(Tuesday, March 12, 2013 –
Tallahassee) Late yesterday, a select Senate committee formed to help
chart Florida’s course under the federal health care overhaul voted to
reject the idea of expanding the state’s Medicaid system. Though the
committee’s decision mirrors a prior one taken last week in the House,

federal funds to help low-income Floridians purchase private health

Following the traditional fanfare and wide assortment of speeches
marking their opening day for the 2013 Session on Tuesday of this week,
lawmakers got down to the nuts-and-bolts task of hearing and revising
proposed bills at the committee level. Much of the Legislature’s work,
particularly in the beginning weeks of the session, takes place at the
committee level. Each proposed bill is heard, public testimony is
offered, amendments are possibly adopted and final votes are taken, all
part of the arduous maze a proposed idea must successfully navigate
before it wins the right to a final hearing, debate and vote on the full
floor of each chamber.
The FCA is pleased to offer for our members’ viewing pleasure a webinar giving the basics on PQRS, Physician Quality Reporting, a 2013 Medicare mandate that could have a negative financial impact on 2015 reimbursements if not implemented. This webinar by Mollie Frawley, FCA Insurance Liaison Coordinator, is only 42 minutes and is intended to introduce this topic in a common sense, informal manner. FCA members can access this webinar at their convenience, pause it if interrupted and even rerun it to catch what you missed the first time through. This does not replace the official documents on the FCA, ACA or Medicare websites. It does however make PQRS more understandable.
