America is facing a deepening mental health crisis, and healthcare professionals are caught in the crossfire—tasked with addressing skyrocketing patient needs amid shrinking resources and increasing pressure. From widespread service cuts to growing societal distress, the current mental health infrastructure is under siege. Add to this the complexity of compliance, documentation, and insurance coverage—and the challenges for coders, providers, and revenue cycle professionals only grow.

Join nationally recognized psychiatrist Dr. H. Steven Moffic for an honest, insightful open forum about what’s going wrong in the mental health system—and how to stay informed and adaptable. Dr. Moffic will offer a short opening reflection and then take live questions from attendees, providing practical guidance and context rooted in decades of clinical experience.
