As you may know, I am on the CCHIT Child Health Workgroup. My participation is related, I believe, to my criticism of the certification and it’s misuse. But if you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem, so there I am on the workgrou...
No, I didn’t make it. I’ll chalk it up to not quite fitting to mold of a typical pediatric blog. But “Nursing Assistant Central,” whomever they are (there is no way to contact them on their WWW site), compiled this useful list. They did some real res...
At the AAP-endorsed Pediatric Coding and Practice Management events we’ve been hosting, I’ve slipped in a running piece about pediatric compensation models that gets fairly good reception. Practices are eager to learn about how other practices pay th...
The AAP has updated and revised its RBRVS policy statement and it is included in December's Pediatrics. Yours truly provides the full PDF here, as it remains the best description of the state of RVUs and pediatrics (thanks Siousxie and the COCN). A G...
OK, overdue, but done. Here's what I did...I took the top 40 RVU-valid CPT codes that our clients have performed over the last 12 months and fit them into an overall model comparing the 2008 Transitioned Non-Facility Rates to the 2009 Transitioned No...
Over on PedTalk, Dr. Gewanter made a valiant attempt to post a copy of the Austim Speaks tool kit recently posted on their site. Until I can figure out how to let folks slip files into their posts on the new PedSource site, I’ll just gleefully post t...
I’m in the midst of some fun RVU analysis and I realized that I’d better get this announcement out stat! It’s just like our other PM/Coding events, though the AAP endorsement hasn’t happened yet (it should be a week or two). Sign up quickly, as we ex...
I was privileged to receive a notice from the AAP’s Inner Sanctum about the recently released updates to our friendly RVU system and am sharing it below. Over the next few days, I will post some pediatric / RVU data relating to the updates that you c...
I've had a busy summer and just wrapped up my time at the Florida AAP chapter's "Future of Pediatrics" annual event. Thank you to those who stopped by to say hello! In a few short weeks, it will be time for the 2024 Pediatric CEO event, which I'm really excited for. I think there are a few seats left. I write, however, to draw your attention to two free resources that every pediatric practice should have bookmarked!
