Overview

Medicare Advantage is currently facing unprecedented challenges. The changes and cuts for Medicare Advantage have ushered in a much tougher climate for health plans. The cuts render revenues challenging and margins tight. It’s more important than ever in this era of pay for performance that medical management, operations, customer service and the financial side all work together to both advance the metrics needle for Star Ratings and provide actual value-based services and improved outcomes. How to run a tighter ship to protect margins, provide real outcomes, and increase your plan payments?

The 2024 National Medicare Advantage Conference promises to set standards within the industry, and will prove to be a game changer for leaders, experts, as well as policymakers involved within Medicare Advantage. In addition to having a strong focus on the larger issues facing Medicare Advantage – such as quality improvement, member acquisition/retention, profitability enhancement, compliance, etc. – the conference will feature topics focused on Product Development, Innovation and Value-Based Healthcare.

In this premier event, we bring together leaders and innovators to share their insights and offer solutions on the abundant challenges facing Medicare Advantage. By attending the 2024 National Medicare Advantage Conference, you will learn what others in your industry are doing to be better prepared for the challenges that lie ahead in 2025. Register today to reserve your seat at the conference and take advantage of early bird discounts!

We look forward to greeting you in Nashville!
