CME ACCREDITATION

The Indiana Academy of Ophthalmology, Inc. designates this live activity for a maximum of 6 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

IAO is working on ways to reduce the amount of paper we use at our conferences. This is an effort both to be responsible toward our environment and to increase the quality and timeliness of the resources provided through this learning experience. However, we do know that completely reducing paper altogether can make the learning experience harder for some, which is why this conference is paper lite rather than completely paper free. Electronic program materials will replace most paper resources and for those materials we receive in advance will be accessible online before, during, and after the program on the IAO website.

This program has been developed from physician forums, member evaluations and comments in an effort to provide the latest information to IAO members on new diagnostic and surgical procedures in ophthalmology. This meeting of lectures and question and answer sessions will provide information concerning updates in ophthalmic treatments and surgery. In addition, changes in the regulatory and economic environments will be explored. Comprehensive ophthalmologists as well as subspecialists will benefit from attendance.

At the conclusion of this Symposium, the participants will be able to:

• Discuss the innovations to retina treatment
• Describe common strategies used by insurance carriers to delay or deny reimbursement, including prior authorization requirements, inappropriate denials, and “shared savings” clauses
• Identify the current challenges in medical retina
• Understand the role of communication in promoting patient safety and reducing malpractice exposure.
• Discuss how government regulations effect your practice and patients
