Have you done a financial well checkup for your pediatric practice? Read PCC's blog on the critical areas to focus on.
"Auditing what services your practice offers and its revenue opportunities provides a clear starting point to begin examining your practice’s pricing. In 2021, the definition of RVUs and their value for E&M codes were changed. One of the fundamental changes that pediatricians haven’t yet grasped is that the RVUs of E&Ms has increased so much that it has lowered revenue in other specialties. By not updating your prices to reflect 2021 RVU values for E&Ms, your practice will be leaving money on the table when insurance payors flip to the new valuing system."

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) proposes expanding #telehealth reimbursement for mental and behavioral health services. Read more here.
"CMS wants to pay providers when they give certain mental or behavioral health services to patients via audio-only telehealth calls, but only when certain conditions are met. This would include counseling and therapy for opioid treatment.
The spending package removed geographic restrictions that could be a barrier to telehealth services for mental health."

The AAP addresses fever in newborns and has treatment recommendations for pediatricians.
"About 14 out of every 1,000 healthy infants born full term develop a fever during the ages 8 days to 60 days old, according to the AAP. More than 10% of febrile infants are diagnosed with a urinary tract infection. The likelihood of a more invasive bacterial infection is much lower, with fewer than .05% of infants developing meningitis, the most serious infection. Some other infections in young infants include pneumonia, sepsis, and gastroenteritis."
