Meet Knack at the ANESTHESIOLOGY 2026
Oct 16–20, 2026
Friday to Tuesday
San Diego, CA
San Diego Convention Center
WHY MEDICAL GROUP LEADERS PARTNER WITH KNACK
Built for the financial realities of modern anesthesia practice
Time-based units, concurrency rules, medical direction modifiers, payer-specific nuances, and hospital stipends that keep getting harder to defend. Anesthesia has failure points that general billing vendors routinely miss, and every under-coded case, unworked denial, or unsupported stipend conversation is margin left on the table.
Knack has focused on anesthesia revenue cycle and practice management since 1975, and we still partner with our very first client. We combine CPC-certified anesthesia coders, AI-assisted reporting, and white-glove service to give group leaders full visibility and control, from the OR schedule to cash.
At the booth-
Three reasons to stop by
- Get a complimentary anesthesia revenue integrity review. Bring a sample of recent denials, underpayments, or an aged A/R report. Our anesthesia leadership team will pinpoint where revenue is leaking, from unit and modifier errors to concurrency and payer-rule gaps.
- Benchmark your anesthesia KPIs. Compare your net collection percentage, days in A/R, denial rate, and coding accuracy against top-performing anesthesia groups. Our clients reach a 98% net collection rate, at the top of the industry's 94–98% world-class range.
- Walk in with a stipend question, leave with a data plan. See how Knack uses OR efficiency, case mix, payer mix, and productivity reporting to support hospital and ASC contract and stipend negotiations.
