Last Chance to Register for ASCA’s Winter Seminar

ASCA’s 2019 Winter Seminar, January 17–19 in Austin, Texas, will offer three days of world-class education designed specifically for ASC professionals. The interactive educational experiences available at this small-venue program combined with the abundant opportunities it offers to network with your colleagues from across the country make this a can’t miss event.

This year’s seminar features three specialized tracks:

    • Infection Prevention Techniques for ASCs will examine best practices in sterilization, instrument reprocessing and the policies and procedures you need to sustain a comprehensive infection prevention program in your ASC.
    • Coding Update & Reimbursement Strategies will ensure that you maximize reimbursements at your center by preparing your ASC for the coding and billing changes coming in 2019.
    • ASC Management Essentials (new in 2019) will examine the best ways for ASCs to remain compliant and in control of changes this new year.

Register now. ASCA members save $100 when registering one attendee and $200 for each additional attendee.
