Here is the answer taken directly from the www.CertifiedMedicalPlanner.org website.

The CERTIFIED MEDICAL PLANNER™ charter designation program is a live, instructor-led, online asynchronous educational exercise designed to increase your health industry knowledge, affinity for physician-clients and financial advisory practice revenues in an honest and ethical fashion; regardless of compensation model. Fiduciary capacity is implicit.

We provide 500 hours of health economics and medical practice management education, during a 12 month period, that comprises four quarter-mesters. Adult learners should plan on spending 5-10 hours per week on study activities. The program may be crashed under special situations and/or delivered traditionally and onground upon request.

Check it out for yourself!

NPI Numbers

The Impending NPI Deadline

Most of us know that until now, hospitals and other healthcare organizations had until May 23, 2008 to implement the National Provider Identifier (NPI) scheme for Medicare claims; but we were apparantly wrong! 

CMS said today that hospitals must get their NPI in place for submitting Medicare fee-for-service claims by January 1, 2008. If not, CMS will begin rejecting such claims. (CMS is will still accept non-NPI claims from professional services providers like doctors, labs and clinics).

CMS officials say they’re moving up the deadline because most providers are already on board with the NPI.

Really! Are they sure? Not from my view of the universe!

To be sure, providers who aren’t using the NPI are already technically in trouble already, as the original deadline is long past. However, as part of the transition to full NPI rollout, CMS has been letting them slide if (in essence) they promised to work on it by filing a contingency plan.

Anyone caught off guard with this announcement?
