Day 1—Tuesday, February 26, 2019
Breakout Session 1

1. Assessing the Competency of Low- and No-Volume Practitioners
   During this session, medical staff leaders will learn how to develop a strategy to guide their hospitals’ relationships with low- and no-volume practitioners, and MSPs will learn how to establish systems to verify practitioner competence. Necessary strategies for effectively credentialing and privileging low-volume providers, as well as meeting OPPE and FPPE requirements, will also be discussed. 
    

2. Fair Hearings, Part 1: Bringing Practitioners Through the Corrective Action Process
   This session will address the formal corrective action process that medical staffs should follow to support a fair hearing, and address the “smoking guns” to show what happens when the process is not done correctly, and/or the current process has loopholes that create problems.
    

3. Provider Enrollment Solutions: Improving Payer Approvals
   During this session, attendees will gain an understanding of the payer credentialing process and requirements under Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) standards. Attendees will also learn methods to reduce lost revenue due to payer credentialing delays and implement efficient enrollment processes.
