Healthcare providers remain at the front of a rapidly evolving patient care delivery system. Amidst the surges in the Public Health Emergency, the administrative requirements of our healthcare enterprises continue to demand teamwork among providers. With adherence to compliance guidelines, demonstrating quality provider care and closing gaps in patient care, providers can access incentives to improve reimbursements and maximize Medicare and Medicaid incentive dollars.
The Physician Services Summer Symposium will be led by the QHR Health Physician Services Team and experts in the industry who will provide practical knowledge to navigate quality reporting requirements and substantiate value-based reimbursement. Participants will learn tools to improve operations through software utilization, enhance quality and compliance, and optimize coding to actualize higher reimbursement. Discussions will deliver insights into payer contractual relationships, address technology challenges, and how to manage team members in a stress-filled healthcare environment.
The session will also include best practices around common challenges in the physician practices and emerging trends in practice operations. The Summer Symposium will conclude with a roundtable discussion led by QHR Health Physician Services leaders, discussing topics of interest shared by the participants.
The symposium will be an in-person conference held at the QHR Health Conference Center in Brentwood, Tennessee.
Topics will include:
- Medicare Advantage quality incentive programs
- Payer contracts and Rural Health Clinics (RHC)
- Provider coding and documentation
- Incident-to guidance related to Physicians, Physician Assistants and Nurse Practitioners
