2020 National Ryan White Conference on HIV Care and Treatment is Going Virtual

In light of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the 2020 National Ryan White Conference on HIV Care and Treatment (NRWC) is officially going virtual! The conference dates will remain August 11-14, 2020, but the times will be adjusted to accommodate different time zones. Registered participants are still encouraged to attend the full length of the conference, however the virtual platform would allow for more flexibility.

The health, well-being, and safety of all of our attendees is the top priority for HAB leadership. While there is not yet sufficient data on whether people with HIV are more susceptible or more likely to develop severe disease, we must take every precaution to reduce any potential risk to the vulnerable population the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program serves.

We know many of the registered attendees and speakers are working on the front lines of the COVID-19 response around the world. This virtual format will allow those on the front line to still have an opportunity to attend the conference and not take them away from the communities they are working hard to serve.

Please note, all Marriott Marquis Washington, DC hotel reservations will be cancelled on behalf of registered attendees. There is no need to contact the hotel to request a reservation cancellation.

Registration is still open and will remain open until July 31, 2020! If you have not already done so, please visit the conference website to complete your registration.

The NRWC is also pleased to offer digital exhibiting opportunities. Submit a request to exhibit today.

Registration is FREE and only available for Rural Missouri Clinics and Hospitals. Register today!

Day 1: Missouri Reporting Quality and Care Management Services in Rural Health

4 CME Credits: MD, DO, NP, PA, RN

General description: 

This virtual online training is designed for Rural Health Clinics (RHC) providers, quality managers, ACO leadership, and revenue cycle staff at rural health facilities who need a high-level basic explanation of how to report accurate quality metrics and who deal with HEDIS, HCC, QIP, Risk Adjustment, and Share Savings.

RHC Overview: We will begin with a RHC documentation>coding>billing overview including:

·       How coding and billing is different in a RHC.

·       Review of the key elements of the CMS Benefits and Claims Manual sections (chapters 9 & 13).

·       Which services are included in the All-Inclusive Rate and which services get paid via fee-for-service or via a flat fee when billing Medicare?

·       Preventive Medicine for the IPPE, AWV, and almost a dozen other “sometimes covered” G-codes performed by a RHC.

Reporting Quality:  After a brief overview of HEDIS/HCC and other Quality Improvement programs, we will dive into relevant sections of the ICD-10-CM’s “Official Guidelines for Coding & Reimbursement” and will review the instructional notes associated with key diagnoses in order to most accurately report the true complexity of care for your ACO patients and to:

·      recognize the impact of medical documentation on the accuracy and completeness of quality data;

·      properly reporting Care Management services to coordinate treating chronic diseases;

·      report accurate and complete Quality Metrics via historical claims data; and,

·      how to fully report the true complexity of your patients via ICD-10-CM documentation rules.

 

Day 2: Evaluation & Management Rural Health – E/M 2021 Updates & Changes

5.5 CEUs approved by AAPC & ArchProCoding   

5.5 CME Credits: MD, DO, NP, PA, RN

Objectives:

This interactive 1-day training is intended for healthcare practitioners, medical billers, coders, auditors, office managers and IT professionals involved with authoring clinical documentation, generating E&M progress notes, auditing professional physician service claims and maintaining a healthy revenue cycle. The primary course focus will emphasize documentation guidelines set forth by CMS for reporting Evaluation and Management services (E&M), as defined by CPT. The curriculum will provide attendees with a strong grasp of Evaluation and Management auditing, coding and documentation techniques.

The curriculum is designed to assist in development and mastery of the necessary skill set to successfully audit Evaluation and Management (E&M) services. This education and training has been designed to promote compliance and minimize the risk mitigation associated with post-payment review and 3rd party audit exposure.
