Student Healthcare Compliance Webinar

Tue, 17 Apr 2012 20:15:00 GMT

Upcoming Webinars

Thursday, April 12^th: 2:00 pm Central/3:00 pm Eastern
Tuesday, April 17^th: 10:00 am Central/11:00 am Eastern

Recently, AAICU began pro-active discussions with UnitedHealthcare StudentResources regarding the Health and Human Services (HHS) release of their guidelines for student healthcare plans under the Patient Protection and Affordability Care Act (PPACA). These new guidelines, announced on March 16th, made all existing plans from all carriers, including UnitedHealthcare, effectively out of compliance and required re-writing of new plans. Because this is a critical period for commitment to student insurance plans for the 2012-2013 academic year, UnitedHealthcare immediately began work on new compliant plans for your member institutions for the coming year.
To inform all of you on these regulations, AAICU and UnitedHealthcare StudentResources are holding two webinars for the scheduling convenience of AAICU members. They will be held on the following days:

Thursday, April 12^th 2:00 pm Central/3:00 pm Eastern
Tuesday, April 17^th: 10:00 am Central/11:00 am Eastern

If you are in need of the call in information, please contact kcauthen@knology.net for specific instructions.

Microsoft Webinar Annoucement

Wed, 06 Jul 2011 19:04:00 GMT

AAICU members have an opportunity to leverage their combined buying power for Microsoft software in a new way! Based on the positive response from the Spring survey, the Alabama Association of Independent Colleges and Universities is able to officially announce open enrollment for the first ever Consolidated Microsoft EES for AAICU.

Please plan to join AAICU and ScholarBuys for a webinar scheduled for this Tuesday, July 12th at 2:00pm CST to review the new AAICU Microsoft Enrollment for Education Solutions (EES) Program.

What is Microsoft EES Agreement?

EES Microsoft is an annual subscription licensing program, which replaced the Campus Enrollment (under the Microsoft Campus and School Agreement) on March 1^st, 2011. Through EES schools license software based on fac/staff FTE count, rather than the # of computers the software is installed on. Any upgrades or downgrades of those products are included through the term of the subscription. Microsoft EES is a simple, flexible program that enables you to standardize your software across your campus, keep your technology up-to-date, and annualize your Microsoft budget.

What is the AAICU Microsoft Consolidated EES?

The Alabama Association of Independent Colleges and Universities has arranged with ScholarBuys and Microsoft to create an Association-wide EES Agreement. The AAICU EES Agreement will enable participating schools to combine their FTEs to qualify for deeper levels of discount from Microsoft . Based on several factors, September 1^st, 2011 has been chosen as the common renewal date for the AAICU EES Agreement. Schools with existing Campus Agreements agreements, if authorized by Microsoft, will be granted amendments to “sync” their agreement to the common renewal date.

Procurement Card Best Practices Conference Call

Procurement Card Best Practices Conference Call
Peer-to-Peer Information Exchange

Wednesday, April 13, 2011
2 pm ET / 1 pm CT / 11 pm PT

Each year in April, CCCS and JPMorgan Chase sponsor a P-Card Best Practice sharing event where ideas are presented to enhance existing p-card programs. The goal of this information exchange is to expose participants to a variety of experiences and uses, successfully implemented at other institutions, to consider for their own campus p-card programs.

This year CCCS is changing the format of this Best Practice event to feature a panel of presenters from CCCS institutions. The presenters will share their experiences regarding uses of the p-card at their schools and also be available to the participants for a Q&A discussion session at the conclusion of their comments. The opportunity to compare programs and learn from your peers should pay dividends on your investment of time and participation on the call. Participation is open to anyone on your campus who has an interest in your p-card program, including personnel from Procurement, Accounts Payable, Accounting, IT and your end- user departments.

Participants will also receive a short briefing on the new five-year contract with JPMorgan Chase, including news about favorable changes in the rebate calculation for 2011 and beyond. Please mark your calendars for this important learning opportunity!
