| To pend or pay? The classic question facing TPAs and payers when it comes to recovering third party claims. The problem is that pending claims runs into friction with traditional subrogation, which is slow and relies on member outreach via questionnaires. Pending claims risks limiting reimbursement amounts and missing out on recoveries altogether. Intellivo's Recovery Intelligence replaces traditional methods and eliminates the need to gather information from members. For more information click here.

| 3:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. | Vendor Solution Showcase: Five Key Considerations for Choosing the Right AI Solution – and the Right AI Partner – presented by Gradient AI | |
| Are you using the right AI tool and the right AI partner? And are you maximizing your existing solution? Maximizing AI requires more than simply adopting AI point solutions in isolation. To really improve performance, you must move away from siloed processes and toward coordinated full-cycle workflows that align risk management across new business acquisition, population health management, and existing group renewals. Whether you’re a stop loss carrier, MGA/MGU, captive, your challenge each year remains combating rising healthcare costs, battling the frequency of high-cost claims, all while striving to profitably grow your book of business. These obstacles have not changed from last year, but your strategy and which solutions you use and how need to be addressed and refined to reach your objectives in 2026.
