CMA recently received a grant from the Physicians’ Foundation for Health System Excellence to fund its “Extreme Makeover” project. The project will pair 8 solo and small group physician practices with physician leaders and experts in a number of areas, including technology and organizational design. Together, the team will help these practices optimize their administrative work flow.

Through this project, CMA will develop methods to reduce administrative distractions and use technology to improve efficiency your practice’s bottom line. CMA will use the lessons learned from this project to create templates, toolkits, and training materials to benefit physicians nationwide.

Would you like to participate in the Extreme Makeover project and be part of an exciting, innovative project funded by the settlement of CMA’s RICO lawsuit? We’re looking for practices that:

• Are located in the Alameda or Contra Costa counties;
• Submit high volumes of low-dollar claims;
• Contract with third-party payers;
• Can commit their time and that of their staff to
  meaningfully participate in the project.

To learn more about this project, come to a town-hall meeting at the Alameda Contra Costa Medical Association, April 25 from 6 to 8 pm.
