WHAT IS HAPPENING WITHIN THE INDUSTRY & WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND!

The passage of healthcare reform brings considerable changes to the entire healthcare system; nobody can predict what is going to happen and how healthcare providers and payers will be impacted. Both groups are watching this developing situation as payers do not yet understand how the new legislation will directly affect them and subsequently trickle down to providers and contract negotiations. The uncertainty concerning what will happen after 2012 has both providers and payers struggling with how to realign resources with what they anticipate the reimbursement process will entail.

Furthermore, all participants within the healthcare payments arena must contend with the critical issue of complying with ICD-10 and HIPAA 5010 guidelines. Health systems and insurance plans need systems and strategies in place to ensure that their coding, billing and claims infrastructure are ready to accommodate the new formats. Moreover, providers and payers must deal with other priorities such as administrative simplification and understand what type of capital investment is necessary in order to achieve these efficiencies.

In this high-level conference, we bring together providers and payers to share their insights and expertise on how to maximize ROI and enhance efficacy, including challenges encountered and value realized. Our distinguished speaking faculty - comprised of hospitals, health systems, health insurers and industry experts - reveals best practices for optimizing revenue cycle operations and the payment process in an evolving world. This exclusive event targets senior level executives in order to maximize educational and networking opportunities.
