“At VGM’s Heartland Conference, we don’t just bring together industry experts; we create a vibrant ecosystem where knowledge meets innovation,” said Lindy Tentinger, president of VGM & Associates. “From billing and reimbursement to complex rehab technology, our event covers it all. We hope you plan to join us for two days of unlimited networking opportunities, top-notch education, and a dash of midwestern hospitality.”

VGM Heartland Conference brings together industry experts from across the country to discuss topics related to the home medical equipment (HME) industry, such as billing and reimbursement, regulatory and audits, business leadership and people strategy, business operations, complex rehab technology, sales and marketing, respiratory, and specialty markets including women’s health. Registrants can choose from over 60 educational sessions and panel discussions to attend and earn contact hours/CEUs.
