Monday, April 27, 2026

11:00 AM - 12:00 PM MDT

Location: Bluebird 1B

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R.1) places new restrictions on Medicaid to help offset the cost of the bill’s tax cuts and other spending items. This will result in significant Medicaid funding reductions. In many cases, the reductions will be phased in over the next several years, but we need to prepare for those changes now. We’ve created an H.R.1 Implementation Journey Map that includes clear, actionable information and guidance on the policy changes ahead, the roles of key stakeholders and the opportunities for engagement that matter most. Join us for as we provide an overview of the Map and our plan for implementation guidance.

Learning Objectives:

Explore the H.R.1 Implementation Journey Map and how it is helpful.
Identify the key provisions impacting Medicaid.
Analyze the opportunities that also exist such as exemptions that recognize the value of community-based providers.
