AHIP's Exchange Conference
March 7-8, 2012

AHIP’s Exchange Conference, March 7-8 in Washington, D.C., will answer some of your most pressing questions about Exchanges and arm you with the practical information you need to transform your organization’s operations for Exchange implementation.

Here's a Glimpse of What We'll Address:

• The Changing Insurance Environment: The Effect of Adjusted Community Rating and Guarantee Issue on the Marketplace

The uncertainty of market reform changes and Exchanges on health plan operational and business processes and policies can be daunting. How will changes in rating affect how health plans create insurance products that are affordable inside and outside of the Exchange? This session gives you an opportunity to examine critical questions and provides you with insight into your strategic planning.

• HHS Bulletin on Essential Health Benefits—Addressing Benefit Requirements for Qualified Health Plans in the Exchange

This session will provide some clarity on what the guidelines propose and include discussion about how states may proceed. You will hear from stakeholder groups about key issues, challenges, and opportunities presented by the guidelines for health plans and states in developing qualified health plans for the Exchange.

• Preparing Health Plan Operations and Technology Infrastructure

What is being considered and implemented by state Exchanges to verify eligibility, collect data from health plans on rates and benefits and send data to health plans to complete enrollment? What does all of this mean for operational and technology infrastructure for health plans? Leaders and advisors to the States will offer insights into what they are considering as their IT development gets underway and how health plans should prepare.
