Amazing! The first two days of CI 2015 has been simply an amazing, exhilarating experience for me. This is my first CI and it has thus far exceeded my expectations. It has blow away any other conferences that I have ever attended including NATA, AAPC, HC Pro, and AHIMA, which has more paid members, certified members, and resources. However, as most of my HCCA peers can attest, HCCA has been and will always be resourceful, doing more with less. From the greeting smiles of HCCA employees at registration to the friendly hotel staff, HCCA has put on a fabulous conference with great attention to details. I have thoroughly enjoyed all the sessions, networking options, and keynote speakers, OIG Attorney General Daniel Levinson and Whistleblower Michael Woodford. Most of all, I have enjoyed meeting and developing professional relationships with many of those that I met on the SCCE forum. Although I am sad that the first two two days have quickly passed me by, I am certainly looking forward to using the remaining time I have to pay if forward in touching people’s lives any way I can.
