What Attendees are Saying
Ever since LACPMA partnered with PRESENT, the seminar has become state of the art. They were able to navigate through the covid years and come out on the other side with a must attend, compact, informative experience packed into a weekend.

I appreciate the updates on Medicare coding. The vendors were valuable and gave important information regarding our continued success as podiatric physicians. The Hotel Indigo is a wonderful location with very nice appointments and great food.
