Overview:   We will review the various elements of the physician employment agreement, focusing on the pitfalls and the problems that can develop when the agreement does not clearly define the relationship, and/or when the parties do not fully understand what is being agreed to. Such items as term and termination, termination for cause, duties of the physician, call, non-compete, and compensation are all items that should be clearly set out in the agreement and fully understood by the parties. Why should you attend: Formal written contracts establish the legal relationship between the parties; they state the terms and conditions of that relationship and the rights and obligations of each party. They confirm the intentions and relationships of the parties as they enter into this relationship, and they eliminate uncertainties regarding mutual rights, obligations, and relationships. If everything remained as it is at the time the agreement is signed, there would be little need for formal documents. However, the agreement serves to protect against future disputes. Therefore, it should include as precise language as possible. Ambiguous terms in agreements are of little effect when disputes occur over the meaning of a party's rights or obligations. You should attend to gain an understanding of what should and what should not be in a physician employment agreement.

Overview: This webinar will cover the changes to the PQRS program in 2016 and will provide tips and strategies to help you select the best measures and reporting approach for your practice. Why should you Attend: Your future Medicare payments are at risk. Failing to report quality measures to CMS for Calendar Year 2016 will result in a reduction of up to 6% in your 2018 Medicare payments. The PQRS program carries a potential 2% penalty for each provider who does not report quality measures to CMS - physicians, mid-level providers, therapists, psychologists, social workers, even dieticians. In addition, if your practice has physicians and mid-levels, at least half the physicians must meet the PQRS requirements or the group will face an additional 2-4% penalty from the Value Based Modifier program. Areas Covered in the Session: Understand the difference between a reporting rate and a performance rate? Get access to useful tools to help you identify measures applicable to your specialty. Learn how to choose among the various reporting approaches - what are the pros and cons of each. Understand how CMS will evaluate your submission if you report less than 9 measures.
