The Year of Change

So 2013 starts with new CPT codes and quickly moves into PQRS medicare reporting. What a start. But what is next?

By mid year we will have a new and troubling DSM 5 to learn and struggle with. We will have the Health Insurance Exchange introduced and by 2014 they  will add one million new insurance participants. We are getting new and often lower reimbursement rates from many insurance companies.

All this and pt centered medical homes and Accountable Care Organizations requiring integrated care models.

Never have we been so challenged to adjust to so many changes in such a short time.

Welcome to 2013.
