DESCRIPTION:Commonly Confused Modifiers: Common Scenarios of Misuse and How to Use Them Properly\nDate & Time: Tuesday\, September 20\, 2022  |  11:00am — 12:00pm CDT\nPresented by: RevCycle Partners billing experts\n \nDescription: \nWhen a medical claim is a denied\, one of the first things to check for is a missing or misused modifier combination.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Execute To Win ~ 9:00am Pacific/12:00pm Eastern
DESCRIPTION:Execute To Win\nDate & Time: Wednesday\, July 27\, 2022 | 9:00am — 10:00am PT\nPresented by: Chad Fleming OD\, FAAO\, CEO & Owner at Wichita Optometry\nSponsored by: Weave \n  \nCourse Description: \n\n\n\n\nGroupthink is a common problem that arises from the lack of outside input and a continual thought process that is neither challenged or recreated. It occurs when optometrists meet with other optometrists who meet with consultants within optometry. Like minded individuals run the risk of groupthink pitfalls. We must be different and think beyond optometry to save our practices from slowly eroding profit margins. \nIn this webinar we will focus on: \n\nWhat should you be focusing on in your practice to be more profitable?\nDoes it make sense to look outside optometry and capitalize in the optical by utilizing an “in-house” brand? If so\, is it easy to do?\nIs the investment in patient engagement software worth it? If so\, what do you look for?\nHow do you make more money without working even harder than you already do?\nHow do you get some time back in your life?\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER NOW \n\nAbout Your Presenter\nChad Fleming OD\, FAAO\, CEO & Owner at Wichita Optometry \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Fleming graduated from Northeastern State University Oklahoma College of Optometry in 2002. Upon graduating he went into private practice and is now CEO of a 9 doctor 5-location practice\, Wichita Optometry\, in Wichita\, KS. Along with practicing optometry\, Dr. Fleming has worked as a consultant for Rev360\, illuma\, Weave\, JJVC\, iMatrix\, SolutionReach\, AOAExcel\, and he is the founder of OptometryCEO and Partners In Profit. He has been featured in numerous professional journals and The Wall Street Journal. When Dr. Fleming is not involved in optometry he spends time with his wife of 25 years and their 3 children.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Preparing for New Rules that Prevent Information Blocking and Enable Payer Access to All of Your Clinical Data ~ 9:00am Pacific/12:00pm Eastern
DESCRIPTION:Preparing for New Rules that Prevent Information Blocking and Enable Payer Access to All of Your Clinical Data\nDate & Time: Tuesday\, June 28\, 2022 | 9:00am — 10:00am PT\nPresented by: James E. Grue\, OD\, Director of Analytics and Healthcare Reform Consultant at Healthcare Registries\, LLC\n \n  \nCourse Description: \n\n\n\n\nThis webinar will discuss how PECAA is supporting a number of initiatives started by ASOA (American Society of Ophthalmic Administrators). These are initiatives that will help both Optometrists and Ophthalmologists prepare for the biggest single transformation of healthcare in the history of the country. In order to meet the new information blocking rules and enforcement guidelines put in place by the 21st Century Cures Act\, after October 6\, 2022 your EHR system has to make all of the information in your certified EHR available to any organization the patients authorizes to have the information\, any other provider involved in the care of the patient\, and any payor that covers exams for your patients. \nThese changes will affect virtually every part of your practice\, but there are two areas of immediate importance for which you should be preparing. The first is how you send the required post-op reports when you co-manage cataract surgery. The other is understanding the quality indicator analytics payers will be generating on your practice. \nThis webinar will help you understand what to expect and how you can take control of the data that you will soon be sharing with many other providers\, organizations and payers that have never had access to your unfiltered patient information in the past. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER NOW \n\nAbout Your Presenter\nJames E. Grue\, OD\, Director of Analytics and Healthcare Reform Consultant  at Healthcare Registries\, LLC \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFull time consultant in healthcare reform since 2006. Appointed 2022 member of KeyHIE Steering Committee. Current American representative on the HL7 International Ophthalmic Committee mapping eye care data to FHIR. Co-Author of Project CLARE through HL7. Frequent lecturer at ONC and HL7 meetings. Consultant to numerous EHRs regarding interoperability standards. Co-founder of Healthcare Registries\, LLC.
