Spotlight Series
NAACOS is hosting a year-long series of forums to help members get smarter, faster about tech-enable care with use cases and enterprise solutions that can scale your work and improve outcomes. Launched at the 2026 Spring Conference, the remaining virtual forums will include walk-throughs of in-demand products, followed by closed and unfiltered conversation among value-based care entities. Each walk-through is sponsored by one of NAACOS’ vetted business partners.

Rearview to Real-Time: How ACOs Are Using Actuarial AI to Win in VBC
Date: November 10, 2026; Time: 1-2 p.m. ET

Every ACO leader eventually has to answer the same question: are we making or losing money on this contract? For most organizations, a reliable answer doesn’t show up until months after the performance year closes, when it’s too late to change anything. As CMS reshapes its ACO models, organizations are making multi-year decisions about where to participate, often with that same lagging data.
Join UNC Health Alliance and Arbital Health for a candid conversation about how ACOs can stop reporting on past performance and start managing it while there’s still time to act. Christine Rabenda, CFO/CAO, and Eric Carrig, Director of Value-Based Care Performance, will share how UNC Health Alliance approaches the decisions in front of today’s ACOs and how their finance and value-based care teams use actuarial AI in their daily work. You’ll also get a live look at the Arbital platform, including how ACOs model program options side by side and get traceable, actuarial-grade answers to performance questions in minutes.
What you’ll learn:
- How to evaluate program options with confidence before committing to a multi-year track
- How finance and VBC teams use actuarial AI to catch cost trends and performance gaps earlier in the year
- Where ACO programs stand today and what the changing CMS model landscape means for your organization

Audit-Defensible AI: Risk Adjustment in the Age of Expanded RADV
The industry question has flipped. It’s no longer “can AI find more HCCs?” It’s “can every code you submit survive an extended audit?” AI that captures codes without a defensible chain of evidence is a liability multiplier, not an asset.

Watch our Innovation Spotlight series – AI That Delivers Transparent and Defensible Population Health Opportunity Identification – sponsored by UrsaHealth. Not all opportunities are created equal. Not all AI analyses effectively avoid hallucinations to identify valid opportunities. This session will focus on how deliberately designed AI can help prioritize high-impact areas by combining clinical, financial, and utilization data to support more targeted population health management strategies, while still maintaining trust and transparency in the underlying methodology. This event will be held on May 12 at 2:00 p.m. ET. Participation is free for members and non-members from ACOs and other value-based care organizations. Watch the webinar.
