National Governors Association

NGA recently published a policy memo including a detailed table that provides an overview of state actions to address COVID-19 in long-term care facilities. The table includes notable actions from states with helpful links to relevant guidance and resources for each state. Updates on additional state actions and examples will be added to the table regularly and states are encouraged to contact NGA with changes.

This report presents highlights from a National Governor's Association Roundtable held in December 2018. At the roundtable, state and federal officials, national experts, and industry and consumer experts discussed challenges and opportunities for states to improve care and manage costs for dual eligibles. Based on the conversation at this event, NGA identifies key considerations for governors and their staff.

The National Governors Association (NGA) Center for Best Practices Health Division released a new guide, “The Future of Medicaid Transformation: A Practical Guide for States.” The guide provides a framework for how states can design statewide Medicaid transformation proposals, and is based on the NGA policy academy attended by three states that initially pursued Section 1115 waivers (Alabama, Nevada, and Washington).
