Member Meetings FAQs

We often receive questions about the purpose and funding of our member meetings. The Hemophilia Alliance hosts eight in-person meetings each year, including four that offer CEUs. These meetings are a member benefit designed to strengthen HTC sustainability by fostering networking, peer-to-peer support, and the exchange of best practices. Below is a brief overview of the purpose and funding for each meeting type:

The Spring and Fall Member Meetings – These legacy meetings give attendees the opportunity to hear updates from Team Alliance on key areas such as advocacy, policy, compliance and emerging payer issues. Innovative HTC initiatives and emerging hot topics are also discussed. All disciplines from member HTCs are encouraged to participate. Hemophilia Alliance covers meals, and there is no registration fee. Members are responsible for arranging and funding their travel and hotel.

The New HTC Staff Meeting – This meeting is designed for staff who are new to member HTCs or who have taken on a role with greater focus on 340B and operations. It jumpstarts understanding of the bleeding disorders community and 340B, helps participants connect with colleagues, and highlights the benefits and services available through Hemophilia Alliance. It is recommended members have at least six months of experience at their HTC to optimally benefit from this meeting. With support from manufacturing partners, Hemophilia Alliance arranges and covers participants’ air travel, hotel accommodations (room and tax), and group meals.

The Medical Providers and Business Administrators (MPBA) Meeting – This meeting brings together clinical and business leaders from HTCs to meet, learn, and plan for the future. Its purpose is to strengthen collaboration between clinical and administrative teams, deepen shared understanding, engage the community, and support long-term sustainability of the HTC model. Hemophilia Alliance arranges and covers participants’ air travel, hotel accommodations (room and tax), and group meals.

The Discipline-Specific Continuing Education (CE) Meetings – These four meetings – the Pharmacist CE Meeting, the Linda Gammage Social Worker Conference, the Physical Therapist CE Meeting, and the Nurses CE Meeting – each provides CEUs and is organized by a planning committee of experts in hemophilia and related bleeding disorders from member HTCs. These meetings are designed to address educational gaps not covered by other programs. Hemophilia Alliance arranges and covers participants’ air travel, hotel accommodations (room and tax), and group meals.
