2026 National Medicaid Medicare CHIP Oral Health Symposium

The 2026 National Medicaid Medicare CHIP Oral Health Symposium focuses on "Improving Program Integrity: New Rules and Better Solutions". Attendees will gain historical insight into the evolution of Program Integrity since the 2009 re-authorization of the Children's Health Insurance Program, with discussions on recent Federal legislation and regulations impacting State Medicaid programs, managed care organizations, administrative vendors, providers, and members. The symposium will cover how different state Medicaid administrative models incorporate program integrity policies, the roles of federal and state authorities (e.g., US District Attorney Office, HHS OIG, State Medicaid Fraud Control Unit) in managing healthcare fraud, waste, and abuse, and emerging issues from dental provider organizations and the commercial industry. Sessions include detailed explanations and demonstrations of updated strategies, technologies, and algorithms (including AI) used to identify Medicaid dental program fraud, waste, and abuse, as well as risk management strategies.
