In recent history, the government regulation of the health insurance industry has changed how Aetna does business. No matter your future role with the organization, you need to ensure that you are aware of changing laws and how they will impact your work.

"I subscribe to several blogs on this topic and read the news. I try to take 15-30 minutes a day during lunch to read. If anything I'm hearing would cause a major process change, I think about whether or not I can handle it for my team or if it needs to be taken to my leader."

You have to be aware and able to recommend changes that need to happen in the organization to comply. Discuss how you stay current in your field and the changing regulations that come with it. This can include any journals you read, any CME you pursue, and any organizations you belong to.

I keep on top of any assigned training and stay current with policy updates and changes as they are released.
Amanda's Feedback
This is a good start. Other than completing training, share how you stay current with policy updates or legislative changes. Do you follow industry leaders on social media? Are you a member of any professional organizations that help you stay up to date? Are you a member of any company committees tasked with reviewing and communicating coming changes to others?
