Navigating the Unknown: Federal Policy Shifts and the Future of Healthcare Finance

By AGS Health

Federal policy changes stemming from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) are reshaping the financial dynamics of US healthcare operations. From major shifts in Medicaid funding and supplemental payment structures to the reconfiguration of ACA subsidies and site-neutrality mandates, provider organizations are bracing for impact.

To help healthcare leaders make sense of these changes and prepare for the changes ahead, we invite you to a virtual event designed for executives navigating fiscal uncertainty.

This one-hour virtual event will feature two dynamic presentations from nationally recognized thought leaders:
  • OBBBA and the Policy Landscape: Madeline Cree, Associate Director of Health Policy and Strategy at The Health Management Academy, will break down the latest provisions of OBBBA and explain how its sweeping reforms could alter revenue structures, including Medicaid cuts, supplemental payment reductions, and ACA subsidies.
  • Executive Strategy Insights from KLAS Research: Emily Paxman, SVP and Managing Director of Consulting at KLAS Research, will share findings from the organization’s recent study of healthcare finance and operations leaders, highlighting how organizations are adapting financial strategies in response to policy unpredictability and planning for 2025.

This session is ideal for C-suite and senior finance leaders seeking clarity amid complexity. Attendees will walk away with deeper policy understanding, peer-informed strategy perspectives, and actionable guidance for navigating what’s next.

Advance registration is required. Reserve your spot today.
