2nd Annual Medicare Compliance Seminar:
"From Soup to Nuts":
Basic Medicare Compliance Theory and Advanced Practice Strategies
to Defend and Reduce Medicare-related Exposure
in Workers' Compensation Defense

We are proud to announce that on Friday, September 29, 2017, we will be presenting our second annual Medicare Compliance Seminar. Attorneys from our Medicare Compliance Practice Department will be presenting an "appetizer" of a comprehensive overview of how Medicare laws and issues impact workers' compensation and liability claims. This will be followed by a "main course" of successful legal strategies for reducing costs and exposure, including actual case results. Finally, we will wrap up with a "dessert" of a panel question and answer session to address any issues our participants have. We look forward to an exceptional afternoon of continuing education. Please join us on September 29, 2017, at the Chicago Marriot in Oak Brook, Illinois.

Please RSVP by September 22^nd to Maureen Feltman at mfeltman@bcm-law.com or 312-334-9498.
