Just last week, the Feds finally posted the 2024 RVUs in the official spot I like to retrieve them from - I don't know why they were so late, we even had to write to them to see what the delay was. No response, yet, but POOF! they appeared.
When we last tuned in, I shared some data about what looks like an explosion of strep diagnoses among our clients. Starting in October of 2022 and running through May (even June), the level of strep out in the wild had reached unprecedented levels. T...
Last month, I opened a quick survey to try to learn more about the "state of pediatric bookkeeping." This quote from the survey describes how most of you feel: I don't understand any of it and feel at such a loss relying on other people! I just want ...

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.
