Manatt Health Solutions

The State Network 1332 Waivers Affinity Group webinar series continued with a new presentation from the team at Manatt Health Solutions. This webinar focused on funding issues, and dove into the mechanics of repurposing existing federal subsidies under a different coverage affordability model.  This ongoing series has included presentations providing an overview of the basics around these waivers, including statutory guardrails, discussions on what can and cannot be waived, potential opportunities available to states through the waiver process, and potential coordination between 1332 and 1115 waivers.  Prior installments of this webinar series are available in the State Network 1332 Waivers Resource Library.
