Mining Your Data to Maximize Improvements: Exploring the WHIO Cost-of-Care Data	05/15/2012 Noon – 1:15 p.m.	6120	Cindy Helstad, PhD, Director of Research, and Raju Vadapalli, MCA, Systems Architect, Wisconsin Medical Society	FREE (Pre-registration required)	TL, CME
	Efficiency is the new quality dimension. This webinar will focus on the cost of care/efficiency dimension of the ”triple aim“ (better care for individuals, better health for populations and lower per-capita costs). The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services is exploring ways to develop composites of cost and quality for use in a value-based payment modifier. Participants will learn about cost- and quality-of-care measures in the Wisconsin Health Information Organization (WHIO) database that can be used to improve how physicians deliver care and enhance the health of Wisconsin communities. Benefits of how data sources can be used together to help identify gaps, needs and strategies for improvements will be discussed.

Moving the ICD-10 To-Do List Into Action Mode	05/16/2012 Noon – 1:15 p.m.	C101	Penny Osmon, BA, CHC, CPC, CPC-I, PCS, Director of Educational Strategies, Wisconsin Medical Society	$119	CME
Moving the ICD-10 To-Do List Into Action Mode	Most physicians, clinical and support staff, payers, vendors and other health care professionals consider the transition to ICD-10 the greatest change to health care since the 1970s. With the extraordinary convergence of multiple regulatory requirements, it’s often difficult to know where to begin. Establishing the list of tasks is easy; executing them is the step between today’s status quo and a successful ICD-10 transition. During this webinar, Ms. Osmon will address how to delegate responsibility, set realistic goals that adhere to your timeline, manage vendors, maximize your training plan and more. She will guide participants through the process of getting your to-do list started—and finished—regardless of where you are in the process.

ICD-10: The Impact on Payment Reform	06/14/2012 Noon – 1:15 p.m.	C102	Michael Arrigo, Managing Partner and CEO, No World Borders	$119	CME
ICD-10: The Impact on Payment Reform	Payment reform is anticipated to shift fee-for-service (FFS) reimbursement to value-based payment evidenced through quality measurement, and clinical documentation and correct coding will be at the core of this shift. During this webinar, Mr. Arrigo will discuss how certain Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) mandates and specific payment reform provisions embedded in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will intermingle with ICD-10 diagnosis and procedure codes. Problem solving and strategy will be key attributes for success as we brace for payment reform.

Linking Improvement with Specialty Certification and Medical Licensure	06/19/2012 Noon – 1:15 p.m.	6121	Nancy Nankivil, Chief Strategy Officer, and Mark Grapentine, JD, Senior Vice President, Government Relations, Wisconsin Medical Society	FREE (Pre-registration required)	TL, CME
	An overarching goal of this webinar is for learners to develop plans to strategically align maintenance of certification (MOC) and maintenance of licensure (MOL) efforts with organizational goals. Learners will receive information about current MOC and MOL efforts and discuss how the future of these efforts will continue to affect practicing physicians. In addition, learners will discuss specific strategies for linking their improvement efforts to MOC and MOL requirements.

Obstetrics Coding 101	06/20/2012 11:30 a.m – 1:00 p.m.	6126	Michelle R. Davis, CPC, COBGC, Professional Coder, Siouxland OBGYN, PC, Sioux City, Iowa	$119

Home Sweet Home—Billing for House Calls	06/21/2012 Noon – 1:15 p.m.	6122	Jen Cohrs, CPC, CGIC, CPMA, Coding & Reimbursement Educator, Wisconsin Medical Society	$119	PA
Home Sweet Home—Billing for House Calls	Home and domiciliary evaluation and management (E/M) services—house calls—are on the rise. Like all E/M services, home and domiciliary visits include provision and documentation of history, examination and medical decision-making. This webinar will focus on Medicare rules for coding, reimbursement and documentation requirements, as well as what qualifies as an eligible house call. The intent of house calls is ultimately to improve medical care by identifying unmet medical needs, coordinating treatment with appropriate referrals and potentially reducing the onset of acute medical conditions providing a result of fewer hospitalizations.
