If you don't know the implications of Tenet Healthcare's move to provide revenue cycle and accounts receivable management services through its newly created subsidiary, Conifer Health Solutions, you should. Because this bold change in Tenet's business model could alter the medical accounts receivable management (ARM) industry in ways you may never have imagined.
Your industry is changing in other ways as well. The economic turmoil many companies experienced at the end of 2008 isn't going away—and will likely get worse before it gets better. And don't forget about the new political landscape, which will make forecasting the future of the healthcare industry and the ARM healthcare market even harder.
So how can you possibly predict what kind of impact these changes will have on your healthcare collections in 2009? Find out where your industry is headed and what the experts say you can expect this year when you register to attend Kaulkin Ginsberg's latest Executive Conference Call, "The Changing Face of Healthcare Receivables—and What It Means for Your Business," on February 4, 2009. Listen as our panel of experts from the healthcare provider, healthcare finance association and ARM industries provides insights into the latest healthcare ARM trends.
Our panel includes:
- David Nosacka, Creighton University Medical Center, Tenet COO (former Tenet and Triad CFO)
- Joe Murgo, former CFO of HPA (current Conifer client)
- Steve Mooney, Head of Revenue Cycle Solutions, Conifer Health Solutions
- Richard L. Clarke, President and CEO, HFMA
- Michael Klozotsky, (moderator) Analyst, Kaulkin Ginsberg Company
Gain an understanding of Tenet's spin-off of Conifer and its implications for the healthcare and ARM industries from people in the know. Find out if a provider-owned subsidiary purchasing medical portfolios will change the competitive landscape for other healthcare debt buyers. Will hospitals need to develop revenue streams that don't include the delivery of medical services to remain financially viable, and how might those new business models affect ARM companies?
For one low price—only $249 per dial-in location—you and your entire team can take part in this fast-paced, insightful Conference Call. Just assemble your key team members in one room and you can all learn together. Best of all, you have the opportunity to ask your own questions and get advice that's tailored to your specific needs.
Here's just some of what you'll learn during this timely 75-minute conference:
