National Managed Healthcare Congress

The National Managed Healthcare Congress (NMHCC) was a prominent organization that specialized in hosting large-scale educational conferences and networking events for the healthcare industry. Founded in 1989, it became a central hub for stakeholders in managed care, including insurance payers, healthcare providers, and pharmaceutical executives, to discuss regulatory changes and business strategies. The organization's flagship annual event was recognized as a premier forum for the development of integrated delivery systems and health policy in the United States. NMHCC played a pivotal role during the 1990s in facilitating the transition of the US healthcare system toward managed care models and addressing the implications of legislation like HIPAA. The company was eventually acquired by the Institute for International Research (IIR), which was later absorbed by the global publishing and events company Informa.
