Part B News Information

Since 1987, Part B News has been the leading newsletter in the country reporting on the changes in Medicare Part B coverage, coding, billing and reimbursement rules for physician services. We monitor, analyze and seek best practices to aid physician office managers in effective revenue cycle management. Part B News delivers unbiased news and guidance because we are completely independent. We aren't part of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS, formerly HCFA), Medicare carriers, physician associations or consulting firms. The only interest we serve is our readers' so that they get the full reimbursement due for services appropriately performed by physicians and non-physician practioners. To carry out our mission, however, our editors and reporters stay in constant touch with officials of CMS, Part B carriers and physician organizations, not to mention savvy physician practice managers and members of Congress and their staff. Plus we also regularly tap consultants, attorneys and other private sector experts throughout health care for their insights on physician reimbursement issues. The company that produces Part B News is DecisionHealth, a privately owned, independent multimedia publisher. For more than 20 years, DecisionHealth ® has served as the industry's leading source for healthcare provider news, analysis and instructional guidance. It's unique blend of award-winning on-staff journalists and unmatched access to health care executives, providers and their administrative staffs results in business management advice and operationally focused editorial that has captured the attention of nearly 100,000 professionals working in Home Health Care Agencies, Multi-Specialty Medical Offices and the full range of Specialty Medical Office Practices.
