It's On The Agenda

The Information You're Looking For, All in One Week

As you focus on Medicare, Medicaid, or both in your organization, you're keenly aware of the volume of information you need to be aware of, and how quickly things evolve.

AHIP's Medicare and Medicaid Conferences, September 11-15 in Washington, D.C. are designed to provide an enormous amount of information in just a few days. You'll find sessions that answer your day-to-day questions, as well as ones that are focused on the broader questions about Medicare and Medicaid.

If a few days out of the office seems like a challenge, you'll appreciate knowing that the insight you'll gain from the leaders in government, health care, overall business, and academia will allow you to return to your office armed with the knowledge to quickly and smartly lead your organization.
