NFP Health is Proud to Sponsor the Medicaid Health Plans of America (MHPA) 2013 Conference

BOSTON, Oct. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- NFP Health Services Administrators announced their sponsorship of the Medicaid Health Plans of America (MHPA) 2013 Conference, October 20-22, at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, National Harbor, MD. The Medicaid Health Plans of America 2013 Conference is where the country's Medicaid health plan industry executives meet to learn the latest in policy developments, share best practices, and network.

NFP Health has a unique experience in working with Medicaid plans that wish to enter the commercial marketplace, including plans such as Neighborhood Health Plan (NHP) and Network Health in Massachusetts. This experience is backed by NFP Health's experience in running one of the nation's longest running multi-carrier health insurance marketplace exchanges in Massachusetts, www.hsainsurance.com, as well as private portals for smaller markets and carriers.

Deborah Gordon, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer at Network Health, sums up her experience in working with NFP Health regarding their expansion from Medicaid to the Commercial market:

"NFP Health was an invaluable partner as we moved from being a subsidized insurance only plan to offering our first commercial product. They were able to provide all the functionality that we lacked, from a private shopping portal with real-time rate quotes, to enrollment and billing functionality, to customized reports. We are pleased that we made the strategic decision to leverage their capabilities for both implementation and ongoing operations, rather than build the required functionality ourselves. Everyone at NFP Health was knowledgeable, flexible and a pleasure to work with, and we launched Network Health Choice on time and within budget."

NFP Health will be exhibiting at Booth 316, October 20-22, at the MHPA 2013 Conference. Stop by to talk to an NFP Health representative about the opportunities for Medicaid providers who wish to enter the commercial marketplace, and how NFP Health can help with the proven expertise and infrastructure to do so.

The Medicaid Health Plans of America 2013 Conference features the country's largest gathering of top-level executives in the Medicaid health plan industry, including representatives from the Center for Medicaid and CHIP Services (CMCS), the National Association of Medicaid Directors, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), as well as commercial and not-for-profit organizations supporting Medicaid.
