LACMA is heading to the beach!

Join us Saturday, September 12 for the LACMA Family Beach Party in Santa Monica — a chance to trade the office for the ocean and spend the day with fellow physicians, friends, and family.

We’ll have beach games, music, snacks and drinks, and plenty of space to relax by the water. Bring your family, a blanket, and your favorite lunch, and we’ll take care of the rest.

Saturday, September 12
10:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Santa Monica | Tower 26

Some of the best connections happen outside the conference room. Come spend an afternoon at the beach with your LACMA physician community.

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.
