The Practice Management Committee – formerly the Managed Care and Compliance Committee – is a formalization of the Insurance Task Force, which was formalized in 2012 as a standing committee. The committee was recently redeveloped into the Practice Management Committee to develop and create resources to assist members to establish, maintain, and grow their practices. The committee focuses on communicating information which will help members navigate their own economic path to best suit their geographic location, patient population, adoption of managed care, compliance with federal and state requirements, and other factors which might be important to their success.
