Fireside Chat: From Oversight to Prevention – How AI Is Reshaping Medicaid Program Integrity Medicaid programs are facing increasing pressure to move beyond pay-and-chase models that drive cost, complexity, and friction. This session explores how AI and automation are being applied earlier in the payment lifecycle, where regulators see the greatest risk, and what expectations are emerging for payers and partners. The focus is practical, grounded, and centered on accountability—not theory.

11:00 AM – 11:45 AM |
From the Staring Line to Real Impact: Making AI-Driven Provider Education Work to Improve Provider Experience Payers on this panel will share what was happening inside their provider education and engagement programs that prompted a closer look at AI-enabled approaches. The discussion will explore how different organizations think about using AI to influence provider behavior earlier, reduce friction, and improve the overall experience—whether through active deployment or careful evaluation. Panelists will discuss what they’ve seen work, where concerns remain, and how AI changes the balance between education, enforcement, and trust. Attendees will leave with a realistic view of how AI can support provider education without creating new sources of abrasion. |

Get in the Driver’s Seat.
Just as elite drivers read the course early and adjust before the turn, today’s top payers use AI and GenAI to get upstream—spotting risk sooner, guiding providers earlier, and avoiding the abrasion and rework that slow everyone down. That’s the advantage you’ll gain at AI Summit 2026.
