Happy Customers

Healthcare providers love accurate invoices. Getting them on the right distribution contracts and tiers the first time around is critical to customer satisfaction.

Happy Employees

Your team wants to learn and embrace contract management best practices. This conference gives the pride of professional development, and reduces the frustration of pricing disputes and rework!

Happy Bosses

Pricing discrepancies increase operating costs for all business partners. Reducing these errors at the outset is great for the bottom line!

“Of all the conferences I’ve attended, this one proved to be the most valuable. It was so refreshing to be in a room full of professionals who truly understand the complexities we navigate in this industry.”

“We are all gears in the wheels of contract administration, and it’s inspiring to see how passionate everyone is about solving recurring but nuanced issues together.”

“This is one of the only opportunities where providers, manufacturers, and distributors are all in one place to discuss issues and improve processes.”

Show Your Supervisor How You’ll Both Benefit

Need to convince your boss to invest in your attendance at the Contract Administration Conference?

It seems like a no-brainer: it’s the only industry event focused exclusively on pricing management for healthcare products, it get consistently high ratings from attendees, and it’s packed with insights! But if you need ideas for making your case, here’s some advice from experts*. When you propose a conference for approvals:

DO focus on what you’ll specifically bring back to the organization as return on investment

DON’Tfocus on how much you want to go

Include Specifics About:
  • Session content. Which conference sessions are most relevant to your organization and your role? How do they tie to problems you are trying to overcome?
  • Best practices. Does your organization fully understand and embrace industry standards for contract administration practices? If so, it’s your opportunity to advance industry adoption by interacting with your counterparts from other companies. And if not, this is the place to learn.
  • Vendor contacts. What business partners are you likely to interact with? What vendor sponsors do you plan to visit?
  • Results. If you gain an idea that allows you to reduce pricing errors, better manage contract eligibility, increase chargeback approvals — how much is that worth to your organization in staff time savings? In increased revenue?

Be sure to invite your supervisor to join you at the conference if it’s a fit for them. And if they can’t attend, make sure they know you’ll bring back plenty of notes and business cards, and share what you learn with both your supervisor and teammates.
