Promoting Health Equity in Medicaid Managed Care

On Monday, November 1 State Health and Value Strategies is hosting a webinar that will review steps states can take to integrate health equity into their Medicaid managed care programs. Medicaid’s role in providing healthcare coverage to individuals who experience economic and social disadvantage is leading many states to integrate health equity into their population health management strategies, focusing specific attention on reducing health disparities and addressing conditions that create health inequities. The webinar will profile the recently published Promoting Health Equity in Medicaid Managed Care: A Guide for States, a practical guide that offers a series of concrete actions state Medicaid agencies can implement internally and with their contracted health plans in pursuit of health equity. During the webinar, experts from Bailit Health will review the three sections of the Guide and facilitate a discussion with state officials.
