Spring Legislative and Regulatory Conference - May 6 - 8, 2026

(Click on Agenda on Left Navigation for details)


Therapy Providers and the Regulatory and Legislative Landscape


This conference is designed for rehabilitation leaders who need to navigate rapid change with clarity, compliance, and confidence. Through practical, executive-level sessions, we’ll unpack HIPAA realities for rehab providers from privacy and security risks to documentation, vendor oversight, and everyday operational safeguards. We’ll demystify regulatory processes where rehab providers can use their voice, including rulemaking, sub-regulatory guidance, and effective advocacy strategies that actually move policy. We’ll also explore the intersection of politics and healthcare, translating the legislative and administrative landscape into what it means for reimbursement, oversight, workforce, and patient access.


You’ll get a grounded look at the reality of AI in healthcare what’s working now, what’s hype, and how to evaluate AI tools for compliance, clinical integrity, bias, and administrative burden. The program will connect emerging wellness initiatives to real-world implementation across care settings, including measurement, equity considerations, and alignment with payer expectations. Finally, we’ll go deep on value-based care and alternative payment models, focusing on how rehab providers can succeed in VBC environments without owning the entire episode covering quality measurement, data strategy, contracting considerations, and operational readiness.


Who Should Attend:

This conference is ideal for executives, clinical directors and managers, compliance officers, reimbursement managers, and policy advisors seeking to navigate the complexities of a dynamic healthcare environment.


Outcomes:

Attendees will leave with:

  • Actionable compliance insights
  • An advocacy roadmap
  • A practical playbook for leading rehab organizations through evolving policy, technology, and payment transformation.


Be prepared to lead your organization confidently in a time of transformation.
