Preparing for ACA

 

By John K. Wisniewski

BCMS CEO/Executive Director

   

 

Whether you like it or not,  provisions of the Affordable Care Act are rolling out and will affect your practice, employees and patients.

 

This would be a good week to consider what information is important to know and share. 

 

One source is BeCoveredTexas.org, which is designed for organizations to help educate Texans about health options available to them under the new law.

 

Increasingly, the topic will surface in the course of treating your patients, and it may be helpful to share this link proactively, or upon request, to help refocus your encounters on medical care.
