Provider forums kick off in May

As you read in The Record last month, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network’s 2018 provider forums will be held from May through June at various locations across the state.

The morning sessions will have content specifically geared to physician office staff who are responsible for closing gaps related to quality measures and coding. A special morning presentation on understanding the patient experience will be targeted to office managers and staff.

Topics for the morning sessions will include:

  • The patient experience — why it’s important to your practice and how you can improve it
  • HEDIS® measures
  • 2018 CPT updates and coding scenarios for primary care physicians and specialists

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

  • New provider service model
  • Authorizations
  • e-referral
  • The opioid epidemic
  • Behavioral health
  • Updates for Provider Enrollment and Data Management and the Provider Automated Response System

Here’s the schedule of events:

  • Registration begins at 7:30 a.m.
  • The morning session starts at 8 a.m., includes a continental breakfast and ends at 11:30 a.m.
  • 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.
