I think the denominator from last June to the end of September, was about 125 sessions. We do allow for some disappointments, in that the requirement is 90%, not 100%. We have spoken many times in class about ways you can boost your encounter. They include: I.Schedule an additional patient, say one at 9:00 and one at 11:00 2. Come in one extra session a week- there are always chairs available in the morning. 3. Be available to see emergencies. - keep a log of these in case patients are not registered under your name. 4. Also, you should try reminding your patients of their appointments and make sure you get something done every session. Please review your own "productivity report" on axium. Tell me if its not accurate. The above are all things we have to do in real practice to ensure that we manage our patients in a way that is productive for us. Please feel free to follow up if 1 have not answered your questions. Dr. Evangelidis EFTA_R1_01441481 EFTA02403062
