A SAMHSA-Sponsored Webinar Presented by UCONN School of Social Work's Innovations Institute
Best Practices in Medicaid Managed Care
2:00 - 3:30 PM ET Register!
Approximately 70% of Medicaid beneficiaries are enrolled in some form of Medicaid Managed Care (MCO) plan across the United States and over half of all Medicaid payments are made to MCOs. Given the growing presence of MCOs in Medicaid and the expanded role these plans play in delivering behavioral health services, it is imperative for states to implement best practice strategies in managing Medicaid managed care contracts across the life span of the contract. This webinar will provide concrete and relevant guidance, examples, and strategies to manage Medicaid managed care contracts from procurement all the way through quality review and reevaluation. It will also include recommendations to better track MCO performance and outcomes related to children’s behavioral health.
Moderator Suzanne Fields will be joined by Amy Munoz, Special Advisor, Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System and Lynne Lyon, Deputy Director, Ohio Department of Medicaid.
