About the Pre-Conference

HMA’s Pre-Conference Workshop will provide attendees with a comprehensive overview of the Medicare program including trends and insights related to Medicare Advantage and Medicare Fee-For-Service, program structures, payment mechanisms, key innovations in delivery design, integration strategies for dual eligible beneficiaries (dual-eligibles), and future policy changes that will affect all Medicare and Medicaid stakeholders.

This year’s session is titled What Every Healthcare Stakeholder Needs to Know about Medicare to Thrive. 

This session is designed for those who are new to Medicare and dual eligible policy and business strategies as well as those fully focused on those areas. Attendees will gain broad and deep perspectives on current policy trends shaping Medicare, including traditional fee-for-service, Medicare Advantage, and dual-eligibles, new benefit and product design innovations, and how states and Medicaid managed care plans coordinate with Medicare to integrate care for dual-eligible beneficiaries.

The session will also provide a thorough understanding for how to apply Medicare’s rich data resources to innovate in your marketplace, improve business operations, establish compliance in programs, build strategies to enter new markets, deliver high quality care. Attendees will also gain perspectives on likely policy scenarios that will shape the Medicare program after the 2020 Presidential election.

Anyone with a policy or business interest in the Medicare program, including individuals new to Medicare or contemplating entering into the Medicare or Medicare Advantage business, leaders who are responsible for overseeing the Medicare business, and those that want to understand how better to use Medicare data analytics to identify insights, improve program compliance and business operations.
