"Power Mobility Pearls for the Practicing Physician" Web-Based Training Course
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has announced that Medicare Minute® MD℠: Power Mobility Pearls for the Practicing Physician Web-Based Training Course (WBT) is available. This WBT is designed to provide education on the fundamentals of a Power Mobility Devices compliance program. Continuing education credits are available to learners who successfully complete this course. See course description for more information.
In this course, Dr. Robert Hoover, CGS' chief medical officer - Jurisdiction C DME MAC, offers a no-nonsense look at documentation requirements for Power Mobility Devices from a practicing physician's perspective. The video is a collaboration of all DME MAC jurisdictions for the benefit of physicians who prescribe Power Mobility Devices (PMDs).
To access the WBT, go to MLN Products
, scroll to the bottom of the web page and under "Related Links" click on "Web-Based Training Courses."
The video was produced by CGS and is one in a series of other videos for practicing physicians who prescribe durable medical equipment items/services.
"CGS is constantly looking for ways to incentivize physicians to learn more about Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics and Supplies (DMEPOS) because of the symbiotic relationship between practicing physicians and suppliers." Dr. Hoover said. "Both are focused on the Medicare beneficiary but each is dependent upon the other to deliver the care that is required. Our Medicare Minute® MD℠ video program helps strengthen those 'provider/supplier' relationships through effective education. To reach a broad audience of physician and other healthcare providers, CGS partnered with CMS and the MLN WBT program and we're proud to offer Continuing Medical Education (CME) credit for the Medicare Minute® MD℠: Power Mobility Pearls for the Practicing Physician video program."
To date, only the "Power Mobility Pearls for the Practicing Physician" WBT is available to earn CME credits.
