Health care delivery throughout the country and Iowa is undergoing rapid and significant transformation. In addition to expanding coverage to millions of previously uninsured individuals, the ACA ushered in a new era of delivery system reform focused on value-based care versus volume and fee for service payment impacting all of Iowa’s rural and urban providers.

Join us as we bring together local and national providers and health policy experts to discuss the impact the new alternative payment models, the expansion of telehealth, and the Medicare Access & CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) enacted last year by Congress will have on a rural state like Iowa.
