Ep. 112. Modernizing Medicaid Administration
Manage episode 509354386 series 2710056
New York’s Medicaid program provides health insurance to nearly seven million New Yorkers, and it is a critically important way for people to get healthcare. On this episode of Policy Outsider, we discuss why the administration of the Medicaid program—that is, how it is staffed, how it procures services, how it captures, analyzes, and acts on its data—is so important to delivering effective outcomes. The discussion also emphasizes areas of potential improvement of the program's administration and highlights why right now—in the middle of the most significant health policy reforms since the Affordable Care Act—might actually be the best time to rethink how we administer this $100 billion program.
Guests
- Oxiris Barbot, President, The United Hospital Fund (UHF)
- Courtney Burke, Senior Fellow for Health Policy, Rockefeller Institute
- Bob Megna, President, Rockefeller Institute
- Chad Shearer, Senior Vice President for Policy and Program, The United Hospital Fund (UHF)
