| By popular demand, Cade Saurage will repeat his well-received presentation on Managed Care Partnering at the National Association of Addiction Treatment Programs (NAATP) 2018 National Addiction Leadership Conference in Denver, May 20-22.
Cade, who is La Hacienda’s Director of Utilization Management and Partnerships, first spoke on the topic at last year’s NAATP conference to a standing-room-only audience in Austin. “There is great interest in the subject,” says Cade, who used his more than 15 years of experience in managed health care to speak about building relationships with insurance companies that, in turn, result in longer stays at treatment centers for patients. This year’s presentation will add ethics to the mix, reflecting NAATP’s emphasis on quality assurance. Also, Cade has invited a representative of the insurance industry to help lead the workshop. Joining him will be Debra Nussbaum, Senior Director of Behavioral Products and Optum/United Behavioral Health National Director. They will lead workshop participants through the process of creating and maintaining a successful, collaborative managed-care payment operation addressing ethics and strategy. Representing more than 600 member treatment facilities, NAATP sets standards for quality, caring therapeutic services for men and women, young and old, suffering from addictive diseases. |
