Overview

In the United States today, over 70 million low income individuals are enrolled in Medicaid Managed Care plans and it is expected to increase drastically by 2026. CMS has instituted its Final Rule, a sweeping overhaul of Medicaid Managed Care, resulting in new regulations and mandates with the goal of improving Medicaid member access to quality healthcare, enhancing outcomes while reducing healthcare costs. State Medicaid Agencies and Medicaid Health Plans throughout the United States are struggling with how to be best prepared and succeed in this new, rapidly evolving landscape of healthcare.

We have created an exciting, high level forum featuring knowledgeable leaders and executives from the nation's leading Medicaid Health Plans and State Government Agencies who will share their perspectives, valuable insights and expertise on how to be best equipped for the rapidly evolving landscape of Medicaid Managed Care. Attendees will benefit from learning about best practices and strategies that have been deployed to address the challenges in transforming Medicaid Managed Care. Topics include improving network adequacy, enhancing member access to quality healthcare, boosting member enrollment/engagement, managing carved in services, integrating social determinants, enhancing care coordination/collaboration and reducing the overall healthcare spending.

By attending the 2021 Medicaid Managed Care Forum, you will learn what others in the Medicaid Managed Care arena are doing to succeed in transforming the nation’s healthcare and its Medicaid member population.

Value-Based Care 101: Effective Models within Medicaid Managed Care

Value-based care models reward doctors and hospitals for the quality of their service as well as helping keep people healthy and improving the health of those who have chronic conditions in an evidence-based, cost-effective way. In a fee-for-service model, doctors, hospitals, and medical practices are paid based on the number of healthcare services delivered. Unlike value-based care, payment is determined by the quantity of services not the quality of services. Value-based care or value-based contracts emphasize the quality of patients' care. A value-based approach is designed around patients. Medical care teams focus on individual needs, whether preventive, chronic or acute. Learn about strategies to help improve quality and financial performance. Find out how to use data to develop a clinical roadmap to value-based program success.
