INVITATION TO EXHIBIT AT THE HCFA/DOJ FRAUD AND ABUSE TECHNOLOGY CONFERENCE On June 26-28, 2000, the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) will host an electronic fraud and abuse technology conference entitled "Combating Health Care Fraud and Abuse: Technologies and Approaches for the 21st Century." This event will take place at the Double Tree Hotel National Airport, 300 Army Navy Drive, Arlington, VA 22202. Open only to Federal and state government officials and their agents, the conference is designed to serve as an information exchange forum on electronic tools, analytical techniques, and approaches that will enable stakeholders to enhance their success in combating fraud and abuse in public health care programs. The point-of-contact for the conference is given at the end of this announcement. CONFERENCE EXHIBITS: A significant portion of this conference will be devoted to exhibits of information technology-based products that could potentially be used to combat fraud and abuse in the Medicare, Medicaid and other Federal health care programs. Specifically, HCFA/DOJ is interested in products that fall into one or more of the following categories: (1) health care fraud and abuse detection and analysis solutions; (2) comprehensive health care data analysis solutions; (3) fraud and abuse solutions currently used in other industries; (4) solutions that address the core technical requirements of HCFA's current approach to combating fraud and abuse (e.g., efficient storage, retrieval and manipulation of large data sets; enterprise reporting; complex statistical analysis; etc.); and (5) solutions that may dictate entirely alternative or complementary approaches to Medicare or Medicaid fraud and abuse detection, analysis and prevention. EXHIBIT INFORMATION: If your organization has developed an information technology-based product(s) that could potentially be used to combat fraud and abuse in public health care programs, HCFA/DOJ cordially invites you to exhibit your product(s) to government decision-makers during this exciting conference. Table-top exhibit spaces are available to interested organizations on a first-come, first-served basis for $800 each. Due to a limited number of spaces, exhibitors will be limited to one space each. To maximize exhibitor exposure, there are a number of functions that will draw conference attendees to your booth including morning and afternoon breaks, and an evening reception in the exhibit hall on June 26, 2000. Universities, government agencies, foundations, associations, and other non-traditional vendor organizations that possess products or technologies with potential application in this area are encouraged to participate. Exhibit registration cutoff is June 2, 2000.
