New therapies are getting into the hands of our kidney patients…but we are just beginning! Now, more than ever, we need more nephrology investigators to participate in clinical trials so we can continue getting more therapies approved. This workshop will equip community nephrologists with the strategic insights and practical know-how to establish a thriving clinical research initiative within their private practice.

This interactive workshop, jointly led by RPA and the International Society of Glomerular Disease (ISGD), will equip you with essential knowledge to craft a robust business plan and launch a successful clinical research program.

POV: RPA’s Billing and Coding Seminar directly contributed to a 5% year-over-year increase in my practice income. Participating in this seminar deepened my understanding of nephrology-specific billing guidelines and documentation requirements, allowing me to identify areas where our practice was undercoding. As a result, I was able to collaborate more effectively with our providers to ensure accurate coding and appropriate reimbursement.
