Today, I share a memo from the Federal Affairs desk of the AAP that pediatricians and their staff should consider. Normally, I gloss over stuff like this (admit it, you do, too), but the comments Obama has made about child health are important and I ...
The very first blog I ever wrote was about one client's fight with an HMO. Now, more than two years later, I continue the battle. Look at this funny message I received today, edited for brevity and privacy:
I forgot to mention last week that I updated the Build Your Own RVU calculator for 2009. You can find it and the instructions in the PedSource library.
I’ve said more than once that the AAP is the first place pediatricians should go to learn about RVUs. They have updated it and you can now find their 2009 RBRVS Conversion Spreadsheet on-line. I got to help out by making a little change to the sheet ...
