Subject:	HICE CEO Update - September 2025
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 what has been going on since my last report: 2026 Operating Budget Funding Request Letters Coming Soon! HICE relies on annual contributions from health plans, provider organizations and other health care industry entities to support educational and collaborative activities as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The 2026 funding request letters are in the process of being sent to participating organizations this month, and our important work cannot continue without this critical funding. Those organizations not currently contributing are strongly encouraged to consider donating to help fund the 2026 operating budget to allow HICE to continue to provide a forum to facilitate collaboration and standardization for the healthcare 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 2025 here.
