Has the Payer-Provider Relationship Reached a Turning Point?

For decades, the payer-provider relationship has been defined by friction: rising costs, reimbursement disputes and growing operational and regulatory complexity. ​

New 2026 research of more than 500 payers and providers suggests there may be more to the story. 

​Join Fierce Healthcare, Zelis® and Datos Insights for a conversation about the unexpected research findings, including: 

• How each side understands — or misunderstands — the pressures facing the other  ​ 

• Why friction persists even when priorities overlap  ​ 
• How rapid AI adoption is shaping payer and provider outlooks​ 

Our panelists will examine what the industry conversation may be missing — and why the biggest barriers to progress may come down to how healthcare actually works. 

Attendees will receive first access to the full research report.
