[Announcement] Helping Small Practices Prepare for the Quality Payment Program
The Quality Payment Program is proposed to implement the new, bipartisan law changing how Medicare pays clinicians, known as the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA). On June 20, HHS announced $ 20 million to fund on-the-ground training and education for Medicare clinicians in individual or small group practices of 15 clinicians or fewer. These funds will help provide hands-on training tailored to small practices, especially those that practice in historically under-resourced areas including rural areas, health professional shortage areas, and medically underserved areas.
As required by MACRA, HHS will continue to award $ 20 million each year over the next five years, providing $ 100 million in total to help small practices successfully participate in the Quality Payment Program. In order to receive funding, organizations must demonstrate their ability to strategically provide customized training to clinicians. And, most importantly, these organizations will provide education and consultation about the Quality Payment Program at no cost to the clinician or their practice. Awardees will be announced by November 2016.

Looking for experienced ortho coder for small coding project, $50 – ASAP
As I said, it is a very small project, but I am willing to pay $ 50 total to get this project completed (basically, write up the codes on a CMS 1500 form for each of the 2 days). It can certainly be done remotely as I can send you the necessary files HIPAA-secure electronically. I am looking to get this done as soon as possible. If you have the requisite experience as an ortho coder and are interested in the project, I would appreciate you sending your resume to me at [email protected]. You can also email me at that address if you have any other questions.
You would have to sign a BA, as well.
Thank you very much.
