This CLE webinar will provide an overview of the recently passed One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) and notable provisions aimed at the healthcare industry—specifically related to Medicaid, Medicare, and the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The panel will also discuss the potential impact on the healthcare industry, address any current legal challenges to healthcare provisions, and offer best practices for helping clients navigate the new requirements.

Description

After months of negotiation, the Trump administration's sweeping OBBBA was recently passed, containing provisions that will significantly affect the healthcare industry—most notably Medicaid, Medicare, and the ACA.

Medicaid will be significantly impacted by provisions that were included for the stated purposes of reducing fraud and improving enrollment processes, preventing wasteful spending, stopping abusive financing practices, increasing personal accountability, and expanding access to care. Some of these provisions include repealing Biden-era eligibility regulations and nursing home staffing regulations, implementing work requirements, sunsetting the American Rescue Plan's temporary Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP) increase, and limiting state taxes on providers.

Related to Medicare, the OBBBA contains provisions reducing the number of immigrants who will qualify for coverage, updating the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule conversion factor, and expanding the drugs exempt from the Medicare Drug Negotiation Program.

Provisions targeting the ACA include limiting refundable tax credits to undocumented and certain lawfully present immigrants and eliminating auto reenrollment and provisional enrollment for customers beginning with tax year 2028.

Listen as our expert panel provides an overview of the OBBBA's notable provisions related to Medicare, Medicaid, and the ACA and discusses the potential impact on the healthcare industry. The panel will also offer best practices for guiding clients through expansive new requirements.
