Spring MAC with You!

This past weekend was the Michigan Chiropractic Association's Spring Convention in Traverse City, Michigan.  And what a wonderful place to be in the spring.  We had a great time hanging out with all of you in our home state (Genius Solutions is based in Warren, MI).  The convention was excellent, the turnout was amazing, and it was a pleasure to meet with so many of you. 

You may be wondering about the psychedelic booth.  The theme for the weekend was the 70's and we were all about the love.  In return, you helped to make us the best decorated booth winner.  Thanks MAC and MAC members!  We're looking forward to being with you again in the Fall. 

If you have any additional questions for us about any products you saw or would like to know more about, please feel free to e-mail us and we'll get right back with you.

Happy Earth Day, How Paperless are you?

We're not saying we have the answers to everything, although we do have quite a few, especially if you want to go paperless.  Going paperless isn't just for the environment (although I am a tree lover-tree hugging leaves scratches), it really is for the efficiency of your office.

Let's list some of the ways going more paperless can help you:

Medicare Physician Pay Cuts Get Another One Month Reprieve

Medicare Physician pay cuts get another one month reprieve (well plus a little, since April was almost over anyways).  The pay cuts have been delayed until May 31st and your current pay scale is still in place until then.

Are Your Ears Still Ringing From Reminder Phone Calls?

Do you know if your pay cut is going through?

Well, it's April 14th, Medicare was trying to hold off claims until today to see if there would be a mid-month, midnight pass to keep the 21+% pay cut from going through.  Congress did their bit (barely getting the votes to pass the temporary stay) and the senate has still not stepped up yet.

The senate wants to pass a long-term thing to hold off the pay cuts until October.  That is still not very permanent, it just means that when the reduction (probably even bigger than this year's) goes through for next year, that things will still look as gloomy and unresolved.

Medicare Fee Cuts in Action Limbo Again!

As previously encountered and projected, the government managed to leave Washington D.C. without fixing, extending, or repealing the 21.5% Medicare pay cut to physicians.  amednews.com is saying that Medicare is again delaying claims processing, hoping for an intercession until April 14.  They also mention that President Obama is trying to fill a CMS administrator position that has been vacant since 2006, in an effort to keep better tabs on things like this in the future.
