Day on the Hill 2024 Recap
This event was jointly presented by NAIFA Washington and the National Association of Benefits and Insurance Professionals Washington Chapter (NABIPWA).
On Tuesday January 16th, 2024 NABIPWA/NAIFA hosted their joint Day-on-the-Hill lobby day in Olympia. We had great presentations, excellent discussion and an advocacy training. The Double Tree has upgraded their conference rooms, amenities and food/beverage, nice surprise! The rain held off which made going to-and-from meetings more enjoyable as well. Day-on-the-Hill is a premier event for NABIPWA, we hope to see you there next year. Save-the-date, day after MLK day!
To recap, on the health side we are watching a few bills closely this short 60-day session. The covered lives tax, removal of non-standardized plan offerings on the Washington Health Benefit Exchange and a contracting bill that removes consumers/patients from Provider and Issuer contracting negotiation tactics are our top priorities.
