SUMMARY:Prepare for Rare: Newborn Screening and Genetic Testing ECHO Program
DESCRIPTION:Session Title: Rapid Whole Genome Sequencing \nMinnesota Rare Disease Advisory Council is proud to partner with Stratis Health and the Minnesota Department of Health to offer a new Project ECHO for pediatricians and family medicine providers. “Prepare for Rare: Newborn Screening and Genetic Testing” will prepare clinicians for patients with rare diseases. Diving into the process of the screenings\, talking with families\, connecting with specialists\, and offering informed support to caregivers\, this Project ECHO series will empower providers to give the best care to young patients with a positive newborn screening test. Connect with peer clinicians through what can feel like a daunting process—guiding parents of a newborn through a diagnosis for a condition they’ve likely never heard about. Learn where to find information fast\, discuss complex case examples\, offer valuable insights\, and learn about the incredible resources available within Minnesota. Sessions are eligible for continuing education credits.

SUMMARY:MHCP Obstetric Coding Changes
DESCRIPTION:The Minnesota Department of Human Services will host informational meetings to educate providers on the upcoming coding changes. They invite you to attend a meeting on Thursday\, May 21\, 2026\, from 12:15 PM – 1:00 PM (CT) to learn more. \nAdditional Details: Minnesota Health Care Programs (MHCP)-enrolled providers can currently bill obstetric services either globally (bundled coding) or by component; however\, the American Medical Association (AMA) is eliminating the global CPT codes effective Jan. 1\, 2027. Providers have until Dec. 31\, 2026\, to access the global codes. \nGlobal codes bundle all prenatal visits\, delivery\, and postpartum care into a single claim. Under the new system\, each phase of care — prenatal\, labor management\, delivery\, and postpartum — will be billed separately as services are provided. The Minnesota Department of Human Services will follow updated billing guidance from the American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists (ACOG).
