What We Deliver
Healthcare leaders do not need more activity. They need better performance - measured as outcomes.

The 2026 New Jersey & Metro Philadelphia HFMA 50th Annual Institute takes place October 21–23, 2026, at Borgata Casino & Spa in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The regional event brings together healthcare finance, revenue cycle and operational leaders addressing issues that affect providers, payers and consumers in a changing healthcare environment.
The published topic areas span compliance, cost reporting, data analytics, financial reporting, managed care and payer updates, revenue cycle, reimbursement, revenue integrity, tax updates and leadership development. Together, they create a useful setting for connecting external changes to internal controls, operating capacity and financial decisions rather than treating each issue as a separate technical concern.
For finance and revenue cycle executives, the value lies in testing whether performance signals lead to the same conclusion. Higher collections can coexist with rising labor costs. Better denial recovery can mask preventable upstream defects. Strong claim acceptance can still produce weak reimbursement. The Institute offers a setting to compare the controls behind the numbers and separate durable gains from downstream rescue work.
Matthew Curry, CRCR (Strategic Client Growth Director) will attend the Annual Institute. Meet with him to trace a measurable financial gap to its operating cause and explore how upstream accuracy, governed technology and visible accountability can improve revenue cycle performance without adding more work downstream.
Use reimbursement, payer-update and revenue-integrity sessions to compare where expected payment diverges from actual payment. Trace whether the gap begins in contracts, charge capture, coding or follow-up. Linking revenue integrity to underpayment recovery prevents strong front-end metrics from hiding yield loss.
Revenue cycle and analytics discussions should distinguish successful appeals from durable prevention. Examine denial volume, overturn rates, touch counts and the source of recurring defects together. First-Pass Performance shifts attention upstream, where eligibility, authorization, documentation and coding controls can reduce rework before a claim requires rescue.
Data analytics and financial-reporting sessions can reveal whether technology reduces cost or merely redistributes effort. Compare exception volume, manual touches, cycle time and staffing after implementation. A governed revenue cycle technology ecosystem should prioritize valuable work, automate repeatable tasks and expose where human intervention remains necessary.
Compliance, reporting and payer discussions depend on leaders seeing the same performance truth. Clarify who owns each variance, when it becomes visible and how corrective action is verified. Open Accountability makes performance inspectable, while an A/R reduction case study shows how operating cadence can turn visibility into sustained control.
