New Federal Rules on Medicaid Access and Managed Care Webinar Series
After releasing sweeping proposed rules on Medicaid access and managed care in spring 2023, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is expected to release final rule changes in April 2024. With these rules, CMS aims to increase transparency for Medicaid program data, enhance opportunities for beneficiary voice, and strengthen federal and state oversight of care access and quality. The proposed rules address both the fee-for-service (FFS) and managed care delivery systems, and also include targeted provisions on home and community-based services (HCBS)
In a free three-part webinar series, Manatt Health’s multidisciplinary team will unpack the newly finalized rules, offering key insights and implications for stakeholders such as Medicaid enrollees, providers, managed care organizations (MCOs), and state governments.
In the first webinar of the series, Manatt Health will discuss new requirements, for both FFS and managed care programs, on monitoring enrollee access to care; creating opportunities for enrollee engagement; and enhancing the transparency and standardization of provider payment data.
