How about "Cure from CMS" ?

and any other payors that superimpose rules that are above our Practice Acts?

The AMA released a campaign today called Cure for Claims complete with a report card

Per AMA Board Member William Dolan, “The goal…is to hold health insurance companies accountable for making claims processing more cost-effective and transparent….eliminating the inefficiencies of the billing and collection process would produce significant savings that could be better used to enhance patient care and help reduce overall health care costs…”

Amen!

I love their report card and the metrics that it measured and believe they are consistent in the PT world.  The adherence to contracted rate ranges from 61% (United)to 98% (Medicare).

Thoughts?
