Cleaning up your patient panel
These resources are intended to support longitudinal physicians on the Longitudinal Family Practice (LFP) Payment Model, or billing under the FFS and Alternate Payment models, and nurse practitioners to develop and submit their list of empanelled patients. There are also resources to support physicians on the LFP Payment Model use their EMR to enter LFP payment codes.
Any physician may choose to use Dr.Bill instead of their EMR at no cost. Nurse practitioners must use Dr.Bill to submit their panel. You can submit your panel using Dr.Bill.
Refer to this diagram to find out whether you can use your EMR or Dr.Bill to submit your panel. If you have any questions, please contact DTO
