Two-thousand and seventeen has already been a year of questions for the health care industry. So where do you look when no one seems to have the answers?
Health care is a profession that’s under constant change. New rules and regulations are introduced with regularity – not to mention the goals of the new administration. Whatever happens, change is practically a guarantee for the future of your industry. Will you be able to turn uncertainty into opportunity for your organization or clients?
Whether or not the industry’s questions have been answered, one thing is certain – your organization or clients must have a tactical response. Approaching these challenges with a strategic plan takes a wide range of knowledge. The industry leaders and specialists speaking at the FICPA’s Health Care Industry Conference will equip you with the actionable insights that put your organization ahead of the game.
Our committee of financial professionals in health care worked hard to help us put together an agenda that covers the crucial topics on your horizon. For this event, we secured national-level instructors who understand the complexities of your ever-evolving industry, the regulations that you are trusted to navigate and the best ways for your organization to approach what’s already here and what lies ahead.
We’ll kick off our agenda with nationally recognized expert Robert Anderson for his Keynote Address, “Modern-Day Cybercrime: A World-Wide Epidemic.” As a former National Security Executive for the FBI, Anderson has profiled many high-level cases and was a frequent guest on CNN and MSNBC. Explore the modern cybercrime threats from China, Russia, Iran, hacktivists and criminal organizations to learn how economic espionage has evolved over the last ten years. What do these trends mean for your own cybersecurity strategy?
If the new political environment is on your mind, our conference is the perfect place to get some clarity on the change and new opportunities arising within the health care markets. Start on Thursday with the lunch presentation from well-known attorney, author and business advisor Jonathan Fleece: “Post-Election World for the Health Care Industry.” He’ll share his perspectives, forecasts and recommendations as you face the transformations ahead. In the afternoon, join our Expert Panel on “The Impact of the Presidential Election on Strategy and Alternative Payment Systems.” On Friday, be there for our “Washington Update” in the morning and don’t miss Ann Bittinger’s session on how the imminent MACRA and CMS Quality Payment Program reimbursement changes could affect physician compensation – unless the Trump administration and Congress do away with the Affordable Care Act and Medicare. Ann is a nationally recognized expert on health care and serves as the lead Attorney at The Bittinger Law Firm.
Our agenda also features a new track recommended for young CPAs and those new to the industry to get an introduction to health care; the terminology and tools; a look at the reimbursement and revenue cycle; and an update on hot topics.
