Disclaimer: NANOS is not an official CME provider for this activity and this symposium is not endorsed by NANOS. This activity has been developed with support from an independent educational grant from Genentech. We are sharing this information as this can be of value to the NANOS membership.


NEW! OTHER MEETINGS OF INTEREST
NANOS is committed to promoting medical education and the exchange of scientific information in order to support our primary mission of achieving excellence in patient care through the support and promotion of education. In addition, NANOS is committed to promoting collaboration among medical specialties, and among healthcare providers in different parts of the world who share our values.

NANOS will promote meetings of interest to neuro-ophthalmologists on the “Other Meetings of Interest” webpage if the following two criteria are met:

  1. A NANOS member is chairing/organizing a session of the meeting.
  2. The program is of neuro-ophthalmologic interest.


To request a posting on the NANOS website, please send your promotion request to meetings@nanosweb.org and confirm that the meeting qualifies based on the two criteria listed above.

PRACTICE SUPPORT TOOLS
NANOS MEMBER AND PRODUCTIVITY AND COMPENSATION TOOLKIT
The NANOS Productivity and Compensation Committee has created a Productivity and Compensation Toolkit which is now posted in the Practice Support Tools corner (member-only resource). This toolkit is available as a resource for NANOS members regarding the clinical value and uniqueness of Neuro-Ophthalmology.

2022 CMS RVU AND FEE SCHEDULE CALCULATOR
Dr. Kevin Lai, Co-chair of the NANOS Practice Support Committee, has created and shared a spreadsheet that can be used by members to calculate the potential impact that changes to Medicare/CMS reimbursement rates might have on their practices. This tool uses publicly available data and is available for members for download and individual use.

Please refrain from discussing your findings on NANOS listservs or other communication platforms.

The CMS RVU and Fee Schedule Calculator is now posted in the Practice Support Tools corner (member-only resource).


NANOS Antitrust Compliance Statement: NANOS is committed to maintaining the highest ethical standards in the way we conduct our activities including full compliance with all laws and regulations and in particular, strict compliance with federal and state antitrust laws—all designed to protect free competition. While your healthcare attorney’s office can provide you guidance on antitrust matters you realize that each of us bears the ultimate responsibility for assuring that our actions and the actions of those around us comply with the antitrust laws.

NANOS ANTITRUST TRAINING WEBINAR
Do you know what antitrust legislation is and how it is relevant to neuro-ophthalmologists, NANOS and NANOS discussion email lists? Do you wonder why some topics of conversation are halted by moderators on NANOSNET? To help our US NANOS members avoid legal jeopardy related to anticompetitive actions, NANOS has put together an antitrust training webinar led by Vic Domen, an antitrust attorney. We encourage all US members to watch this training video (login required) and help us ensure NANOS stays compliant with federal laws.
