Summer of Strategy Webinar: Payor Contracting & Negotiation Strategy
July 14, 2026 | 1-2:30 p.m. ET
Presented by Ron Howrigon, Founder and CEO of Fulcrum Strategies
Payor contract negotiations don't happen in a vacuum and neither should your preparation. In this working session, bring a real contract issue or upcoming renewal and work through it live with Ron Howrigon, a nationally recognized expert in radiology payor contracting. Together you will examine contract language, identify risk areas, and build a negotiation framework you can actually use. You will leave with a concrete approach or talking points ready to put to work immediately. Whether you are heading into a rate renewal, responding to a proposed cut, or navigating difficult contract language for the first time, this session meets you where you are.
Upon completion attendees will be able to:
- Analyze contract language to identify risk areas, unfavorable terms, and opportunities for negotiation before entering payor discussions.
- Build a structured negotiation framework that accounts for common payor pushback tactics and positions your practice for stronger contract terms.
- Leave with a draft negotiation approach or talking points tailored to a real contract issue or renewal you bring to the session.

Summer of Strategy Webinar: Coding Intensive — Case-Based Problem Solving
July 21, 2026 | 1 - 2:30 p.m. ET
Presented by: Jennifer Studdard MLS, RCC, RCC-IR, CCS-P, CPC, CPCO, MSN-ARC
Radiology coding is not a straight line. Between overlapping procedures, complex modifiers, supervision requirements, and payer-specific rules, even experienced coders run into situations where the right answer is not obvious. This intensive working session tackles the hardest categories head-on using real, de-identified case scenarios. Participants work through documentation gaps, modifier application, compliance alignment, and gray-area situations where automation falls short.
Upon completion attendees will be able to:
- Apply correct modifier usage and procedure coding to complex, multi-step radiology scenarios using case-based examples.
- Identify documentation gaps that create compliance risk or reimbursement exposure and determine how to address them.
- Navigate gray-area coding situations using a structured decision framework aligned with current CMS and payer guidelines.

Federal Affairs & Governance Town Hall: The Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Proposed Rule
July 28, 2026 | 1-2 p.m. ET
Presented by: Linda Wilgus, CPA, FRBMA, Co-Executive Director, RBMA
The Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) proposed rule arrives every summer, and the implications for radiology practices are rarely straightforward.

The session also covers the ROOT Act and other legislative priorities RBMA is tracking on your behalf. Come ready to ask questions.
Upon completion attendees will be able to:
- Understand the key payment and policy changes in the MPFS proposed rule and their direct implications for radiology reimbursement.
- Identify where RBMA's advocacy efforts are focused, including No Surprises Act/IDR developments and the ROTA Act.
- Leave with specific action items and talking points to share with your practice leadership or engage with your congressional representatives.
