Hospital & Health Networks interviewed Manatt's Deborah Bachrach, a partner in the firm's Healthcare practice, for an article on how state Medicaid programs are becoming leaders in devising and implementing risk-based care and reimbursement models.
Hospital & Health Networks reports that to save money and improve quality, state Medicaid programs are adding risk-based reimbursement and care models, which, in turn, seems to be raising the importance of Medicaid programs in the broader health reform effort.
"Virtually every state, whether it's an expansion state or a non-expansion state, is looking at reforming Medicaid payment and delivery systems," said Bachrach.
