Bert,
As I posted a long time ago. We tell our patients that it is inappropriate and bad medicine attempting to Dx and or treat them over the phone. Furthermore, if they are still testy about it, I explain to them that there are codes that we could use to phone consults and the like, but that almost no insurance plan in the country pays for them, because of their own stupid reasoning. We could use such codes, but in the end they the end customer would almost certainly end up being responsible for such charges; SO, we are actually trying to do you a favor by having an office visit with you so at least your insurance will hopefully pay what they should for a standard office visit. That last part usually gets them re-adjusted if the first part didn't.
Al and Committee,
What about the idea of having Al give his CCHITT presentation at the ACAC??? And perhaps we could have this with Jon and one or two of his development team at least on panel for a post presentation conversation as to what is means to us and to AC as our Vendor? Roy are you listening out there??? I think this is an issue that has generated a lot of interest (be it mostly negative) here on the board. I for one would love to hear AC's perspective on it and what their short, mid, and long terms plans and thoughts are on it. I say keep your friends close and your enemies even closer, right?
What say all of you? Roy I think you must be part of something like this please. Al?
