Mips
Anyone in here doing the MIPS thing? Which quality measures are you doing? Practice Fusion only supplies a handful of them so I'm asking about colonoscopies and mammograms.

Why don ’t we just start giving our own?
Dermpath didn’t ask pathology if it was ok to read skin cancers. Gastroenterologists didn’t ask surgeons if they could do colonoscopies. Neurologists didn’t ask if they could give TMZ.

Being an MD is overrated?
Hi everyone. I just got into quite a big argument/debate in person with a few people and they said that being a doctor is the most overrated profession there is, and incredibly easy, no matter what specialty. They were being very serious.
They were telling me that for instance pulmonology has only 10 diseases and 5 drugs to master, colonoscopies can be done by anybody in the hospital, surgery just takes practice. Keep in mind, these were very educated people, all Phd and work in the health...

Resect and Discard
Anyone see the surprise billing for colonoscopy article on medpage today? Resect and discard biopsy specimens is mentioned.
"In the short term, endoscopists should also consider using established cost-saving strategies, such as conscious sedation and the 'resect and discard' approach, to biopsy specimens," the authors wrote. "In the longer term, we must enhance ongoing reform efforts to remove consumer cost sharing for all clinically indicated care associated with colonoscopy." (Source: Student Doctor Network)
