PCC has just come out with a new release of PCC EHR, Version 1.6.1, which includes new e-prescribing tool, PCC eRx, powered by DrFirst. EHR Project Manager Bill VanDeventer said of the partnering decision, "We researched many third party e-prescribing companies and chose DrFirst because of their leadership in the industry and because they provided us the ability to integrate their service tightly into PCC EHR. We wanted to ensure that our customers could access and use the prescription module without any disruption to the flow of the medical visit." Additionally, DrFirst is a Surescripts certified product.

Two vital dates for your schedule:
October 1, 2010
This is the new Medicare fee schedule extension date. Until then, the 2010 Medicare rate will be maintained at the 2009 levels. Here's an AMA summary:
This afternoon, the Senate passed H.R. 4213, a bill to extend certain tax policies and stimulate job growth, by a vote of 62-36. The bill includes provisions that would further extend current Medicare physician payment rates until October 1, 2010. The legislation will now be sent to the House, where amendments are possible. Consequently, it is not certain if this extension of Medicare payment rates can be signed into law before the current Medicare physician payment freeze expires on April 1.
July 22-23 (and 20+21 for PCC clients)
Even more important - the PCC Users' Conference and Pediatric Coding and Practice Management in July. To quote, again:
The next PCC Pediatric Coding and Practice Management conference will be a two day event held on July 22-23 at the Sheraton Burlington Hotel and Conference Center in Burlington, Vermont. Further information is typically published in early April.
We have some really fascinating speakers lined some - some new, some of the usual suspects - and it doesn't get better than Vermont in July. Save the date.
