Panel Discussion with Q&A session: National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners by Mike Megehee, DC
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA) National Registry of Certifi ed Medical Examiners (NRCME) will soon require all physicians who perform Department of Transportation (DOT) driver physicals to attend a training course and pass a certification test. This is a signifi cant economic opportunity for DCs, as many MDs may not pursue the certifi cation. FMCSA estimates that more than 4 million driver exams will be performed yearly—a $400 million market potential. Learn about the NRCME and DOT drug and alcohol testing, and how these services can become a signifi cant income source for your practice.
NCQA's Back Pain Recognition Program (BPRP) by John Ventura, DC
The National Committee for Quality Assurance’s Back Pain Recognition Program (BPRP) recognizes physicians who deliver superior care to millions of Americans suffering from low-back pain. BPRP provides an opportunity for individual providers to evaluate their own practice through evidence-base requirements and for DCs as a profession to establish themselves as the dominant providers of high quality treatment for low-back pain. |
