Michael welcomes Michelle Barry (Availity) and Martin Cody (Madaket Health), WEDI's Provider Information Subworkgorup Co-Chairs. The three discuss the mission of the subworkgroup, which includes identifying business issues impacting the transmission and receipt of provider directory data. An extensive and complicated issue, Martin and Michelle reflect on an outstanding provider directory data panel at last week's WEDI national conference and offer a preview of the topics that will addressed at their special virtual spotlight on November 7 as they and WEDI's No Surprises Act Taskgroup discuss the critical issues with provider directory data and the impact of the act on healthcare stakeholders including patients.

The November 7 event is free and open to all healthcare professionals.
