Networking to problem solve, regulation updates and broad based healthcare education are just a few of the benefits received from AAHAM.

I strongly encourage our patient accounting leadership to actively participate in AAHAM at the local chapter and national levels. It is one of the best values offered by our industry today. The education provided at the meeting provides current knowledge with regard to regulatory and payor issues. Just as important is the tremendous opportunity for networking with peers, payors, regulators and recognized experts. National networking exposes our Central Pennsylvania community hospital to the thoughts and ideas from our nation’s best performing institutions.

As a medical professional, I am highly supportive of and appreciative of AAHAM. My office manager is active with AAHAM and benefits that accrue to my practice by virtue of her active involvement include an efficient way for her to keep up with new laws and regulations through AAHAM. Her ability to network with other office managers and healthcare professionals, both online and at the Annual National Institute ensures that her performance remains efficient and “cutting edge.”

The professional development and certification programs of AAHAM provide and encourage skill development and knowledge acquisition, which are likely not available elsewhere. In other administrative disciplines such as Accounting and Medical Records there are formal educational and certification opportunities. In my opinion Patient Finance is a very complex and rapidly changing discipline. Professional development and certification programs such as those offered by AAHAM are important in cultivating the high level of skill and knowledge required for effective performance in today’s very demanding world of Patient Finance.
