Connie Sullivan ALEXANDRIA, Va. – The National Home Infusion Association will hold its second annual Payor Summit Aug. 23, 2023, in Dallas. The event is designed to bring together representatives from commercial health insurance plans with home and specialty infusion leaders to discuss opportunities and challenges facing the industry now and in the future. The 2023 summit will focus on helping payers leverage the home and alternate site of care to manage drug spend; improve patient access; improve health equity by reaching rural, disabled, and transportation-limited populations; improve quality and patient experience; and reduce administrative burden. This will include a review of the recommendations from the 2022 NHIA Payor Summit. “Last year, NHIA set out to deepen understanding between health plans and providers and our inaugural summit resulted in concrete policy recommendations that can create efficiencies, reduce hospitalizations, and improve patient access to home and alternate site infusion,” said Connie Sullivan, BSPharm, president and CEO. “This year, we look forward to continuing the dialogue.” Interested payers can learn more on the Payor Summit website and register here.
