The 9th Annual Medicaid Managed Care Leadership Summit 2024 | RISE | 1 April 2024 | Virtual

This summit provides essential tools to help Medicaid managed care organizations, providers, community-based organizations, and other Medicaid leaders strengthen member engagement, comply with ever-changing state and federal regulations, overcome financing challenges, and improve the quality of care and health equity for vulnerable populations.

This virtual summit will explore ways to provide quality care to a high-risk population, connect with hard-to-reach patients, and ensure financial viability for Medicaid managed care organizations and providers. Attendees will walk away with the tools they need to improve clinical outcomes, succeed with value-based contracting, stay on top of regulatory changes, address social determinants of health (SDoH), and make the most of lessons learned from the unwinding of continuous enrollment.
