Medicare Advantage & Medicaid: Critical Decisions at a Crossroads

Healthcare attorney Melissa Wong will join a roundtable discussion at the American Conference Institute's (ACI) 17th Annual Advanced Forum on Managed Care Disputes and Litigation, a yearly gathering for the managed care organization (MCO) industry. Outside counsel, in-house attorneys and healthcare executives will convene in Chicago to cover current challenges facing the MCO sector, mechanisms for dispute resolution and best practices for legal professionals advising clients in this space. Ms. Wong's session will focus Medicare and Medicaid Advantage, identifying changes under the Trump Administration, such as reductions in Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies and stricter eligibility rules, and exploring their legal, operational and compliance implications. Topics will include Star Ratings disputes, risk adjustment audits, coverage continuity, as well as funding cuts. She will equip participants with strategies to maintain financial stability, protect high-risk populations and align business operations with new policies and enforcement priorities.
