I attended the PS-TG meeting last week. It was held in conjunction with the NASMD Annual Conference in Washington, DC. The PS-TG is an industry group for Medicaid vendors. I’m running for Secretary.

Membership is only $50. I encourage all vendors interested in providing services to Medicaid programs to join. I’m encouraging the group to create a committee on Fraud that will address Program Integrity, SURS, Prior Authorization, Audit, eligibility and provider verification, and other issues related to fraud. Join now, so you can help Medicaid programs get the best services and products available.

The purpose of PSTG is to provide a discussion and information forum for a broad based and diverse group of information technology companies and professionals that provide solutions in the health care information systems environment and all related activities. The group’s expertise spans all aspects of the health care information technology industry. PSTG serves as a valuable resource for federal and state governments to obtain information regarding the application of information technologies to health care services administration.
