Event Overview

1:00 PM – 2:00 PM CT (60 minutes)
Webinar // Zoom Meeting
Join CHRISTUS Health Plan and Rebellis Group as they share strategic lessons learned in developing and refining Medicare Advantage products within an integrated health system. The session will include an open discussion, so come prepared to exchange ideas, ask questions, and discuss approaches with your Alliance peers.
This session will explore how CHRISTUS Health approached bid planning, benefit design and market positioning while navigating both the opportunities and challenges unique to health-system–aligned plans. Learn practical insights, key considerations for integrated health system MA strategies and reflections from recent bid cycles—offering HPA member plans new perspectives on strategy, collaboration and decision-making.
Medicare Advantage plans are navigating tighter margins, shifting regulations, and growing performance expectations. In this workgroup, leaders come together to focus on key topics across Stars, quality, risk adjustment, compliance, and bid strategy. Through open dialogue and peer exchange, you’ll gain practical solutions and fresh ideas to strengthen your plan’s performance.
Your perspective strengthens the conversation.
