Medical Cost Containment Summit Dallas | Kisaco Research

Spearheading Collaboration For More Affordable Healthcare

The only event focused on optimizing the healthcare payments lifecyle to drive meaningful change to healthcare cost and quality. 

February 2-4, 2026 | Dallas

MCC launched in 2023 as the Healthcare Payment & Revenue Integrity (HPRI) Congress, the first industrywide conference focused on payment integrity. 

Recognizing that collaboration across the payments ecosystem is imperative to cost containment, HPRI expanded to include provider RCM leaders.  

Today, MCC brings together over 200 payers and providers and 40+ vendor partners to discuss critical issues across three custom tracks (PI, RCM, Risk Adjusment). The conference is the exclusive platform for sharing the outcomes of the PI Standards & Benchmarking Initiative, a collaboration among a workgroup of PI analytics experts, 30+ health plans and 25+ vendor partners
