MT HFMA Volunteer Opportunity

‘Tis the Season for Thanks & Giving!

We are looking for HFMA members to give back to their communities this season.  We have multiple community events scheduled throughout the state.  Please take time to participate in one of the events or grab friends and family and create your own!  Here is a link to register your new event or to join one http://www.cvent.com/d/9hqzky/4W!  Each volunteer counts as an entry for a drawing of a $100 donation to the organization that the member is contributing their time to.   We look forward to seeing and hearing about your events!

Revenue Cycle Questions for Your Peers

Do you have questions specific to Patient Access, Patient Financial Services or Revenue Cycle but you aren’t sure who to ask?  There is an email group that could help you out!

If you’d like to be part of this email blast for Q&A, please reach out to Tricia Wagner, Director of Revenue Integrity, Community Hospital of Anaconda at TWagner@chofa.net.  Ask her to be added to the email blast and/or send her your questions.

DY2M – 2019-2020 Chair Michael Allen, FHFMA, CPA

As HFMA’s 2019-20 National Chair, my theme for the year is Dare You 2 Move.  We are at a critical, high-stakes juncture in the healthcare industry, maybe like never before. I believe it is important for anyone who wants to make a difference in this environment to find something uncomfortable and start doing it now. We need to get off the sidelines and into the arena. The dissonance of where we are and where we could be is not going to fix itself. The healthcare cost problem is not going to fix itself. Thus, I am challenging us all to not only identify how we — individually and collectively — might bridge that gap but also to get in there and move on it.
