Members of the OrangeSlices AI team attended the HHS & CMS Online Happy Hour event this week. If you don’t go to this recurring and increasingly popular event hosted by Shelley McGuire, you are missing out. Great networking and great updates are shared every time. (Track her events here)
For those who were unable to attend, included below we share a few of the key updates we captured related to some of the current and upcoming opportunities at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the Department of Health and Human Services.
