With the Affordable Care Act celebrating its 12th anniversary this year, the MDA Insurance health insurance seminar series will focus on how the COVID pandemic is affecting the delivery of health care, how it impacts mandated benefits, and is driving costs higher. We’ll also look at what may happen to provisions of the ACA when and if the administration declares and end to the state of emergency caused by COVID. During our seminar, Health Care in the Pandemic’s Wake, we’ll discuss some of these changes, such as transparency in health care costs, prescription drug cost drivers and legislation that may evolve as the year progresses.
Stay up to date on the latest health insurance developments by attending our three-hour deep dive into the state of health insurance for 2023.

The seminar will also provide updates on the MDA Health Plan, and the individual and small group plans by commercial carriers such as Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan. This seminar is appropriate for doctors as well as the entire dental team, whether you’re in the MDA Health Plan, in an individual or small group plan, or are contemplating the right choice for you. Issues pertaining to Medicare will not be discussed during the presentation. For Medicare webinars, see mdaprograms.com.
