DEAR O&P COLLEAGUE:
This is the LAST CALL for you to join us at the 2nd Annual California
Orthotic and Prosthetic Association (COPA) Educational Event on Friday,
March 2, 2012 hosted at Cal State University Dominguez Hills O&P Program
in Long Beach, California.
This one-day event will include three concurrent tracks.
The combined clinical-business track includes a mix of topics but of
CRITICAL importance to California O&P businesses are presentations by:
State Compensation Insurance Fund (SCIF), the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services (CMS) Regional Office concerning the scope of ongoing
RAC audits and pending Medicaid(MediCal) audits.
COPA has been able to secure a presentation from the supervising claims
personnel and the southern California regional manager from Affiliated
Computer Services (ACS) the new MediCal fiscal intermediary! Numerous
COPA members have had significant claims issues following the transition
from EDS to ACS in October 2011. COPA has already assisted several
members directly with claims and TAR issues. Here’s your chance to get
YOUR questions resolved directly from the source!
There are only a couple seats remaining for this segment!
As of Saturday 2/26 there are two seats remaining in The “hands-on”
orthotic workshop covering the Allard USA “Custom ToeOFF and COMBO” and
the Becker Orthopedic “Stance Control – Use of Adjustable Assessment
KAFO’s”. This orthotic workshop includes a comprehensive, hands on
“Advanced C-Spine Stabilization” presented by Ossur. This will include
HALO and trauma spine care! These are “hands-on” workshops using the lab
facilities at CSUDH!
The prosthetic workshop is sold out.
The exhibitor space has been sold out.
COPA is also proud to be honoring one of COPA’s original Founding
Father’s – Sam Hamontree,CP(e) in the Exhibitor Gallery during lunch.
