Conference Overview

As the cost of doing business continues to rise and when every dollar is more important than ever, healthcare payers, as well as providers, are in greater need of solutions to lower costs and increase efficiency. By implementing cutting-edge network contracting solutions, many organizations have been able to achieve these goals.

The market has seen numerous changes within the relationship between providers and payers, and new techniques have been introduced to operate within this market - this has greatly impacted how payers approach network contracting. Specifically, we are now operating within a market where new regulations are being introduced for Medicaid and Medicare, and new technologies and solutions have been released to better enhance provider contracting and management. Furthermore, declining budgets are demanding new approaches to how we do network contracting, and to how new opportunities can become profitable for a payer. This is the only conference on Network Contracting that will equip you with innovative strategies and tools to be better prepared for 2011.

In this unique event, we bring together leaders and innovators to share their insights and offer tested solutions on how to streamline the network contracting process. By attending the 2011 Annual Networking Contracting Congress, you will learn what others in your industry are doing to prepare for the challenges that lie ahead in 2011.
