Modeling Medicare 2021 Proposed Changes Using Analytics for Better Outcomes

Learn how data analytics can predictively model Medicare 2021 proposed changes and assist practices in forecasting and planning.

On August 3, 2020, CMS released its annual proposed rule changes to the Physician Fee Schedule for 2021. The changes include an increase in RVU valuation and payments for common E&M Codes, and an expanded list of approved telehealth services. However, due to budget neutrality requirements, the proposed RVU conversion factor decreases. Medical groups and practices need to understand – now – the potential impact these changes will have on their financial health and viability.

Highlights:
- Understanding the practice’s Medicare population by volume and service mix
- Illustrating the impact of the changes in E/M Services vs. other procedures
- Modeling the revised Physician Fee Schedule against historic utilization by Specialty
- Predicting how the revised CMS fee schedule could modify rates from commercial contracts

Anyone who manages Revenue Cycle, Reimbursement, Physician Compensation or Productivity will find the content of this webinar extremely beneficial.
