VOL. 67 NO. 2 Sp ring 2016

Meet Your Incoming CAFP President: Lee Ralph, MD!

Success. It’s what California’s finest physicians strive for... and what CAP can help you achieve. Since 1977, the Cooperative of American Physicians (CAP) has provided superior medical professional liability coverage and valuable risk and practice management programs to California’s finest physicians through its Mutual Protection Trust (MPT). As a physician-directed organization, we understand the realities of running a medical practice, and we are committed to supporting you with a range of valuable programs and services. These include a 24-hour adverse outcomes hotline, HR support, EHR consultation, a group purchasing program, and payment and reimbursement education and support, to name a few.

Prepare for Value-Based Compensation with CAP’s Free Guide As payers move toward a more value-focused model of reimbursement, your practice’s revenue stream may soon be tied entirely to clinical outcomes and patient experience. CAP’s Physician’s Action Guide to Value-Based Compensation is replete with valuable information and tips to help you stay ahead of the VBC curve and attain fair and prompt reimbursement from public and private payers.

Identify & eradicate the cause of disease!

We owe it to ourselves and to our patients to learn about and be able to “prescribe” a prevention and treatment protocol with only positive side effects. We are looked to by our patients for guidance on not only how to treat their conditions, but, more importantly, how to use lifestyle as a therapeutic intervention. And, when it comes to lifestyle, food trumps all.

Educate and inform. Join the leading names in preventive, nutritional medicine for the 4th Annual International Plant-Based Nutrition Healthcare Conference. Enjoy nine delicious meals, and earn valuable Continuing Medical Education credits: This program is approved for 24 AMA PRA Category 1™ and 24 AAFP Prescribed™ credits.*

24 AAFP Prescribed™ Credits

* AAFP Prescribed Credits were issued in 2015 and are pending approval for this year’s AMA PRA Category 1 accredited event. Please check the CME Accreditation page at pbnhc.com for updates.

Save $100! Register online using discount code: AAFP100 Visit pbnhc.com and register to be part of this medical education event many have described as “life-changing!”

The alarming rise of chronic disease trends, among both adults and children, is sounding the wake-up call in the medical community. It’s critical that preventive, nutritional medicine, which is sorely lacking in our medical schools, become the foundation of our nation’s health care system. — Scott Stoll, MD, Co-Founder and Board Chairman of The Plantrician Project

CAPG Annual Conference 2016 Sharing The Lessons of Innovative Payment Models June 16-19, 2016 • Manchester Grand Hyatt, San Diego, CA Taking risk is no longer just an option. The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015—MACRA—is effectively making risk mandatory for physician organizations that want to stay in the game. And where Medicare goes, commercial payers will follow. At our Annual Conference, you’ll gain hands-on knowledge and best practices from physician organizations who are thriving in both government and commercial risk arrangements, along with high-level insights on the political and legislative forecast for value-based care.

Don’t get left behind.
