In 2003 HCPro, Inc., Nimitt Consulting, Inc., and 3M Health Information Systems joined forces to create a forum called the Provider Roundtable (PRT). The group currently consists of individuals from 14 healthcare organizations with one common goal—to provide input and guidance to CMS on critical OPPS and APC issues.
- All membership applications are due no later than May 7. Interested individuals can request more information and an application by sending an e-mail to roundtable@nimitt.com.
- PRT candidates should be moderate-to-expert level professionals in both their given discipline subject matter as well as knowledge of the OPPS system.
- A selection committee made up of existing members will select new members in the coming months
- The PRT (including new members) will meet in the Washington, DC, area in August or September to discuss and prepare comments on the 2011 OPPS proposed rule.
- Individuals participating in the PRT must have their employer cover their transportation and accommodation costs as necessary
- PRT members must be employed by a provider and must maintain active participation in the group by attending one in person meeting a year, participating in periodic conference calls, and working with the group to prepare substantive comments for CMS and others as necessary
