This conference features Paul Nolan, MCAT, MT-BC, LPC, Director of Music Therapy Education at Drexel University and his wife, Stephanie Nolan, a music educator and Master Teacher for Sally's Music Circle.

VMTA is pleased to offer a 5-credit CMTE titled, "Music Therapy Reimbursement and Advocacy: Best Practices, Procedures and State Recognition" Presented by Judy Simpson, MHP, MT-BC

Discovering potential ways to reimburse music therapy services through public and private third party payment systems has become a critical component to the business of music therapy. In order for music therapists to be successful in their practices, they must demonstrate competency regarding the current healthcare market and the insurance industry, as well as advocacy for inclusion of music therapy services within this environment.

This presentation is designed to provide music therapy clinicians, students and educators with a basic understanding of the reimbursement process. In addition to providing valuable resources and outlining specific reimbursement guidelines, this presentation will also review marketing tools, sample forms, and coding information for therapists to apply in their own practices. The presentation will also explore the impact of advocacy on reimbursement efforts with specific attention to implementation of the AMTA/CBMT state recognition operational plan.

Workshop Objectives:
The participants will develop competencies in the following areas:

CBMT Scope of Practice Areas: IV.A. 1-4, V.A. 2-3, V.B. 5, 6, 7, 11, 14, 15Lunch: Lunch will be on your own. There are a variety of restaurants in the area.
