AMA PATH: Strengthening the Physician Practice's Financial Health (Webinar)

Meeting Description:

In today’s economy and with the increasingly frequent governmental and private payer audits, physicians need to be especially diligent in implementing financial and coding safeguards for their practices. Because doing so can be difficult for many smaller physician practices, the American Medical Association (AMA) has created a groundbreaking, online application that helps physicians develop an effective and defensible fee schedule, and coding and billing analysis safeguards — without hiring an expensive consultant.

Topic covered — attendees will learn about:

• The impact of the UnitedHealthGroup UCR Settlement on physician practices.
• Establishing a well-developed and maintained, practice-specific fee schedule.
• Using a sound methodology to develop a practice-specific fee schedule that includes practice costs.
• How AMA’s new Practice Analysis Tools for Healthcare (AMA PATH™) helps physicians prepare for audits by analyzing their individual coding and billing patterns and comparing them against national averages by specialty.
