ACDIS update: Call for speakers open for ACDIS’ sister association
Calling all revenue integrity experts: The National Association of Healthcare Revenue Integrity (NAHRI) is currently seeking speakers for the 2022 Revenue Integrity Symposium (RIS), to be held September 19–20, 2022, in Phoenix, Arizona.
RIS is the can’t-miss event for revenue integrity, revenue cycle, and Medicare compliance education and high-level networking—it’s also a great opportunity to hone and demonstrate your professional speaking skills.
Plus, this year NAHRI is accepting speaker proposals for the following two virtual conferences. You can submit proposals to speak at either of these events through the same application as for RIS:
- 2022 Mastering Utilization Review and Patient Status: A NAHRI Virtual Event (March 8–9, 2022)
- 2022 Critical Access Hospital and Rural Health Clinics Virtual Symposium (April 12–13, 2022)
NAHRI is seeking proposals on a range of topics and geared toward both beginners and advanced revenue integrity professionals. Whether you’re breaking down complex regulations into actionable steps or sharing lessons learned and success stories from your facility, they want to hear from you.
They are looking for speakers to present on all aspects of revenue integrity, Medicare compliance, and revenue cycle. If you don’t see your hot topic listed below, please write and let us know what expertise you can bring to the podium. Some suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
- Highlights of IPPS and OPPS updates
- Improving a revenue integrity program using analytics, metrics, and key performance indicators
- Maintaining an up-to-date and compliant chargemaster and setting policies for charging for procedures and supplies
- Best practices for reducing payer denials using targeted data analytics
- Current payer audit targets and strategies to protect revenue
- Strategies for designing and implementing a revenue integrity program, developing workflows, setting goals, and staffing
- Efficiently addressing NCCI edits and MUEs
- Enhancing your revenue integrity career through professional development and leadership skills
- Understanding the impact of patient status and payer regulations
- Developing strategies for accurately documenting, coding, and billing patient encounters and stays
Before applying, please ensure you are prepared with the following:
- Biographical information, including contact information, professional biography, and relevant speaking experience
- Professional headshot
- Contact information for a professional reference
- Educational background information, including institution and area of study
- Presentation information, including an outline or agenda, learning objectives, title, and audience level with rationale

The deadline to submit your application is Tuesday, January 3, 2022. Please complete all fields. Leaving the form open for a lengthy period of time may cause it to time out, so it’s advised to draft your submission in a separate document and paste it into the appropriate fields.
Speakers will be asked to indicate which event they’re applying to. Speakers are welcome to submit more than one session but must fill out a separate form for each submission.
NAHRI will waive admission fees for all selected speakers and co-speakers. However, 2022 RIS speakers and co-speakers will be responsible for the cost of their own travel, accommodations, and meals.
The NAHRI Conference Committee will review applications in January, so apply today!
