The Role of Medicaid and CHIP in Responding to Public Health Crises and Disasters

The Medicaid and CHIP Coverage Learning Collaborative (MACLC) is hosting an all-state virtual meeting in partnership with the National Association of Medicaid Directors (NAMD). This webinar will outline the role of Medicaid and CHIP in responding to public health crises and disasters; provide an overview of disaster-related legal authorities; describe examples of strategies that states and Territories may leverage to respond to specific disaster-related problems; and walk-through a series of NAMD-developed operational checklists that support states and Territories pre, during and post disasters. The webinar will also discuss specific tools designed to support states and Territories. 

 

Additionally, during this event Medicaid leadership in Florida and Texas will discuss their experiences responding to Hurricanes Irma and Harvey.
