National Plan Automation Group Conference September 7 - 10, 2008 Lake Placid Crowne Plaza Resort Hotel & Golf Club Excellus BCBS is excited to be hosting the 2008 NPAG Conference in Lake Placid, NY ! Our theme, "Harvest the Rewards of EDI" will focus on the ever changing business needs of our industry and the technology used to address them. We will hear from industry experts on how our portfolios of edi/ecommerce solutions can help us keep pace in the marketplace, realize reduction in administrative costs and provide true value to our trading partners.  We will examine the tools, techniques and approaches that have made a difference. What better way to review our opportunities than through the collective expertise of our Plans and their edi partners? We are also designing a series of events that will allow everyone to experience the magic of the Adirondacks. Whether boating to an island, taking a High Peaks hike or playing a round of golf at the award winning Lake Placid Club, why not share, plan and strategize with your partners, your supporters, your friends? Stay tuned for more details in the near future. Together, this will be great! - Cheri Hill - Plan Chairperson Manager, eCommerce Excellus BCBS Health Plan To make hotel reservations online for NPAG 2008 please visit: https://resweb.passkey.com/go/npag2008 NPAG announces it's virtual "Plan Share" collaboration site.   WWW.NPAG.BIZ Visit the site to see what others are saying about industry issues.  You can exchange ideas with industry leaders, post a blog, poll, or survey.
