Remind me, again, which of the almost 2-dozen 'telemedicine' codes can only be done by a physician (vs. a qualified non-physician)? Which ones can't be used if an E&M has been billed in the last seven days? Or if a decision is made to schedule ...
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 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...
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 holi...

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-in...
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.
