Catch the early bird: Learn how to save on your Revenue Integrity Symposium ticket
Past Revenue Integrity Symposium (RIS) attendees and speakers agree: It’s a can’t-miss event for revenue integrity education and networking. The best part? Savvy revenue integrity professionals can take advantage of several ways to save on the cost of attendance, scoring premier education without breaking the budget. This year, RIS takes place October 15–16 in Orlando.
The early bird discount deadline is Saturday, August 17. The discount gives registrants $100 off their conference registration. But that’s only one way attendees can save.
National Association of Healthcare Revenue Integrity (NAHRI) members automatically receive $100 off their RIS registration. That means members who register before August 17 will pay $999, a $200 price cut over their non-member, non-early-bird peers. Call customer service at 615-724-7200 to receive your exclusive member discount. In addition, NAHRI members get free admission to a special members-only networking reception on October 14, the night before RIS officially kicks off. It’s a great chance to plan to meet face-to-face with NAHRI members and leadership you may have connected with on the NAHRI forums, heard speak on members-only quarterly calls, or through other NAHRI initiatives. NAHRI members attending this reception should RSVP online as soon as possible to reserve their space.
If you’re not already a NAHRI member, you can purchase a membership with your RIS registration for $55, which is $100 off the regular price.
Everyone can take advantage of our pre- and post-conference discount. When you register for RIS and any of the four pre- or post-conferences, you’ll get a 15% discount on your order. This year’s pre-conference events are Medicare Boot Camp®—Utilization Review Version and Leader As Coach: Leadership Development Master Class. The post-conference events are Medicare Boot Camp — Audits, Appeals, and Denials Version and Medicare Boot Camp—Provider-Based Departments Version. You can read about all four on the RIS page. Be sure to share the information with your colleagues in other departments who may be interested in attending any of the pre- and post-conferences.
If several individuals from your facility plan to attend the conference, you may be eligible for a group discount. When you register a group of five before August 17, each person’s fee drops to $960, which is the equivalent of getting one person’s registration for free.
