The U.S. healthcare system is becoming increasingly complex, and states have been eager to enact policy dictating how health care can be delivered, influencing what health care services and prescription drugs may cost, and how reimbursement processes should work.
But keeping up with the official business of state legislatures is only part of the picture. Navigating and engaging with organizations focused on health policy is a key part of any successful state legislative agenda in the health policy space. These organizations play a significant role in the health policies we see introduced and enacted in state legislatures across the country. They provide a forum for state policymakers to discuss ideas with their colleagues in other states and are often where we see new trends take shape and spread. Ignoring these groups and the policy ideas that emerge from their meetings can result in near and long-term impacts to your organization's business decisions.
These groups meet multiple times throughout the year, providing an opportunity for you to build relationships and engage on key policy issues. Upcoming health policy groups meetings and events can be found below (updated weekly). Bookmark this table for meeting dates, location, access status (public or members only), and more.
