# Convergence of Friends

April 3, 2007

[practice management](https://chipsblog.pcc.com/tag/practice-management), [events](https://chipsblog.pcc.com/tag/events)

[Physician’s Practice](http://www.physicianspractice.com/) just ran [this](http://www.physicianspractice.com/articles/bigger-picture-contract-change-what-contract-change) article [may be broken]. It’s a real treat for me because, once Dr. Stoller does her presentation about [Ghana](http://ourchildreninternational.org/) at our [2007 Users’ Conference](http://www.pcc.com/events), then all three of the principles of the article - Pam Moore, Dr. Stoller, and [Susanne Madden](http://www.theverdengroup.com/) - have given presentations at our UC!

Small world.

The article itself will frustrate anyone who works in this business. We already know how [Oxford](http://www.oxhp.com/), et al, cheat. It’s remarkable, though, because people are finally starting to make these things known the public. I am hoping, meanwhile, that Pam Moore follows up with more focus on the non-fee schedule parts of the changes the inscos make. Yes, the fee schedule is important but, in 2007, it’s a smaller piece than ever (oooh, double meaning).
