WASHINGTONHEALTH LAW SUMMIT

E A R N U P T O 1 2 C L E C R E D I T S !

Join your colleagues at The Ritz-Carlton, Washington DC for the sixteenth annual Washington Health Law Summit, December 10-11, 2018.

Whether you are in-house counsel, in private practice, a government attorney, a consultant or just interested in health policy, the 2018 Washington Health Law Summit is the one conference you cannot afford to miss. As the future of American healthcare takes shape, it is essential that attorneys and consultants advising all segments of the healthcare industry are up-to-date on the latest legislative and policy developments and the implementation of significant healthcare initiatives emanating from HHS, CMS, DOJ, OIG and other key government agencies.

This outstanding program provides a unique opportunity for federal and state government lawyers, in-house counsel, private practitioners and consultants to learn from each other in an intimate conference setting. Year after year, attendees say the Summit is “a thought provoking and interesting two days” and “a really good way to stay up-to-date.” They also enjoy “the varied speakers from the public and private sectors.” One of last year’s attendees said the “topics about health policy were timely and informative. I like the blend of policy with the nuts and bolts of healthcare law.” Another stated, “I attend every year for the relevant, current information—it allows me to get a general sense of where state and federal legislation is headed.”

The Monday evening Welcome Reception is an excellent opportunity for networking over cocktails and hors d’oeuvres (included in your registration fee).

This panel will discuss State level actions to keep the ACA and Medicaid markets operating and the future of the ACA’s coverage expansion.
