This Event is No Longer Taking Place
The Appeals & Grievances Summit is no longer taking place as a standalone RISE event; however, these topics haven't left the RISE portfolio. Appeals, grievances, and prior authorization will be addressed at several of our upcoming events, including RISE West 2026 and RISE National 2027, as well as in our free webinars and articles.
The Medicare Advantage landscape continues to evolve, and we're hearing the same thing across our community: organizations are being more intentional than ever about how they invest their conference time and budgets.
That's why RISE is taking a more focused approach to our conference lineup.
By bringing more of our community together through a thoughtfully designed lineup of higher-impact events, we're creating more opportunities to learn from industry leaders, exchange ideas with peers, and tackle today's biggest Medicare Advantage challenges together, from appeals and grievances to prior authorization and beyond.
What won't change is what you expect from RISE: timely education, meaningful networking, honest conversations, and direct access to the experts and peers shaping Medicare Advantage. It's the same trusted RISE experience, delivered through a more focused conference lineup designed to make every event worth your time.
