For a single trip, you may also attend AHIP’s Summit on Shared Accountability (March 5) or AHIP’s Exchange Conference (March 7-8).

Summit on Shared Accountability (March 5)
The Summit will continue to showcase innovative models that regional and national health plans have implemented to achieve the three-part aim. A variety of approaches such as accountable care organizations, patient-centered medical homes, and bundled payment will be showcased. The Summit will highlight key program features, successes, and lessons learned that can help enhance an understanding of alternative pathways to building a sustainable, high-quality health care system.

Exchange Conference (March 7-8)
Exchanges continue to be one of the most pressing health care reform implementation issues for health plans, states, and national policy makers. AHIP’s series of Exchange Conferences have addressed the policy and operational issues over the past year. We continue in 2012 by examining the critical issues for health plans with a focus on the practical challenges including the impact of health insurance market reforms, implementation of premium payments, submission of benefit and rate information to the Exchange, and the implications for the consumer experience using web portals to search for insurance options. AHIP’s next Exchange Conference will provide you with information to stay ahead of implementation.
