The Nation’s Premier Health Care Anti-Fraud Conference
It’s that time of year again to start planning for the NHCAA’s Annual Training Conference (ATC). This year we will be at the Gaylord Opryland in Nashville, Tennessee from November 18-21. As you’ve come to expect, ATC provides three days filled with motivating keynote speeches, over 60 educational sessions, multiple networking opportunities, and uncover new anti-fraud technologies in the Anti-Fraud Expo.
Begin preparing your submissions. A pdf version of the submission form is available to help you prepare.
Keep in mind the following areas we’re requesting on the submission form:
- Session levels – The ATC continues to appeal to professionals with over 5 years of experience in the health insurance industry. As a result, we are only looking for submissions where the content is directed at an intermediate and experienced level.
- Level II/ Intermediate – designed for individuals between 6-10 years
- Level III/ Experienced – designed for individuals with over 10 years of experience
- Data Analytics – The ATC Committee requests that all submissions include a description of how data is used in the investigation, what codes were identified, and what can be replicated in other investigations. When submitting the abstract, provide the following information:
- What data techniques were used to find the scheme?
- How do you use analytics to drive an investigation?
- What are the codes identified in this scheme (CPT, ICD-10, HCPCS, REV codes)?
- Session takeaways – ATC evaluations continue to emphasize the need for information and skills that can be applied when attendees return to their offices. As a result, presenters must include a closing slide that identifies three (3) lessons that the audience can use back in the office on their investigations.
- Presenters are asked to either create a one-page handout with session takeaways and codes discussed in the presentation OR provide a pdf of their presentation for attendees. NHCAA will ask that this be submitted before the conference.

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.
