Valuable Tips

Register early as sessions fill up quickly. On the day of the program, arrive early in order to allow plenty
of time for registration.
Please attend assigned sessions and understand that your schedule may be changed due to capacity
seating.
Be flexible. Some questions will exceed capacities of the program and you may have to meet with the
carrier representative at a different date and time for complete resolution.
Please be mindful of group dynamics. Side conversations and monopolization of speakers are
distracting to others.
Have an open mind. The goal of the day is information sharing and relationship building with carriers
and other practice groups.
Meeting rooms tend to fluctuate in temperature ... bring a sweater and dress in layers for comfort.
Remember to submit any health plan carrier questions by Friday, February 17. Specific coding
questions related to your practice should be addressed to your provider representative. Email questions
to [email protected].
To satisfy continuing education compliance requirements, certificates of completion will be provided as
documentation of program attendance on the day of the program. CEU credits are available.
