H.R. 1 Implementation Conference | University Hospital
Conferences
H.R. 1 presents an immediate and consequential challenge for the State of New Jersey.
Event Overview
H.R. 1 presents an immediate and consequential challenge for the State of New Jersey. Without clear standards for eligibility, documentation, exemptions, and verification, thousands of medically vulnerable and justice-involved residents risk losing Medicaid coverage, not due to ineligibility, but because of administrative complexity.
This half-day conference convenes leaders across government, healthcare, law, and corrections to define the
operational, clinical, and legal framework
necessary to ensure continuity of care and compliance under H.R. 1. The focus is practical: how to implement federal guidance in a way that protects access to care while meeting regulatory requirements.
What This Conference Will Address
Medicaid Eligibility & Verification:
Establishing clear, workable standards for documentation and renewal
Clinical Exemptions & Medical Necessity:
Defining criteria and ensuring consistent application across systems
Regulatory Compliance & CMS Guidance:
Translating federal requirements into state-level operations
Pre-Termination Safeguards:
Preventing inappropriate loss of coverage through effective notice, response, and appeals processes
Cross-System Coordination:
Aligning healthcare providers, correctional institutions, and state agencies

Panel II:
Clinical Exemptions and the Reentry Population
A clinically grounded discussion examining how exemptions are defined and applied, particularly for justice-involved individuals with complex medical, psychiatric, and substance use needs, and how systems can ensure continuity of care during reentry.
Panel III:
Clinical Documentation, Evidentiary Standards, Eligibility Operations, and Pre-Termination Response
A focused, operational discussion on how documentation, verification, and administrative processes directly impact eligibility determinations, coverage continuity, and safeguards against improper termination.
