Remodel Health, in partnership with Ambetter Health, is set to kick off its fourth annual AIM Conference — the nation’s premier gathering for individual coverage health reimbursement arrangement (ICHRA) innovation — from May 20 to 22, 2026, at the JW Marriott in downtown Indianapolis. This conference brings together bold thinkers, game-changing technologies, and health benefits leaders who are shaping the future of employer-sponsored health coverage.
Whether you’re a broker, employer, HR executive, or insurance carrier innovator, AIM 2026 is where the future of health benefits and ICHRA takes center stage. Here’s what you can expect at this year’s conference.
What is AIM?
Remodel Health’s premier ICHRA conference, Aligning ICHRA Minds, is a one-of-a-kind event focused on unlocking the full potential of ICHRAs through innovation, collaboration, and education.
Across three jam-packed days in Indianapolis, attendees will learn about the latest ICHRA trends, best practices, and real-world applications. Experience memorable keynote addresses, presentations, workshops, and networking opportunities. AIM is the place to be for leaders and decision-makers in the health insurance industry.
The ICHRA is a modern alternative to traditional group health insurance. It allows employers to give their employees a tax-free contribution for individual health insurance premiums. ICHRAs empower employees to choose coverage that fits their unique needs, while providing employers with a cost-controlled, scalable solution.
“AIM is THE conference for the industry innovators who want something different from the status quo and want health insurance alternatives that compete with the largest organizations,” Remodel Health CEO Austin Lehman said. “What makes AIM unique is the caliber of leadership and the willingness to engage in real, strategic dialogue. It’s not just about trends—it’s about building better solutions to be part of healing a broken healthcare system.”
Why attend AIM 2026?
