1:00pm – 5:00pm             Preparing Your Practice to Thrive in a Value-Based Reimbursement Environment
                                         Speaker:  Eric Christensen
 

Topics:

  • Overview of the new Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS)
    • The First 90 Days – How has it been working in the real world?
  • Keeping pace with CMS Mandates and Regulatory Compliance.
    • Updates to CMS driven by new administration oversight. Current ACA mandates and their impact on your practice and reimbursements.
  • Engaging providers and staff in the new objectives. How you can help to influence their behavior to improve practice profitability and overall compliance.
 
 

Join Eric in an engaging discussion with your colleagues on how these new objectives will influence your practice, your providers, and your staff. With time on our side, we can learn from how others are meeting the new mandates, overcoming obstacles, and thriving in the new era of value based payments, from real world examples.
