HICE CEO Update - September 2024

Subject:	HICE CEO Update - September 2024
Message:	To HICE Participants Welcome back to the bi-monthly CEO Update, designed to keep members apprised of the current happenings at HICE. Here is an update on what has been going on since my last report: 2025 Operating Budget Funding Request Letters As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, HICE relies on annual contributions from health plans, provider organizations and other health care industry entities to support educational and collaborative activities, and our important work cannot continue without this critical funding. Important changes to the 2025 funding request process were communicated last month and these request letters are in process of being sent to participating organizations this month. We encourage those organizations not currently contributing to strongly consider donating to help fund the 2025 operating budget so HICE can continue to provide a forum for collaboration and standardization for the health care industry. Please discuss with your leadership the importance of supporting HICE to assist industry organizations to more readily and easily comply with regulations. You can view contributing organizations for 2024 here. Thank you for your support! HICE 2024 Annual Conference / Early Registration Pricing Ends on September 30!
