NAHRI’s 2018 Revenue Integrity Symposium is where the policy meets the practical. The speakers and other attendees are “living” revenue integrity daily and have tremendous value to share, and it is great to realize you have others with the same passion in their work. The event will be held October 16–17 at the Wigwam Resort in Litchfield Park (Phoenix), Arizona.

NAHRI’s Revenue Integrity Symposium (RIS) will take place this year October 16–17 at the Wigwam Resort in Litchfield, Arizona, outside Phoenix. I think the RIS is a great way to stay up to date on new rules and regulations. It also allows for great networking. We all have complex positions that are not easily learned, and it helps to discuss with other professionals.
The National Association of Healthcare Revenue Integrity’s (NAHRI) 2018 Revenue Integrity Symposium is a great opportunity to learn from and network with peers. There are many interesting and timely topics to be covered. I’m looking forward to many of my colleagues’ presentations and it’s difficult to single out just one; I’m also very excited about the sessions I’m participating in.
The Revenue Integrity Symposium presents a great opportunity to not only learn but also to network with other individuals who are in the same role you are. It provides a forum in which to learn and understand how they are handling certain situations.
The Revenue Integrity Symposium is truly one of the first and most comprehensive revenue integrity programs available in the country. Anyone with responsibilities in any revenue cycle related function or process, should consider attending.
The Revenue Integrity Symposium (RIS) is such an important event to anyone in the revenue integrity profession because while there are many conferences that touch upon aspects of revenue integrity, RIS is the only one entirely dedicated to that topic.
Having a national event like the National Association of Healthcare Revenue Integrity’s 2018 Revenue Integrity Symposium allows our profession to great a network and a presence that is critical for our success. During this event, I am most looking forward to meeting members of NAHRI who share the same professional compassion as I do.
Ensuring that documentation is complete and code assignment is accurate is challenging enough—but how do you convince physicians of the value of accurate documentation and coding when the services might not be covered by the payer?
The session I’m most looking forward to presenting at NAHRI's 2018 Revenue Integrity Symposium is “Next Generation Technologies: Practical Guidance for Success” because I really want to help demystify what appears to be misinformation, miscommunication, and perhaps just an overall lack of understanding about how CMS’ formulas for outliers and NTAP work. I also want to help clarify how what providers report today impacts payment rates two years down the road.
NAHRI’s 2018 Revenue Integrity Symposium is fast approaching, and I am very much looking forward to what’s in store—both at the conference and in the Phoenix area where I reside. As a reminder, the Revenue Integrity Symposium will be held October 16–17 at the Wigwam Resort in Litchfield Park (Phoenix), Arizona. This is NAHRI’s premier event for revenue integrity and revenue cycle networking and education.
