The 6th World Congress Leadership Summit on Advancing the Profitability of Wound Care Centers

This conference focuses on the business implications of running a financially successful wound or hyperbaric center. Due to the economy, profitability is the #1 key to maintaining business. CMS' changes to reimbursement policies, codes and language, has made it increasingly difficult and complicated to attain proper reimbursement and documentation. Increased competition leads to more intensive marketing and the need to compete with new technological innovations.

By partnering with the American College of Hyperbaric Medicine and enlisting the advice of industry experts, delegates have the opportunity to hear sessions on how to work with reimbursement, new alterations in coding and reactive strategies on the changing health care system. Successful case studies will show best practices on marketing effectively to reach a paying target audience. In addition, industry leaders will introduce new technologies specifically allowing for proper reimbursement and explain how to make it financially viable for the practice.

NEW FOR 2012:

  • Learn about updates in coding (ICD-10, CPT) and how to properly document to maximize reimbursement from CMS experts
  • Witness best practices in successful marketing campaigns from four other centers
  • Understand how new reimbursable technologies can help you save time and money, ultimately raising ROI
  • Ten case studies on how financially successful centers attract the right patient mix, talent pool, service line, and reimbursement strategies
  • How to react to changes in ObamaCare reforms: what is going to happen next and how to respond to ensure the viability of your center
  • Meet and network with industry leaders as they share their secrets to running a financially successful center
