Where Policy Meets Practice

HLTH USA is THE gathering for private-sector healthcare leaders. It is uniquely valuable for government officials, regulators, and public health leaders who need direct access to the executives, health systems, payers, and technology companies living the policy environment in real time. Not a government conference. The place where government and industry actually talk.

Why Government & Policymakers Attend

To get a ground-level read on how policy is landing.

The gap between legislative intent and operational reality is often significant. HLTH USA gives policymakers direct insight into how OBBBA reimbursement cuts, Medicaid redeterminations, prior auth reform, and AI governance mandates are actually affecting health systems, plans, and patients.

To connect directly with the industry implementing what they write.

HLTH USA puts federal and state officials in the same room as the CEOs, CMOs, CIOs, and policy teams of the health systems, payers, pharma companies, and technology companies responding to the policy environment in real time. Four days of cross-sector dialogue that would otherwise take months to arrange, in closed-door roundtables, executive sessions, and direct peer conversations.

Because the agenda puts policy at the center of the conversation.

From CMS leadership on stage to state-level sessions on GLP-1 affordability and Medicaid restructuring, the HLTH USA agenda is built around the policy forces reshaping healthcare. Sessions are designed for cross-sector dialogue, not just industry talking to itself.

Past Sessions

Medicaid-Medicare Integration for a High Cost, High Need Era

Dual-eligible beneficiaries forced to navigate two programs with different rules, formularies, and provider networks, bear the greatest risk as emergency coverage protections end. This session examined technology-enabled care models showing promise for complex populations, the evolving role of Special Needs Plans, and how policymakers can balance oversight with the flexibility innovation requires. Featuring speakers from NACHC, Manatt Phelps & Phillips, Guidehealth, and Acentra Health. Watch Now

Thoughtful Change Management: The Catalyst for AI-Enabled Nursing Practices

CMS brought together over 60 major health tech organizations at the White House in a voluntary commitment to build a patient-centric digital healthcare ecosystem centered on true interoperability and technology that actually makes care easier. This session explored how AI, data standards, and connected infrastructure are creating a path toward more proactive, personalized, and equitable care. Featuring Amy Gleason, Strategic Advisor at CMS and moderated by Annie Lamont of Oak HC/FT. Watch Now.

The Big Bill Fallout

The "Big Beautiful Bill" is projected to slash $793 billion from federal Medicaid spending, leaving an estimated 7.8 million Americans without coverage. This session brought together payer, policy, and public health experts to dissect what these cuts mean in practice — for health systems already operating under strain, for states facing impossible choices when federal support is withdrawn, and for the most vulnerable populations bearing the greatest burden. Featuring speakers from March of Dimes, the American Academy of Family Physicians, and Blue Shield of California, moderated by McDermott Will & Schulte. Watch Now.
