Planning Your Submission
Planning Your Submission
- Program – Decide the trainings that best fit your session idea(s). Submissions on all topics are welcome.
- Submission Considerations – All submissions should include “how-to” content, best practices, and/or a diversity of perspectives. Product/company specific sales pitches will not be accepted by the committee.
- Levels: Is your session for a novice, someone with experience, or an expert in the industry? Write learning objectives and descriptions that fit your audience. Only presentations for novices should include introductory or generic information on health care fraud.
- Time: Could this be a 15-20 minute micro session, a standard 50-60 minute presentation, or a longer 90-minute topic? Consider the number of speakers, how quickly each one presents, their prior speaking experience, and the breadth and depth of material.
- Learning Objectives: You will need to provide three (3) learning objectives. These statements specify what participants will learn during your session.
- Description: Clearly describe what materials the session will cover, explain any emerging facets or, if a common topic, why it should be revisited, any interactive or unusual aspects of the presentation, why participants will care about this topic, and, if necessary, expand on participant takeaways.
- Case Study – If submitting a case study, please explain why the case is significant. Key discussion points could be: how the case started, if multiple agencies or carriers worked the case, details of the scheme being perpetrated, any unique attributes, lessons learned, and the status of the case. All case study presentations will need to include at least three (3) takeaways for the audience.
- Speaker Biographies: Submit a brief bio that includes relevant industry experience, education, or specialized training. Please submit even if you are a frequent NHCAA speaker.
- Deadlines – Submit your presentation idea(s) by the stated deadlines. Once your information is gathered, it should take 10 -15 minutes to complete the submission. Webinar and On Demand ideas will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
