Now - they are getting the 1% reduction and calling me to find out how to fix it. You can't. You had a deadline last year and you have one this year too. <br> <br> There is a change in the reporting requirements for 2012 and 2013 with regards to avoiding penalties for 2013 and 2014. You don't want to lose 2% in 2013, so you need to pay attention. During the first six months of 2012, you simply have to report G8553, the code that indicates you did an eRx during a visit ten times. So any time you do an eRx (for a Medicare Part B patient) during the 1st six months, you should report the G8553 code, and by doing that 10 times you will avoid the payment reduction the following year. That 2% in 2013 can add up as the 1% in 2012 already is. <br> <br> </font> <br><hr> <font size="h4"><FONT COLOR=PURPLE> MY LATEST TESTIMONY LETTER FROM JANUARY 5, 2012. This is a big part of why I do what I do! </FONT> <br> <font color="navy"> "Thank you Don. We have a patient who retired a while ago partly because her memory was failing somewhat. She became Toni's patient about a year ago and came to see her recently because the memory loss had worsened. Toni put her right on the CANS-MCI that you started us using and it showed a very poor score, but with executive function and memory function remarkably different. Toni sent the patient for a scan which showed a history of multiple small strokes over many years, none of which had produced other symptoms. Now she is chasing down what is causing the strokes--but it was the MCI that revealed the nature of the problem!- - - David Parmelee" <br> <br> <a href="http://www.donself.com/books.html"> <IMG src="http://www.donself.com/images/book-cover.jpg" width=147 height=189 alt="image not avail"> GET DON'S BOOK called The Unfiltered Guide to Medical Office Management.

PQRI Wizard has extended the deadline for reporting the 2011 PQRI to FEBRUARY 15, 2012, so you have time left and it's important you realize that it may only take any employee in your practice about 3 hours to do the reporting for the entire year via registry. Now - before you click on the link below to take you to the PQRI Wizard website and check it out - take advantage of a deal that Don has with them. If you use DONSELF2011 as the Discount Code on their page, it knocks $50.00 (FIFTY DOLLARS) off the $299 registration, so you're only paying $249. If you can't see the wisdom of spending $249 to make $2,000 to $6,000 in PQRI bonus for 2011 - don't bother reading any further on this page as you're not going to learn anything. Seriously, people - check this out. <A href="http://www.PQRIWIZARD.com"> <IMG src="http://www.donself.com/images/pqri_wizard.png"> </A> <BR> <BR> <font color=blue> <italics> The following is about BREATH HYDROGEN and not H Pylori which is totally different! </font> <br> <font color=red>A TESTIMONIAL - DECEMBER 2012 - <font color=black> Don, I want to give you a little feedback on the breath hydrogen unit that you sold me several months ago. This has been a great piece of equipment. From the financial aspect it is relatively inexpensive, not expensive to run and good reimbursement. Bloating and heartburn patients are plentiful in my practice and it is amazing to see patients who have had ct scans, ultrasounds, EGD's along with the GI consultation and still they are miserable and told to live with it. A simple test with the breath hydrogen and you identify the underlying problem, usually meaning a short course of antibiotics or more likely avoidance of certain foods. Patients come back crying with joy and relief that they finally have their problem solved(their spouses are even more happy!) I have had multiple scenarios played out in my office and when it comes to the bloating/burping indigestion patient, I have not found a patient yet that we could not solve their problem. If anyone treats these Patients I strongly recommend this unit as it is very cost-effective and you will have patients that think you are a genius for solving their problem. <br> <br> Orrin McLeod D.O. - - - McLeod Medical Centers <br> <br> <font color="dark red"> </FONT> <HR> <IMG src="http://www.donself.com/images/penguin.gif" height=196 width=304> <p> Do you feel like the penguin on the left & the insurance carriers are the one on the right? <br> <BR> <BR> </FONT> <FONT color=black> <H4 align="center"><FONT color=red> <A href="https://shop.donself.com" target=_blank><IMG height=300 src="http://www.donself.com/images/sliderule-09b1.jpg" width=650 alt="image not avail"></A> </FONT> <P><BR></FONT><FONT color=black><H4> Order them for $12.50 each plus s/h by clicking on the sliderule </a></FONT> </CENTER> <P> <BR> <IMG src="http://www.donself.com/images/new-law.jpg"> <br> <br> <BR> <BR></P> <H4 align="center">&nbsp; <H4 align="center"><A href="mailto:donself@donself.com"><IMG height=300 src="http://www.donself.com/images/email-bird.gif" width=100> <FONT color=#ff0000 size=4> EMAIL DON </A> <H4> <CENTER><FONT color=blue>DON SELF &amp; ASSOCIATES, INC. </CENTER><FONT color=black> </H4> <H4> <CENTER><FONT color=blue>305 Senter Avenue, Whitehouse, TX 75791 <BR> 903 372-7529 - fax 480 247-5650 </CENTER><FONT color=black> <BR><BR> <BR><BR> This page visited<BR><BR><!-- Start of StatCounter Code --> <SCRIPT language=javascript type=text/javascript> var sc_project=447473; var sc_partition=2; </SCRIPT> <!-- Start of StatCounter Code --> <SCRIPT language=javascript type=text/javascript> var sc_project=447473; var sc_partition=2; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language=javascript src="http://www.statcounter.com/counter/counter.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT> <NOSCRIPT><A href="http://www.statcounter.com/" target=_blank><IMG alt="free hit counter" src="http://c3.statcounter.com/counter.php?sc_project=447473&amp;java=0" border=0></A> </NOSCRIPT><!-- End of StatCounter Code --><BR> <SCRIPT language=JavaScript> <!-- var SymRealOnLoad; var SymRealOnUnload; function SymOnUnload() { window.open = SymWinOpen; if(SymRealOnUnload != null) SymRealOnUnload(); } function SymOnLoad() { if(SymRealOnLoad != null) SymRealOnLoad(); window.open = SymRealWinOpen; SymRealOnUnload = window.onunload; window.onunload = SymOnUnload; } SymRealOnLoad = window.onload; window.onload = SymOnLoad; //--> </SCRIPT> times </FONT></FONT></H3></H3></H3></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TR></TBODY></DIV></BODY></HTML>
