get prepared now, future audits and programs under the Affordable Care Act could end up penalizing your practice even more. Future success depends on optimizing coding, documentation and reporting of all measures.

Learn how four hot button topics spawned by the Affordable Care Act effect coders, billers, auditors, practice managers and compliance professionals in the current healthcare landscape: Value-based payment modifier, Meaningful Use, Hierarchical Condition Coding (HCC), and Physician Quality Reporting Standards (PQRS). Learn how MIPS will change the current requirements. This workshop is a must for practice managers, compliance officers, coders and billers.
