We’re rescheduling some of our provider symposium sessions, providing registration links

Due to the public health emergency caused by the outbreaks of COVID-19, we’re rescheduling some of the dates of our upcoming provider symposiums. See end of this article for the revised dates and registration links.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network’s 2020 provider symposiums, A Prescription for Success, are scheduled to begin in June.  

What’s included
The morning sessions are targeted to physician office staff responsible for closing gaps related to quality measures and creating a positive patient experience. Topics include:

• The latest information about HEDIS^® updates to close gaps in care, the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems surveys and the Health Outcomes Survey
• Why patient experience matters: The importance of convenience to your patients, the effect on patients and your office, and how to focus on, measure and improve patient experience and satisfaction 

The afternoon sessions are for coders, billers and administrative staff. Topics include:

• New coding guidelines for evaluation and management visits
• Scenarios
• Coding tips

New this year: Nurses, in addition to coders, will receive continuing education credits for attending the sessions.

Schedule of events:

• Registration begins at 8 a.m.
• The morning session starts at 8:30 a.m. (except in Marquette where the schedule will be 30 minutes later) and ends at 11:30 a.m. It includes a continental breakfast.
