May Community Roundtable on May 27 Offers More Insight into Proposed Rule and Payer Data Exchange

As the industry prepares for the next wave of healthcare interoperability, the HL7 Da Vinci Project is dedicated to providing the community with the insights and tools necessary for success. With newly proposed regulatory frameworks, the stakes for technical and operational alignment have never been higher. Join us for the May Community Roundtable on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, from 4 – 5:30 p.m. ET to prepare for what’s next.

What You’ll Learn

While our April session established the foundational context for the new federal rule (CMS-0062-P), the May session builds on the momentum by moving from initial impressions to active implementation strategies. We will provide a focused update of the community’s considerations regarding the 2026 Interoperability Standards and Prior Authorization for Drugs proposed rule, specifically focusing on the Payer Data Exchange (PDex), PDex Plan Net, and Member Attribution (ATR) List Implementation Guides (IGs) called out in the rule.

Real-World Perspectives & Demonstrations

Following the policy discussion, you will hear directly from implementers successfully deploying these standards in real-world payer environments:

  • Onyx: Discover how their implementations focus on moving data out of silos into standardized formats, providing endpoints for payers to make data available via HL7 FHIR IGs.
  • Availity: Watch a live demo of core PDex workflows, including member matching and data retrieval, and learn how a centralized network can reduce onboarding friction while preserving payer autonomy and PDex semantics.

Our presenters will share critical insights on scalability and how these implementations support broader policy goals around data access, care coordination, and patient empowerment.
