Are you ready for Pay-for-Performance (P4P)?

Since the 1999 report, “To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System” was published by the Institute of Medicine there has been an intense focus on improving the quality of healthcare as well as on Pay-for-Performance (P4P). CMS, employers, and advocacy groups have made multiple efforts to restructure payment systems related to the quality of care delivered. From 2005 to 2006, 36 bills were passed in 24 states related to health strategies to improve patient care.

BridgeFront now offers a complimentary UB-04 webinar on the specific topic of Present on Admission (POA). Hear the answers to your most frequently asked questions about P4P and how POA will impact your organization's daily processes, the revenue cycle, billers, and coders, and HIM (Health Information Management).

In this information-packed 30 minutes, you will learn:

• When POA must be reported
• The definition of each POA indicator code
• How POA, the clinical quality indicator for diagnosis reporting, relates to the standard UB form used throughout the county
• The changes on the UB-04 form related to POA and how it is connected to your current billing and coding processes
• How to create a successful transition plan to report POA that includes educating your physicians, coders, and general staff

This webinar is available to you on-demand (pre-recorded) - so you can listen whenever you please. Simply register and begin:
