Session Description: This session will provide participants with a national landscape of the Medicaid program and will assess the impact of recent state legislative, regulatory, and budgetary policy changes since 2024. As a federal-state partnership, the Medicaid program is jointly administered and funded by CMS and state Medicaid agencies, requiring extensive coordination. Health centers, PCAs, and NACHC must work collaboratively to ensure policymakers at every level are aware of their impact on patients, particularly in medically underserved and rural communities. This session will explore recent state policy changes impacting Medicaid, such as: work requirements, state funding, service delivery, and alternative payment methodologies.

Learning Objectives:

  • Participants will learn about the national landscape of state Medicaid policies impacting health centers
  • Participants will learn how states used 1115 waivers to leverage Medicaid funds
  • Participants will be able to connect with other PCAs to learn from each other on their approach to policy
