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 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 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.
