• 2018 CPT updates and coding scenarios for primary care physicians and specialists

• HEDIS® measures

Afternoon sessions will be geared toward all office personnel and will cover such topics as:

• New provider service model
• eviCore and prior authorizations
• eReferral
• The opioid epidemic
• Behavioral health
• Updates for Provider Enrollment and Data Management, or PEDM, and the Provider Automated Response System, or PARS

Here’s the schedule of events:

• Registration begins at 7:30 a.m.
• The morning session starts at 8 a.m. and includes a continental breakfast.
• The afternoon session begins at noon, includes lunch and ends at 4 p.m.

You can register for the full day or choose to attend just the morning or afternoon session.

These forums provide valuable information to keep your staff up to date on the latest developments. We look forward to seeing you soon.
