Celebrate Managed Care Week 2027

One week to recognize the people who negotiate the contracts, chase the underpayments, fight the denials, and keep patient access intact.

Attend on LinkedIn

What it is

Managed Care Week is a national recognition week for professionals in managed care, payer relations, healthcare contracting, revenue cycle, and reimbursement strategy. Their work sits behind every clean claim, every honored rate, and every patient who gets care without a billing battle.

It's for teams at health systems, medical groups, and academic, public, not-for-profit, and investor-owned organizations.
Last August, nearly 1,000 colleagues on LinkedIn took part.

How to take part

STEP 1

Mark your calendar

Hit Attend on the LinkedIn event page so you get every update and resource as it's released.

STEP 2

Recognize your team

During the week, share a win and tag the people behind it. Use #ManagedCareWeek so others can find it.

STEP 3

Bring your organization

Pass this page to your CFO, revenue cycle leaders, and marketing team so the work gets seen inside your walls, too.



Trusted by Healthcare Leaders

“Managed care strategy and negotiations for hospitals and other provider groups has always been an apprentice model. This is great content that helps deepen your knowledge of this vital work, and highlights the new issues and approaches that the current dynamic environment requires. Kudos to Kevin for bringing this to life.”

"As a Revenue Cycle Director working in the underpayment space, “Paige Does Not Have a Denial Problem. She Has a Contract Enforcement Problem and there is a Difference" and “They Call It Reimbursement for a Reason” really hit home for me. Kevin has a unique ability to take complex payer relations and managed care contracting issues and turn them into practical, relevant insights. I walked away from both pieces with actionable ideas I could apply in my own role. That is what I value most about Kevin’s content: it isn’t just informative and educational; it gives healthcare leaders something they can actually use."

"Payers get away with so many interferences that go unchecked, this gives us the ammunition to push back and hold them accountable instead of just absorbing the fallout."
