Nicka & Associates at ACEP Accelerate 2026 in San Diego

See You January 18–23, 2026

Nicka & Associates is excited to participate in ACEP Accelerate 2026, the American College of Emergency Physicians’ multi-track education experience taking place January 18–23, 2026, at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego, California.

What Is ACEP Accelerate?

ACEP Accelerate is a dynamic event designed for emergency medicine professionals who want targeted learning in focused areas of practice. With tracks including Observation Medicine, Reimbursement & Coding, Pediatric EM, the Teaching Fellowship, and the ED Directors Academy, this event is ideal for leaders who want practical education and networking opportunities without the overwhelming scale of a large trade show.

Who We Are

Nicka & Associates is a national leader in emergency department coding, clinical documentation improvement (CDI), audit services, and provider education. For over 25 years, we’ve helped EDs of all sizes—from large urban trauma centers to small rural hospitals—improve documentation accuracy, increase compliant revenue, and reduce risk exposure.

Our team includes certified coders, CDI specialists, clinicians, auditors, and informatics consultants, all working together to deliver measurable value. We combine a deep understanding of ED operations with data-driven insights and proven methodologies to strengthen every stage of the revenue cycle.

What to Expect at ACEP Accelerate

During ACEP Accelerate, Nicka & Associates will be meeting with emergency medicine leaders, administrators, coders, and educators to discuss the evolving landscape of ED reimbursement and compliance. If you’re attending the Reimbursement & Coding track—or any of the educational sessions—our team is available to consult on your documentation strategy, audit processes, and coding performance.

We’ll share best practices around:

• Improving documentation to support higher acuity coding
• Mitigating payer denials through compliance-aligned practices
• Training providers to document more clearly and consistently
• Using audit results to drive operational change
