Health Policy News Hosts Webinar on Annual Exchange Guidance

Margot Thistle on February 7, 2019

On February 7, 2019, the Health Policy News team hosted a webinar highlighting the proposed changes outlined in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) long-awaited annual Exchange guidance (proposed Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters for 2020 and the 2020 Draft Letter to Issuers in the Federally-facilitated Exchanges) released on January 17, 2019.

In addition to the slides used in the webinar, PCG subject matter experts prepared a summary of notable changes to assist states in parsing through this voluminous guidance. As a reminder, comments on the proposed Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters for 2020 and the 2020 Draft Letter to Issuers are due on February 19, 2019.

As always, please be in touch at HealthPolicyNews@pcgus.com with any questions related to this content or if you would like a recording of the webinar.
