The ABC’s of Medicare Plan Finance – A Pre-Summit Boot Camp (hint: The best run plans know how to keep it simple)

In an environment of rapid change, it’s critical you know what operational metrics deserve your attention — and what will only cause "analysis paralysis." Join senior consultants from industry leader Gorman Health Group for a half-day seminar that presents solutions to the key financial challenges that plans are currently facing.

» Learn practical techniques for performing "financial heart surgery" on the walking patient that is your plan by trending forward current enrollment, MLR, risk adjustment (and more!) data in order to inform multi-year product strategies.
» Learn how the complexities of payment have made enrollment departments revenue management centers for Part D sponsors.
» And "get back to basics" when it comes to medical management, improving outcomes for your members as you reduce unnecessary expenditures. Not just for finance officers!
