I feel a little like Jane Goodall sometimes, out in the jungle to observe and understand these magnificent creatures, all in an effort to preserve their way of life. She, of course, was focused on chimpanzees. I am focused on pediatricians. I also gi...
I've heard a lot of dramatic stories about the swing in pediatric visit demand over the last six months. For the third year in a row, our clients have gotten run over by an early-fall rush to their practices followed by a massive dive after the holid...
Welcome to the free 2023 RVU Calculator. As you may know, the AMA won’t let anyone freely distribute an RVU calculator that includes CPT codes without signing a limiting and expensive licensing agreement. In an abundance of caution and, because in ou...
Every year, I analyze the impact of the RVU changes on pediatricians. Why? Because what the Feds do each year has a profound, downstream effect on pediatricians. Going through this process is also how I figured out what was happening with immunizatio...
On Saturday, October 8 at 7pm in Platinum Ballroom 6 at the 2022 AAP NCE, the AAP will screen Virulent: The Vaccine War Documentary, a film by Tjardus Greidanus and Laura Davis.

HRH Dr. Suzanne Berman shared the great and interesting news that the AAP has lobbied successfully to get the RVU valuations for immunization admins corrected. [I've written about this in the past.] You can read the gory details at https://public-ins...
I had a great time speaking to Drs. Bravo and Rogu on their growing podcast, The Pediatric Lounge, to discuss the state of independent pediatricians and the use of data in a pediatric practice.

What they are doing takes a tremendous amount of work and their guest list is amazing (well, besides me). They turned our conversation into back-to-back episodes (32 and 33), "Independent Pediatric Practice 2022" and "Data Data Data and Managing a Pediatric Office." If you prefer video, you catch up on their YouTube channel.
