Urgent Care Mini-Conference a Big Success

We just returned from the Fall Mini-Conference of the Urgent Care Association of America in Phoenix, AZ. The Association was expecting an attendance of fifty, but the urgent care community responded enthusiastically, and 125 urgent care professionals showed up at the conference. The enthusiasm of the attendees was exceptional, and the most common theme of goodbye was, "See you in Daytona," i.e., the 2007 National Convention of UCAOA (May 9-12, 2007).

I had the privelege of sharing three talks, 1) MCO Negotiation for Startup Urgent Care Centers, 2) Problem-Based Coding, and 3) Specialized Codes in Urgent Care (S9083, S9088, 99050, 99051 and 99058). All talks from the mini-conference will be available on CD through the UCAOA in a few weeks.

It has been a joy to watch UCAOA develop its vision to be a democratic, representative, professional organization of the highest caliber. Congratulations are due to Lou Ellen Horwitz (Executive Director, UCAOA) for the excellent quality she delivered at her first UCAOA conference.

See you in Daytona.
