n a day or so, I'm going to do an interesting followup on our examination of the impact of the economy on pediatric practices, so something related to tide you over
Meanwhile…the 99174. Eye screening. Associated with those fancy in-office money making machines. I’ve had a handful of folks ask for details - how often do our clients use it? How much do they get paid?
I was going to write about the 99174 (tomorrow!), but Katy @ PCC wrote this great piece and I thought I’d share it. It’s a message we sent to our clients (aren’t we sweet?).
I forgot to mention last week that I updated the Build Your Own RVU calculator for 2009. You can find it and the instructions in the PedSource library.
I am, again, in the back of the room at our Coding and Practice management event and listening to Dr. Tuck. I have to steal a line or two from him, he’s got some good ones. Dr. Lander is next.
This is the kind of news that is too much at the cross section of the things that interest me that I can't pass up sharing it. Now, if only I can get Iron Maiden to do a flu shot PSA, I'll be set.
I've taken the last week or so off and, technically, I am still off asI sit at home in the kitchen to help keep the new puppy company. I havesome long overdue content to get out, but I'll toss up these gems fornow.
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. They are cranking out episodes (which is a good thing) and anyone who supports independent pediatricians should tune in to their effort. 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.
