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. Register today to reserve your seat at the conference and take advantage of early bird discounts.
We look forward to seeing you in New Orleans!
