Pre-Conference Workshop
Medicaid 101: A Primer on the Medicaid Landscape
Sunday, Sept. 30
1:00 pm to 5:00 pmMedicaid is an incredibly complex program, with wide state variation in structure, benefits, payments, and policies. Even experts lack a complete understanding of how the program works in each of the 50 states and Washington, DC.
That’s why HMA is offering a special Pre-Conference Workshop Medicaid 101: A Primer on the Medicaid Landscape. During this interactive workshop, HMA consultants will provide attendees with an understanding of the basic building blocks of Medicaid and an update on the changing landscape for Medicaid programs and policies.
The workshop will help lay the groundwork for the more intense discussions to follow at the broader HMA Conference on Oct. 1-2.
