“I enjoy involvement with the working committees for reimbursement, payment and payors. It has been an effective process with all involved parties at the table. Resolutions to many of these issues would not have been possible without this support of the IHCA/INCAL. This venue offers a means to express concerns from a grassroots perspective to those leaders that can control outcomes.”
