Start Spreading The News: Enforcement Edge Hits The AHLA Annual Meeting In NYC

Enforcement Edge is heading to Midtown Manhattan this week for the American Health Law Association (AHLA)’s Annual Meeting and In-House Counsel Program, running June 28 through July 1 at the New York Hilton Midtown. We’re at the epicenter of health law and are happy to be back in one of our favorite roles: serving as your trusty live-blogging crew. We’ll be covering the panels, keynotes, and enforcement trends shaping health care practice right now.

The timing couldn’t be better. One year into the second Trump administration, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG) have reshuffled priorities, stood up a new National Fraud Division, and issued a steady stream of policy directives — and health care providers, payers, and their counsel are recalibrating in real time. The AHLA program reflects that.

A few sessions we’ll be watching particularly closely: Monday’s “False Claims Act Enforcement in Year 2 of Trump 2: What’s Changed, What’s Next” promises a candid exchange on the administration’s enforcement moves and what they mean for providers — and our own Ben Mizer will be on the panel. And on Wednesday, the conference saves a key conversation for the close: “Straight from the Source,” a general session featuring senior officials from DOJ, HHS-OIG, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) on fraud and abuse enforcement in 2026 and beyond.

Giselle Joffre joins the managed care discussion on emerging enforcement and program-integrity trends. On Tuesday, we’re hosting a Lunch and Learn — a “Policy Report from Washington and Midterm Preview” with Arnold & Porter’s Legislative and Public Policy Chair Eugenia Pierson, former Congressman Ron Kind, and senior policy advisor Sonja Nesbit, taking stock of what the back half of the year and the midterms could mean for the industry.

So stay tuned. We’ll be posting throughout the week as panels unfold, teasing out the trends and the takeaways that matter most to health care practitioners and the lawyers who advise them. And if you want to talk through anything we cover — or just find us in the hallway between sessions — reach out to any member of our Enforcement Edge conference blogging team.

See you in New York.
