Coronavirus (COVID-19) and Upcoming Alliance Meetings

Health Plan Alliance

06/01/2020

 

The Alliance is closely monitoring the status of COVID-19. We will continue to follow the advice of the World Health Organization and the CDC to ensure the safety of our members and partners, and to reduce the risk of spread and transmission.

The Health Plan Alliance staff is continuing operations. All staff is working remotely and may be reached by phone and email.

 We will keep this page updated with the status of our upcoming meetings.

 


Spring Leadership Forum 2020

With the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) in the U.S., the Alliance leadership and executive committee have decided to cancel the 2020 Spring Leadership Forum scheduled for March 23-25 in Dallas, Texas. We believe this decision is in the best interest and safety of our members, speakers, sponsors, and staff. 

 

What this means for Alliance members who registered for this event:

  • If you booked a hotel room in our room block, we will take care of canceling it. If you need additional assistance, you may contact the Four Seasons reservations department at 972-717-2499, or the Health Plan Alliance team at 972-830-0001.

  • If you booked an airline ticket, you should contact the airline directly to cancel your flight. We do apologize for the inconvenience.

  • Our team will transfer your Spring Summit registration to the 2020 Fall Leadership Forum for you. You will receive that confirmation email next week. Mark your calendar for Oct. 5-8 in Denver.
 
We encourage Alliance member leaders to join us October 5-8 in Denver for our 2020 Fall Leadership Forum.  Your Alliance team is already hard at work to make this leadership summit as valuable as possible.  In addition to a great agenda, registrants can look forward to a special, entertaining evening we have planned at the Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre.  Register now and mark your calendar for October 5-8 in Denver, CO. We look forward to seeing you there. 

 


Consumer Digital Strategies Fly-in

We have decided to cancel this meeting scheduled for April 13-14 in Dallas, Texas. 


What this means for Alliance members who registered for this event:

  • If you booked a hotel room or airline ticket, you should contact the hotel and airline directly to cancel.  We apologize for the inconvenience.

  • Our team will transfer your Consumer Digital Strategies Fly-in registration to the Member Experience Value Visit for you. Much of the content originally planned for the April meeting will move to this Value Visit, August 31 - September 3, in Nashville. You will receive a confirmation email soon. Mark your calendar! We will continue to keep you updated with the details of this meeting.

  • If there's anything else we can do to assist you, please email info@healthplanalliance.org or call 972-830-0001.

 

Executive and Administrative Assistants Fly-in

We have decided to cancel this meeting scheduled for April 21 in Dallas, Texas.  We will communicate a 2021 date later this year. 


Looking ahead

The Alliance remains excited about our many valuable in-person learning and collaboration opportunities scheduled for the second half of 2020.  This includes small-group workshops in the Alliance Learning Center in Dallas, Texas and larger, interdisciplinary value visits in Nashville and Denver. We are committed to communicating frequently and will keep our member calendar updated. If you are not already receiving our weekly, personalized member digest in your inbox each Tuesday, update your preferences at the bottom of your personal profile so you never miss an update! 


In the meantime, there are lots of opportunities to connect virtually

  • Attend a webinar: Connect with your colleagues on one of our many Alliance webinars, round table discussions, and vendor spotlights. The event calendar and your weekly e-digest offer more details.

  • Tune into the discussion forum: Post a new discussion starter if you have a question and need help from your Alliance peers.  Or help a colleague by responding to their request for information.

  • Use the knowledge library: If you need a tool or resource to support work you’re tackling today, search our online library or ask the Alliance staff to curate a shortlist of recommendations for you.
