Other Programs
Specialized interest groups, called HFMA Forums, serve members on the basis of their specific interests, complementing chapters which provide more generalized services on a geographic basis. The mission of forums is to provide these specialized services to achieve the unmet needs of specific subgroups of members who have common interests. HFMA has had a Chief Financial Officers (CFO) Forum and a Patient Financial Services Forum since 1990, and in 1995 opened a Managed Care Forum.

Chief Financial Officers Forum (CFO Forum) has more than 1100 CFO's as members, or individuals aspiring to be CFO's.
Forum members receive in-depth information and highlights of key Medicare or tax regulations and legislation that will affect their institutions. CFO Forum members are major participants in HFMA's advocacy effort both receiving information from, and giving input to, HFMA's Policy Services Group on ideas impacting national legislation and regulation.
Members of the forum receive a peer directory and are invited to the networking breakfast meeting at the Annual National Institute.

Managed Care Forum was organized in January 1995. A voluntary advisory group developed a plan and program for the new forum that focuses on HFMA members who are interested in managed care and its administration.
In its fiscal year, the forum received nearly 1800 members, provided audio-teleconferences that served more than 100 persons each, and developed a newsletter that was delivered by facsimile. The forum is also developing an assistance program to chapters desiring to develop managed care committees.
