AMGA member Advocare and AMGA partners MagMutual and Acadia have spent years identifying data that can both reduce risk and increase revenue. What started as a small set of quality measures has grown into a comprehensive analytics platform that aligns quality with reimbursements. MagMutual PolicyOwner Advocare is one of those practices using the data to make informed business decisions and ensure their long-term ability to service their communities. Throughout the course of the webinar, they will share how it has positively affected their practice in numerous ways. One slice of data relates to the commercial reimbursement rates that are now, for the first time, publicly available (but incredibly difficult to structure and analyze). These data will rewrite antitrust law and render "black box" analyses obsolete. But how can they be used today? Sponsored by MagMutual, a highly data-driven and innovative medical professional liability insurer, this webinar will feature the organization’s experts, as well as those from Acadia and Advocare. The group will highlight this new data set and walk through how healthcare organizations can leverage it. See how payer data fit into a broader enterprise strategy to reduce risk and increase quality while helping physicians remain independent. |
