SUMMARY:In the AI of the Storm: Practical Guidance for the Medicaid Expert
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, March 18\, 2026 \n2:00 PM ET \nArtificial intelligence is advancing faster than anything we’ve seen in the PBM industry – from technology capabilities to regulatory frameworks and the policies designed to govern them – creating both opportunity and risk. Aimed at providing both a strategic overview and a tactical look at how AI is being used in healthcare today\, this session will also explore the future of AI within the regulated markets space – examining where systems can fail and why safeguards\, transparency and human oversight matter. Join us to learn about emerging AI/ML-focused trends\, Medicaid relevant frameworks and how responsible governance can support innovation while protecting trust\, equity and accountability in an increasingly complex AI landscape. \nPresenters: \nThomas Brascia \nDirector\, Technology Growth and Intelligence \nEvernorth Health Services \nEmber Montunnas \nSenior Director\, Regulated Markets Business Development \nEvernorth Health Services \n \n  \n\nRegister Now\n \n

SUMMARY:Navigating Medicaid Headwinds: Scaling Impact Through Whole Health AI
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, March 25\, 2026 \n2:00 PM ET \nAs Medicaid Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) navigate new headwinds marked by significant federal funding cuts\, administrative work requirements\, and rising uncompensated care\, the traditional episodic care model is no longer practicable. For populations facing complex chronic conditions and deep-seated social determinants of health (SDOH)\, overextended clinical teams need a smart digital solution that preserves member dignity while driving clinical efficiency. \nJoin digital health leader and CMS early adopter Welldoc for an in-depth discussion exploring how a whole-person AI platform acts as a “digital companion” to help MCOs operate efficiently under financial pressure while providing the continuous\, dignified support necessary to improve health equity and clinical outcomes. \nLearning objectives: \n\nScale Without Headcount: Analyze how AI ecosystems mitigate funding pressures by expanding clinical capacity through automated\, intelligent workflows.\nFoster Member Dignity: Discover how digital coaching empowers members and improves data accuracy by reducing the “chilling effect” of traditional clinical settings.\nClose Care Gaps: Identify strategies for integrating multi-condition platforms to move the needle on HEDIS\, quality ratings\, and avoidable ER visits.\n\nPresenters: \nKeith Reynolds \nChief Operating Officer \nWelldoc \nPriya Jaisinghani\, MD \nEndocrinologist and Clinical Assistant Professor \nNYU Langone \n \n  \n  \n\nRegister Now
