September 2012 Regional Meeting

September  10 & 11 - Omaha Magnolia Hotel

Now that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has been upheld by the Supreme Court, family planning health centers must redouble their efforts to adapt to the new health care reality. With an influx of newly insured patients less than two years away, family planning providers need to prepare now to meet the increased need for services. At its September Regional Meeting, NFPRHA will provide content to help your health center prepare for the impending changes.

Content from NFPRHA’s ACA implementation project, Life After 40, includes: hands-on readiness assessment & environmental scan workshop; an update on how Massachusetts family planning providers have adapted following state-level health care reform; and an introduction to using shared or purchased services to help add operational capacity. NFPRHA’s consistently popular Medicaid Peer-to-Peer meeting will highlight the impact of the recent Supreme Court decision on the ACA’s 2014 expansion of Medicaid eligibility and provide plenty of opportunities for networking.
