NEW PRACTICE START-UPS
Despite challenging economic times, doctors are still starting their own practices.
Over the last few years, in order to recruit and retain doctors and fill needed specialties, hospitals are establishing outpatient physician practices or purchasing existing groups. Our team works closely with hospital officials and their employed physicians to implement the transition and meet deadlines without disrupting patient care.
Another striking trend has been the increase in nurse practitioner owned practices. Our firm has worked with numerous nurse practitioners who own their practices, guiding them through contracting, credentialing and billing regulations that are unique to this ownership model. Tammy Lenhart, CPC, CCP, CMRS, was a keynote speaker at the 2nd Annual Nurse Practitioner Business Owners Retreat in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, presenting "2011 Coding Updates and Changes".
