FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

OLDWICK - APRIL 14, 2014 11:51 AM (EDT)
Sweeping changes in regulations are having a profound impact on how Americans are receiving health care and how it's being paid for. The Affordable Care Act has raised more questions than answers when it comes to the emerging risks surrounding ambulatory care facilities. In a webinar hosted by Best's Review, a panel of experts will examine what agents and brokers need to know about the unique risks surrounding such facilities. Topics will include mitigation efforts to protect patients against diagnostic, administrative, and clinical errors and the role that insurance is playing. This webinar is set for Tuesday, May 6 at 2 p.m. Eastern Time.
