The Fourth National Medicare RAC Summit

One of the most significant recent changes in the Medicare program has been the introduction of "recovery audit contracting" (RAC) as a way of ensuring proper payments for Medicare services. In the new RAC model, contingency fees serve as incentives for contractors to find improper overpayments (and underpayments) to Medicare services providers. This year's Fourth National Medicare RAC Summit will address this new model - for more information visit the Summit Website. Special Online Registration Offer for NAPH Members The Summit is pleased to offer deep discounts for clinicians and staff from member facilities

of the National Association of Public Hospitals and Health Systems (NAPH) who may find travel costs prohibitive for onsite participation and wish to attend online.

The standard provider rate for the online Summit starts at $795 and increases to $1,195 at the end of the Early Bird periods. Group rates start at groups of five or more for $595 each.

For NAPH members, however, we are pleased to offer the following deep discounts for the online Summit:

• An individual registration at $595

• Three people registering together for $1,500 (or more than three at $500 each)

(1) Registrations for a single individual can be done via the Internet with a credit card here.

Click either of the registration buttons (the discount is automatically built in) and enter “NAPH” in the box labeled “Enter optional registration code here.”

(2) Registrations for groups of three or more must be done with this downloadable form.

Fill out the attendee information at the top and enter “NAPH” in the Discount Code box at the bottom. Fill out a separate form for each person (this form can also be used for a single registration being paid with a check). Mail all forms together with a check or FAX them together with a credit card.

These rates are only for the online conference and do not apply to onsite attendance; however, the online option includes all content, including the Preconference Boot Camp and the entire Medicare RAC Certificate program. Flash drives can also be ordered for an additional $99 using these forms.
