With provider institutions averaging a yearly spend upwards of $26 billion on revenue cycle management operations, you can not afford to miss the 3rd Annual World Congress Leadership Summit on Revenue Cycle Innovations, the only industry event developed with Zimmerman LLC that convenes today’s forefront healthcare financial thought-leaders to discuss strategies for increased profitability and continued compliance within the next generation of the revenue cycle^[1].

Pre-Event Workshop — BUILDING A RAC SHIELD: IS YOUR ORGANIZATION READY FOR THE RACS?
September 14th, 2008; The Westin Casuarina Las Vegas

With the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services planning to roll out a permanent, nationwide RAC program by 2010, you can’t afford to miss this half-day Workshop to hear more about the RAC program from key-stakeholders with first-hand experience and to learn more about the tools you can use to successfully prepare your organization for review, including:

• How and why do the typical approaches to RAC readiness fall short?
• What are the best practices in facilitating the intensive compliance training and responding to the nationwide rollout of the RACs?
• What are some of the solutions currently being utilized (appealing payment discrepancies, etc)?
• What are the key tools for diagnosing your exposure?
• Case Study Working Groups: What can you learn and apply to your organization from those who have been through the RACs?
