Provider forums coming to a town near you

As you read this article, we’re planning and scheduling the next set of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network provider forums. As we work through the details, be sure to check next month’s issue of The Record for dates, times, registration information and topics.

This year, the morning sessions will have content specifically geared toward physician office staff who are responsible for closing quality measures and coding gaps. These sessions will also look at the overall patient experience. Topics will include:

Patient experience
Coding and documentation
HEDIS^® measures

Afternoon sessions will be suited toward all office personnel and will cover topics like:

New provider service model
eviCore and prior authorizations
eReferral
The opioid epidemic
Behavioral Health
Updates for Provider Enrollment and Data Management and PARS (provider automated response system)

These forums are well received and provide valuable information to keep your staff up to date on the latest information. If you haven’t been to one yet be sure to check your April issue of The Record and plan to attend. We look forward to seeing you.
