The DME MAC Jurisdiction A Outreach & Education Team has finalized the schedule for our upcoming FREE educational Webinar* sessions. These sessions are presented via the internet and telephone. The audio portion is heard over the telephone, via teleconferencing, while the presentation is shown on a computer over the internet. Each session offers interaction very similar to a seminar attended in person. One of the benefits of attending these types of sessions is that the attendee can participate in the comfort of their own office, meeting room, or even their own home.

You may contact the Outreach & Education Team by phone or by email at Outreach-Education@hp.com for any questions concerning these Webinar sessions.

Note: Webinar materials, such as PowerPoint presentations and any pertinent handouts, will be available at least three business days prior to the scheduled Webinar. After completing the registration form, a confirmation email will be sent immediately to the email address provided.
