Code updates. Site-of-service rule changes. Specialty drug billing classifications. Telehealth policy still being written. Coding technology evolving. The environment that edit programs have to keep up with in 2026 is more complex than it has ever been, and an annual review cycle is not enough. This session looks at what a well-governed, modern, continuously maintained edit program looks like in practice, where the most costly gaps tend to open and how technology can keep your plan ahead. 

• How to build an edit governance process that keeps pace with frequent policy changes across multiple lines of business
• Where the highest-risk edit gaps are opening right now and how to prioritise closing them without expanding every programme at once
• How to defend edits in provider disputes when the underlying policy they are based on is itself in transition

As AI adoption accelerates across clinical documentation, coding, and billing workflows, health plans are facing new challenges balancing claims accuracy, operational efficiency, and provider collaboration. Join Alaffia for a candid discussion on how AI-driven claims intelligence can help plans address emerging upcoding risk, improve oversight in high-impact areas, and move closer to a shared source of truth across the claims lifecycle.

• Where health plans are seeing the most volatility in complex, high-dollar claims such as sepsis
• How plans are adapting review and oversight models in an AI-enabled environment while reducing provider abrasion
• How clinician-informed, agentic AI can support scalable payment integrity and workflow automation across pre-pay and post-pay settings
• How payers can use AI to improve coding accuracy, strengthen payer-provider alignment, and support defensible outcomes
