By way of introduction I am Cindy Bishop, Executive Director & Lobbyist for the Louisiana Academy of Eye Physicians and Surgeons. LAEPS is a statewide membership organization representing the interest of the specialty of ophthalmologists. LAEPS hosts seven regional dinners throughout the state starting in August 2025 and ending in December 2025. Our regional dinners provide a great opportunity for ophthalmologists and residents to gather and get the latest information on issues impacting ophthalmologists. For more information or to RSVP, visit our website at laeps.wildapricot.org/events During February, the Louisiana Academy of Eye Physicians and Surgeons participated in the New Orleans Association of Ophthalmology Symposium in New Orleans. Additionally, LAEPS hosted a reception in the French Quarter for LAEPS members, residents and our sponsors. During January 2025, LAEPS hosted a three-hour ophthalmology coding course for our members and their coding staff with the latest updates in CPT codes and modifiers. If you are interested in obtaining a copy of the 3-hour recording, please contact LAEPS.
Please welcome these new practices in 2025:
Payers are increasingly participating in Health Information Exchange (HIE). From the payers perspective they are likely already receiving health data from many different sources related to managing their quality programs. The flow and maintenance of this data can be costly and time-intensive for them as each data source requires a one-off exchange and integration into their own data warehouse. HIE eases this burden for payers by eliminating the need for many data sources making data integration seamless for payer operations. This also reduces the burden on providers reporting quality measures to payers. The HIE can calculate those quality measures in real time for all parties. Scan the QR code for more insights into the sharing of health care data among payers and be on the lookout for the follow up articles.
