Our most recent "Get To Know" (GTK) session with VisionAmerica's doctors took us to Mr. P's Deli where we sat down with Dr. Dale Brown. We covered his background, surgical preferences and, if you read on, he will tell you where you can find the BEST Mexican food around. Check out our GTK session with Dr. Brown below. 11/14/2017 0 Comments A Response to Our Piece on Toys 'R' UsOn October 3, 2017, we sent out an email titled, "What Can We Learn from Toys 'R' Us?"
The purpose of this piece was to point out how fast things can truly change in the world of business and, hopefully, prompt us all to ask some questions about our own businesses. If you missed the article, click here to catch up. Shortly after the email was sent, a miracle happened: One of you actually replied with some feedback! (In all seriousness, your thoughts and opinions are something we truly value and we would love to see more emails like this in the future!) The response below was written by Dr. Sam Pierce, who as you know, is the current President-Elect of the American Optometric Association (AOA). 11/2/2017 0 Comments MIPS Cliffs Notesby Paul Batson, O.D.
Center Director VisionAmerica of Birmingham The Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) has probably caused more confusion and dread than any other topic in the medical industry this year. While I am by no means an expert on MIPS, I thought I would share a few thoughts/reminders as we enter the final months of 2017. Just remember, it's easier than you think to avoid penalties and even earn a little bonus money. |
