Revenue cycle leaders are navigating shifting regulatory landscapes with a cloud of uncertainty around government funding hanging over their heads. So, it makes sense that public policy emerged as the hot topic at the Revenue Cycle Exchange held February 5-7.
Several industry leaders gathered during the event to discuss their efforts to influence public policy.
Mike Finley, director of revenue cycle at Emplify Health, and Mike Gottesman, AVP of revenue cycle operations at Northwell Health, shared their insights on the intersection of healthcare policy and revenue cycle operations.
