Case List Tip: 
You have time to compile, but it is always a good idea to get your master list of surgical and non-surgical cases pulled. If you have a helpful administrative liaison in the finance department, they can run a report with patient names and the ICD 10 bb codes, which will give you a great organized start to compiling your list. Additionally, you can use that list of diagnoses to identify cases for your office categories very quickly. The ABC FPMRS Virtual Course Scheduled for Nov 20-22.  We will also have some great sessions that will discuss templates and tips for creating a list that is in line with ABOG standards, so you won’t have to experience the anxiety-provoking process of submitting a sub-optimal list.

FPMRS Tip: 
The case list isn’t due until February 1, 2021, but this is also a good time to make sure you are entering the data and checking to make sure you have patients that represent all of the different categories you need to fill for the case list. If you find that you are missing some patient experience types, now is the time to find ways to get more clinical exposure so you can be sure to get those last rare conditions covered.
Continue working on your case list entry. Avoid procrastination.  
We are ready to get you prepared for this examination…..Register now for our  Virtual November ABC FPMRS Review Course on Nov 20-22.
