Plan to attend our 2020 provider symposiums

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network’s 2020 provider symposiums, A Treatment for Success, are scheduled to begin in late April and early May.

The morning session is targeted to physician office staff responsible for closing gaps related to quality measures and the importance of a positive patient experience. Topics include:

  • The latest information about HEDIS® updates to close gaps in care, Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems, and the Health Outcomes Survey.
  • Why patient experience matters. The impact to your patients and your office and what you can do to focus on, and improve, patient experience and satisfaction.

The afternoon session will be for coders, billers and administrative staff. It will cover:

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

These forums provide crucial information to keep your staff up to date on the latest developments.
