Summer of Strategy Webinar: Payor Contracting & Negotiation Strategy
July 14, 2026 | 1-2:30 p.m. ET
Presented by Ron Howrigon, Founder and CEO of Fulcrum Strategies
Payor contract negotiations don't happen in a vacuum and neither should your preparation. In this working session, bring a real contract issue or upcoming renewal and work through it live with Ron Howrigon, a nationally recognized expert in radiology payor contracting. Together you will examine contract language, identify risk areas, and build a negotiation framework you can actually use. You will leave with a concrete approach or talking points ready to put to work immediately. Whether you are heading into a rate renewal, responding to a proposed cut, or navigating difficult contract language for the first time, this session meets you where you are.
Upon completion attendees will be able to:
- Analyze contract language to identify risk areas, unfavorable terms, and opportunities for negotiation before entering payor discussions.
- Build a structured negotiation framework that accounts for common payor pushback tactics and positions your practice for stronger contract terms.
- Leave with a draft negotiation approach or talking points tailored to a real contract issue or renewal you bring to the session.

Federal Affairs & Governance Town Hall: The Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Proposed Rule
July 28, 2026 | 1-2 p.m. ET
Presented by: Linda Wilgus, CPA, FRBMA, Co-Executive Director, RBMA
The Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) proposed rule arrives every summer, and the implications for radiology practices are rarely straightforward. This town hall brings RBMA's federal affairs team together with membership to break down what the proposed rule means for your practice — from payment updates and site-of-service differentials to ongoing No Surprises Act and IDR developments. The session also covers the ROOT Act and other legislative priorities RBMA is tracking on your behalf. Come ready to ask questions. This is a working conversation, not a presentation.
Upon completion attendees will be able to:
- Understand the key payment and policy changes in the MPFS proposed rule and their direct implications for radiology reimbursement.
- Identify where RBMA's advocacy efforts are focused, including No Surprises Act/IDR developments and the ROTA Act.
- Leave with specific action items and talking points to share with your practice leadership or engage with your congressional representatives.
