Health Care 2015 CEO
Nashville, Tennessee Forum: Health Care's
Leadership Moment
Description
Federal regulators are conducting audits of compliance by health insurance plans with a range of requirements including
implementation of the Affordable Care Act, Mental Health Parity, and ERISA group benefit provisions. These examinations
involve requests to review plan documents, claim files, and other materials and raise administrative and operational
1.5
challenges. To assist your legal and compliance teams, we have engaged the Groom Law Group to provide the latest
intelligence on regulatory audit activities and advice on how you can best prepare to respond when you get the call.
The methods for exchanging healthcare information have never been more diverse. Today’s health information exchanges
(HIEs), health information organizations (HIOs), health information service providers (HISPs) and accountable care
organizations (ACOs) are allowing regional and community stakeholders to exchange healthcare data for both clinical and
administrative transactions across computer networks, laptops and mobile devices. And while many healthcare
1
organizations are using these exchange models to better comply with Meaningful Use Stage 2 mandates and achieve
incentives, privacy, security and confidentiality of protected health information (PHI) must be considered.
AHIP’s National Health Policy Forum is one-stop shopping for those seeking insights on the latest policy developments and
trends shaping health care.
TBD
The Health Care 2015 CEO Forum is a rare opportunity for you to join and network with other health care industry CEOS to

competition, and what it takes to thrive in our evolving marketplace.
