Malpractice coverage is essential. But it may not protect physicians from every risk that can threaten a practice, income, or personal assets.

On August 26, join LACMA and the Cooperative of American Physicians for Beyond Malpractice: The Insurance Coverage Gaps Putting Physicians at Risk, a free one-hour webinar focused on exposures physicians may not realize they have until a claim occurs.

- Employment-related lawsuits and the risks facing physician employers
- The true financial and operational impact of a cyberattack
- Coverage gaps involving regulatory investigations, compliance defense, business interruption, and outside leadership roles
- Practical steps physicians can take to better protect their practices, income, employees, and personal financial future

Presented by Michael Dyse, President of Symphony Health, a division of Symphony Risk Solutions.

Payors are using increasingly sophisticated analytics to scrutinize physician coding patterns. Is your practice doing the same?

Join us August 18 for Part 1 of a two-part webinar series designed to help California physicians and practice leaders identify potential coding risks before they attract payor scrutiny.

Frank Cohen, Senior Data Scientist at VMG Health, will demonstrate how practices can use widely available AI tools and standard practice-management reports to:
• Analyze E/M distributions, modifier utilization, RVU concentration and coding trends
• Identify patterns that may trigger payor scrutiny
• Better understand the limitations of payor benchmarking
• Build a practical monthly self-audit process that takes less than an hour
• Create a written record of internal monitoring that can be referenced if coding patterns are questioned

The session includes a live demonstration of how AI assistants can help practices analyze billing summaries and ask better questions about coding patterns and risk exposure, without specialized analytics expertise, expensive software or patient-level data.

Tuesday, August 18, 2026
12:15–1:30 PM

Independent and smaller practices may not have the analytics departments of large health systems, but that doesn’t mean they have to operate without visibility into their own risk.

CMA members’ staff can contact [email protected] for a promo code to attend free.

This is Part 1 of a two-part series.
