T
he Exchange is Coming!

Among the most pivotal - and controversial - elements of the Affordable Care Act are the Exchanges - one in every state. The California Health Benefit Exchange will be the primary marketplace for individual and small business health benefits in California, beginning in 2014. But long before then, organizations will be determining how they'll be providing coverage - or not - to their employees whose coverage will be mandated under the ACA. While the Supreme Court may ultimately decide the fate of the individual mandate, in the meantime, California's Exchange is charging full steam ahead. And the products they plan to offer - and the subsidies they plan to provide - will dramatically change California's healthcare marketplace, forever.

Bay Area Focus Workshop- Accountable Care Organizations: the Vision, Reality & Beyond

No doubt the hottest concept to emerge from the Affordable Care Act is the "Accountable Care Organization."    But what does it mean?  And how are the major providers responding to it?  And what will be the implications of ACOs for the "independents"? These and other issues will be addressed by our speakers during a stimulating "presentation, discussion and exchange" of information.  And our speakers want to hear from you, too, during this still "formative" period (after all, CMS' ACOs won't roll out officially until January 1, 2012).  Indeed, like all ABL sessions, we're looking forward to our Members in the audience being actively engaged throughout the entire Event!
