Stay in the loop with HCFA's mailing list service
Electronic e-mail updates are a great way for FPs to stay on top of changes in the Health Care Financing Administration's Outpatient Prospective Payment System.
Ongoing revisions in OPPS often have a spillover effect on physician providers. So you may want to sign up for this new service.
The mailing list service will automatically alert providers about OPPS changes, updates and events via e-mail messages. Robert Epps, health insurance specialist at HCFA's regional office in Kansas City, Mo., stresses that the service will not replace conventional methods of communication to hospitals, mental health centers, hospices and other providers, but it will provide a quick alternative source for information.
The new mailing list service becomes effective Aug. 1. For more information, check HCFA's Web site at http://www.hcfa.gov/medlearn/listserv.htm, where you can also subscribe to the service.
