Navigating the No Surprises Act: Ensuring Compliance and Transparency
Laura Watkins, FACMPE, CPC – Senior Medical Practice Consultant, SVMIC

Navigating the No Surprises Act: Ensuring Compliance and Transparency

The No Surprises Act (NSA) is a crucial piece of legislation aimed at shielding individuals from unexpected medical bills. It specifically prohibits balance billing in certain scenarios and aims to provide greater transparency regarding the costs of medical services. However, the Act is complex, and its implementation has posed significant challenges.

Time: 12PM- 1PM

For MetroCare members and staff only. 1 hour CEU available

2027: Understanding the Official Coding Guidelines for ICD-10-CM Coding OCT 14
Lunch program

Presented by: Karen Scott, MEd, RHIA, CCS-P, CPC, FAHIMA

If you code your own encounters, this one hour program is especially for you.

These guidelines are rules, often overlooked, that have been developed to complement official coding conventions and instructions provided within ICD-10-CM itself.

Adherence to these guidelines when assigning ICD-10-CM diagnostic codes is required under HIPAA.

Join us for a discussion of these rules underlying the use of the codes and instructions within the main body of the manual. For those who have never read the guidelines, it can be an illuminating experience. It is a great review and update for those familiar with coding and coding rules.

Date:               Wednesday, OCT 14   OR Wednesday. OCT 21

Time:                12:15 p.m.

Location:        Online. Web link and handout will be sent one day prior to the event.

**This series of in-service courses is open only to participating MetroCare Physicians members and their staff.

HR Do’s & Don’ts
Gretchen Napier, MSHA, SHRM-SCP, FACMPE – Senior Medical Practice Consultant, SVMIC

HR Do's & Don'ts

Human resources are one of the most time consuming and frustrating aspects of a manager’s responsibilities. One misstep can lead to a discrimination claim or fine. At the very least, an environment where employees feel the rules are not consistently followed impacts performance and morale. In this session, we provide an overview of the HR basics every manager needs.

Date: Thursday October 22

Time: 12PM- 1PM

For MetroCare members and staff only. 1 hour CEU available
