Behind the Scenes in Medicaid: How States Are Navigating a Changing Environment

The Center for Health Care Strategies will hold a webinar convening current and former Medicaid directors from across the country to discuss how states are navigating the rapidly changing Medicaid policy environment.

This webinar will highlight how states are adapting to budget pressures, operational demand, and a heightened focus on addressing fraud, waste, and abuse. Topics discussed will include how directors are setting priorities amid new federal guidance, what challenges are most pressing, how agencies are strengthening staff capacity, and what states need from partners.
