Webinars

This webinar showcases how rural and Critical Access hospitals can strengthen financial sustainability by combining insurance discovery, presumptive charity/FAP classification, and reimbursement intelligence inside existing billing workflows. The session will include provider-class results and case-study examples from Effingham Health System and Jenkins County Medical Center.

• Understand the provider CFO/CEO perspective on operational value, reimbursement lift, workflow integration, and audit readiness.

Creating and assessing a managed care strategy can be overwhelming due to market nuances, products, and provider shifts; just to name a few obstacles. We will outline how best to simplify your approach and dive into the key pillars of such planning. This includes key components such as provider enrollment, contract language review, negotiation tactics, and analytics to best develop a manageable plan by payor and product. We will also highlight trends in policy, revenue cycle analysis, relationship management, and performance review necessary to assess your payors. Afterwards, you should have more tactics to build leverage and level the playing field.

Session Objectives:

• Present recent and current market trends.
• Data to support other presentation objectives.
• Outline of best practices and recommendations.

In August 2025, SHP hosted Attorney Michele Madison of Bradley Arant Boult and Cumming, who provided critical insights into Georgia’s Tort Reform legislation, highlighting components of Senate Bill 68 and Senate Bill 69 which passed during Georgia’s 2025 Legislative Session. Tort reform was a signature legislative achievement of the most recent legislative session in Georgia so please take a moment to revisit with Michele who covered regulatory changes, policy updates, implementation timelines and impacts on the healthcare industry.
