Featured Session: Determining Cost Efficiencies, Financial Implications and Market Strategies For Future Stars Success

Featured Speaker: Charles J. Russo, Regional Vice-President: Tennessee & Virginia, Medicare & Retirement, United Healthcare

About the Session: Once you get a 3.0 star rating, the financial implications of changing your rating play a very important role in the future of your business. Learn how to increase star ratings in the following ways:

• • Measure how much a half star rating or one full star improvement will impact your business
• • Learn which measurements carry the most weight when CMS scores your plan
• • Evaluate the costs/contracting strategies associated with raising some of these highly weighted measures
• • Building a quality infrastructure within your organization that will meet the long term needs of the Stars Program
