SUMMARY:OMH Vital Signs Dashboard Webinar
DESCRIPTION:We are all aware of the stark reality that people with mental health conditions\, especially individuals of color\, face inequities in access\, quality\, and outcomes of healthcare services; challenges that have only been exacerbated by the COVID pandemic. The Office of Mental Health (OMH) developed a new Vital Signs Dashboard (VSD) for providers and counties to inform quality improvement planning\, identify emerging and persistent health disparities\, and promote health equity. \nThe VSD is a resource to assist in efforts to promote health equity in programs. The dashboard provides prevalence rates on specific quality measures derived from Medicaid data on clients with a mental health diagnosis served by our OMH licensed and designated programs and the data can be stratified by population categories such as race & ethnicity. \nAccess \nYou can access the VSD with the following link: \nhttps://mypublicdashboard.ny.gov/t/OMH/views/OMHVitalSignsDashboardVSD/VSDHome-Adult?:showAppBanner=false&:display_count=n&:showVizHome=n&:origin=viz_share_link \nNote: This link does not require login credentials and works best on Chrome\, Edge or Safari web browsers. At this time the VSD link is only being shared with OMH licensed and designated providers as well as county mental health authorities\, to allow you an opportunity to review your organization’s data before a broader release. Please do not redistribute outside of your organization.   \nIntroduction to OMH Vital Signs Dashboard Webinar \nOMH leadership will introduce the vision for the VSD and provide an overview for its use. This webinar will be offered in August and September; please see the VSD webinar registration page for more details and to register for the date and time that works for you. \nTechnical Support & Opportunities for Feedback \nIf you have any questions\, please contact the VSD team. OMH is also interested in your feedback and will hold monthly office hours beginning in October to support use of the VSD; more information will be distributed soon. Thank you!

SUMMARY:"Incident To" Provisions of the Proposed 2023 Physician Fee Schedule
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, August 16th at 12:00 pm ET\, the National Council will host a webinar for all members on\, ‘”Incident To” Provisions of the Proposed 2023 Physician Fee Schedule” with Susannah Vance Gopalan of our outside counsel Feldesman Tucker Leifer Fidell LLP. \nBackground – The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) is proposing updates to the 2023 Physician Fee Schedule that would create an exception to the direct supervision requirement of “incident to” billing to allow for general supervision\, which would allow certain mental health providers to be reimbursed without the physician or non-physician practitioners on-site requirement. Medicare’s Physician Fee Schedule\, updated yearly\, contains a comprehensive listing of the maximum fees physicians and other providers may be reimbursed under fee-for-service in Medicare. \nPlease join the National Council for Mental Wellbeing for a special webinar discussing the “incident to” billing provisions in the proposed Physician Fee Schedule rules for calendar year 2023. In this webinar\, participants will be provided an overview of “incident to” billing in Medicare\, a summary of the “incident to” proposed rule changes for 2023\, an analysis of the impact and implications to providers\, and context for the applicability to dual eligible individuals. \n\nParticipants will also have the opportunity to ask questions. Please join us August 16\, 2022 at 12:00PM ET.\nTo register please see this link – Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: ‘Incident To’ Provisions of the Proposed 2023 Physician Fee Schedule. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar.
