Proposed Agenda (click here to view more)
Jane Cline, Commissioner
West Virginia Office of the Insurance

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will impact Insurance Carriers in numerous ways. In this section we will discuss:
  • What incentive plans and potential rebates will be put into place under the Medial Loss Ratio (MLR)?
  • How will increased benefits impact companies?
  • Will carriers see an increase of regulatory scrutiny? Will the rate review process change?
  • What are some of the new data reporting requirements that will be put into place?


James J. O'Connell, Executive Consultant,
Ceridian Corporation

"Political Change and Healthcare Reform: What To Expect in 2011"
  • The Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act was a key factor in the November 2010 election results. Republicans have taken control of the House of Representatives promising to change the controversial new law.
  • What does political change mean for the Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act in 2011 and beyond?
  • Will Republicans push a "Repeal and Replace" strategy? Or is the "Chip Away" alternative more viable?
  • What aspects of PPACA are likely to be the main targets? What amendments will most impact carriers?
  • And what might be the role of the States in affecting implementation of healthcare reform, particularly for health insurance exchanges?
These and other compelling questions will be answered in this timely analysis of healthcare reform and the impact of political change—what to expect in 2011.

Marcia Augusburger, Partner,
DLA Piper

When the Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act was debated and enacted, health insurers lobbied for a law that would help to offset the increased costs of providing coverage without pre-existing condition exclusions - a law to ensure more individuals would buy health insurance so that the savings attributable to healthy subscribers would cover the costs associated with subscribers with pre-existing illnesses and injuries.

  • What provisions of the Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act are State Attorneys General challenging?
  • On what basis are State Attorneys General challenging the constitutionality of the Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act?
  • Do the State Attorneys General and judges considering these challenges understand that without the mandate, the law's protection of people with preexisting conditions would mean that healthy people could wait until they get sick to buy insurance, which could conceivably bankrupt the entire health insurance system because no one would be paying into the pools?
  • What considerations underlie their decisions?
  • What will happen in the Courts between now and 2014 when pre-existing condition exclusions will be prohibited?
In this timely session, participants will hear the real stories behind the news reports on these and other issues and questions, learn about what to look for as new court decisions are reported - and what not to worry about - and what to expect by 2014.

Health Care Reform will impact market participants beyond health plans
  • Will reform accelerate the convergence of the group life & disability, voluntary and worksite markets?
  • What changes to product portfolios will be introduced? When? And by whom?
  • How will the broker community evolve in response to reform?
  • Who will become the source of information for employers and employees?
  • What brands will dominate and who will own employee relationships?
