While the RISE Virtual Event Series: Appeals & Grievances Summit is no longer taking place, the topics remain highly relevant as plans navigate the impact of the 2027 Medicare Advantage Final Rule.

At RISE, our goal is to meet you where you are … and right now, that means giving you space to focus on what matters most. When the time is right, our in-person events are here to help you step out of the day-to-day and work through these challenges in real time.

We look forward to supporting you there!

Strengthen Your Appeals & Grievances Program in a High-Stakes Environment

The RISE Virtual Event Series: Appeals & Grievances is built for teams in the thick of it - managing rising volumes, tighter timelines, and growing scrutiny, all while trying to deliver a better member experience.

Right now, plans are facing a perfect storm: increased audit activity, more complex cases, and mounting pressure to resolve issues quickly and accurately. The result? Backlogs, inconsistent processes, and higher risk.

This event is designed to help you regain control.

You’ll walk away with practical ways to:

  • Keep pace with rising case volumes without sacrificing accuracy or turnaround times
  • Reduce operational friction across appeals, grievances, and utilization management teams
  • Strengthen documentation and decision-making consistency in a more scrutinized environment
  • Improve how you communicate with members to reduce confusion, repeat grievances, and complaints

We’ll also dig into how leading plans are using their appeals and grievances data more strategically, turning everyday operations into insights that drive better performance across the organization.
