CDM Shape-Up: Strengthening Charge Integrity, Avoiding Supply Denials, and Strategic Pricing for Supplies and Pharmacy Wednesday, October 29, 2025 | 3:20 PM–4:10 PM ET | Brighton Ballroom 3

This session provides a comprehensive overview of the vital role a compliant and accurate Charge Description Master (CDM) plays in supporting both revenue integrity and regulatory compliance. As hospitals and health systems face heightened scrutiny under CMS price transparency regulations, maintaining an up-to-date and strategically aligned CDM has never been more critical.

The presentation will examine current challenges in billing for medical supplies and pharmacy items—especially with changing payer requirements for HCPCS coding and medical necessity documentation. Attendees will gain practical strategies to reduce supply-related claim denials, align internal pricing data with market benchmarks, and prepare for upcoming strategic pricing initiatives that enhance both financial and compliance performance.

Key learning objectives include understanding the CDM’s central role in price transparency, recognizing payer trends and edits related to supply and implant charges, identifying root causes of denials, and applying practical strategies to maintain defensible, compliant, and strategically priced CDMs.

“Charge integrity is the foundation of both compliance and financial success,” said BreAnn Meadows. “As payer edits become more complex, hospitals must take a proactive approach to maintaining a clean, compliant CDM—one that not only minimizes denials but also supports transparent, defensible pricing.”

“Our session focuses on empowering providers to align pricing, reimbursement, and compliance strategies through data-driven insight,” added Govi Goyal. “By strengthening the CDM and leveraging strategic pricing analytics, hospitals can protect revenue and better position themselves for value-based care and future contracting demands.”

In addition to presenting, Panacea is proud to sponsor the conference luncheon, offering attendees a valuable opportunity to network with peers and industry leaders while engaging in discussions about emerging financial and compliance priorities across the healthcare landscape.
