The event opens with a session on denial management at 1:05 p.m. Michelle Scott, area vice president of revenue cycle services operations at Veradigm, will walk practice leaders through strategies to improve first-pass claim rates, shorten accounts receivable cycles, and reduce the administrative burden that denials place on staff.

At 2 p.m., Anders Gilberg, senior vice president of government affairs at the Medical Group Management Association, will deliver a policy and reimbursement update covering Medicare reimbursement changes, telehealth, quality reporting, and surprise medical billing developments coming out of Washington.

The 2:50 p.m. session, led by Bronson Cox, chief operating officer at Encoda, takes a broader view of financial health, drawing on a national survey of practice leaders to identify the metrics and workflows that separate high-performing practices from those simply surviving the revenue cycle.

The conference closes at 3:50 p.m. with a session on hiring and delegation led by Justin Lam, CEO of Cool Blue VA. Lam will present a framework for shifting from task-based delegation to outcome-based ownership, including how virtual assistants can serve as a reliable execution layer for independent practices.

Registration is free.
