2026 Update: The State of Prior Authorization

3/3/2026
11:00 AM – 12:00 PM CT (60 minutes)
Zoom Meeting

As we enter 2026, the prior authorization landscape looks dramatically different than it did just a year ago. With the January 2027 CMS-0057 compliance deadline rapidly approaching, health plans that were in early planning phases are now in active implementation, and the lessons learned are reshaping industry best practices. This session provides a timely market update on how the prior authorization environment has evolved and what health plan leaders need to know heading into the final compliance stretch.
We'll examine the latest developments in federal and state regulations, share fresh insights from health plans at various stages of their modernization journey, and discuss how emerging trends in automation and AI are being applied in real-world environments. This update will focus on what has changed in the market over the past year.

Whether your organization is refining its compliance approach or accelerating implementation timelines, this session will offer current, actionable intelligence on market trends and proven strategies for success in 2026 and beyond.
