Health Plan Alliance releases 2018 meeting calendar

Health Plan Alliance

10/17/2017

The Health Plan Alliance today announced the release of its 2018 meeting calendar. The focus of these events formed from strategic discussions and conversations with members, and feedback from participants at Alliance 2017 events. 

Unlike other industry events, Alliance meetings are only open to its members, invited guests and event sponsors and there is no cost for members or guests to attend. This unique format allows Alliance members to be candid about their business processes and challenges, and share resources.

2018 Calendar Highlights

  • Multidisciplinary problem-solving.  All meetings are designed for multidisciplinary teams.  We’ve consistently heard the value you gain attending as a team and collaborating with other teams to solve challenges.

  • Several one-day fly-ins.  This year, the Alliance offered two Medicaid focused fly-ins. This format was well received by participants and will continue into 2018. Currently on the calendar, there is a fly-in on reference based pricing in February and a fly-in for Alliance reciprocity participants in April; two additional fly-ins are also slated for development.

  • Focused agendas.  While the topics covered include a broad range of Alliance members' issues and challenges, several of the agendas will focus on managing financial risk, clinical integration and population health and strategic alignment.  Meetings will be held to focus in on the following areas:
    • Information Technology & Operations
    • Reference Based Pricing
    • Risk Adjustment & Quality
    • Government programs
    • Risk Management, Compliance, Privacy & Security
    • Member Experience 

  • Leadership Team Meetings.  In addition to the meetings above, we will host three meetings designed for senior executives of health plans, health systems and physician groups to attend as teams:
    • Spring Leadership:  The evolution of strategy… Register now
    • Health System/Health Plan (in conjunction with AHA)
    • Fall Leadership (focus TBA)

More information about these events will be available as the agendas are developed. Alliance members can access the most current event details and registration information from the healthplanalliance.org calendar.
