4th Annual SNP Leadership Forum
"Defining the Gold Standard for Specialty Care"
October 21-22, 2008 ~ Westin City Center Hotel ~ Washington, DC
This special two-day "invitational" event — packed full of timely and cutting-edge sessions — will bring together key SNP executives including, CEOs, COOs, CFOs and CMOs; CMS and Congressional staff; state officials; and other key policy leaders to continue advancing the future of Special Needs Plans (SNPs). The meeting will address, then debate during "open forum discussions," critical policy issues and compelling questions such as: (1) How should the gold standard for specialty care be defined?; (2) What consitutes best practices under existing MA law?; (3) How can we advance state interest in SNP partnerships for integration for Medicare and Medicaid?; (4) How will 2008 legislative and regulatory actions as well as the presidential election affect the long-term viability of SNPs?; and (5) What strategies will enable SNP permanency?
