Webinar Replay – 2027 ACA Considerations: Proposed NBPP and Other Key Changes and Trends
This webinar was held on February 4, 2026 at 12pm ET.
Upon the release of the CMS final 2027 Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters and the accompanying Letter to Issuers in January, health plans and state policymakers will face critical decisions that shape the next phase of the individual and small group markets.
Experts from HMA and Wakely discussed what the proposed rule means in practice and how stakeholders can begin preparing now. This webinar provided a clear overview of the final 2027 NBPP** and Letter to Issuers, highlighted the most significant policy changes and clarifications, and explored the operational and strategic implications for states. Speakers focused on how the final policies may influence market stability, affordability, program administration, and longer-term planning for 2027 and beyond.
** We expect that the NBPP will have been released before the webinar takes place, but if the NBPP is not yet released we will cover likely scenarios based on our best available information.
Learning Objectives:
•Understanding the proposed 2027 NBPP and Letter to Issuers
•Awareness of key implications for states and issuers
•Discussion of key planning considerations for 2027
