"We were thrilled to participate in this event as we are ready to get back to conferences," said Jennifer Young from Rebellis Group. "Sharing the new D-SNP compliance and A&G processes with other conference experts and attendees and talking about potential ramifications of non-compliance validated that health plans will have a challenging time getting these new requirements implemented."

"Virtual events are nice, but it's so much better for discussion when we can come together in person," said Ken Stockman, chief executive officer of Beacon. "We decided it was time, so we made the investment, but also understood that not all businesses have opened up travel, so we made it a hybrid event to meet everyone's needs. The feedback on the content and format has been excellent."

Twenty health plans and healthcare organizations participated in the Leadership Summit either on site or virtually.
