Addressing Health-Related Social Needs Through Medicaid Managed Care

Erin Campbell, Mary Beth Dyer, and Anna Rothenberg, Bailit Health

States are increasingly leveraging their Medicaid programs to transform healthcare delivery and improve individual and population health with a focus on addressing health-related social needs (HRSN). This toolkit identifies examples of approaches states are taking through their Medicaid managed care programs to address HRSN. States interested in implementing specific strategies to identify and address HRSN can use this toolkit to develop managed care procurements or update and operationalize key contract provisions. The toolkit includes a curated set of examples from 21 profiled states and has been updated as of October 2024.
