🚨 GENERAL SESSION SPOTLIGHT 🚨

State Health Plan Associations – Their Role in Showcasing the Value of Medicaid Managed Care

🗓️ Friday, Sept. 12 | 11:00 AM–12:30 PM (CT)

Health plan leaders: If your mission is to deliver high-quality, high-value care to Medicaid members, this is the session you can’t miss.

Why attend?

Hear straight from the front lines—Jill Hayden (Illinois Association of Medicaid Health Plans - IAMHP) Mildred Menos (Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey) & Angela Weaver (Ohio Association of Health Plans) will unpack how state associations are amplifying Medicaid MCO priorities in RFPs, rate setting, quality measures and social-determinant initiatives.

Learn proven strategies to turn disparate plan voices into one powerful chorus that influences governors, legislatures and Medicaid agencies.

Walk away with actionable playbooks to protect your capitation rates, strengthen network adequacy and showcase outcomes that matter to policymakers.

Moderated by Stephen Cozzo, VP Government Relations & Public Policy, AmeriHealth Caritas

Bottom line: When associations win, plans win— and so do the 83M+ Medicaid lives we serve.

Medicaid and MHPA Continue Providing Access to Care as They Mark Major Milestones 🩺

For 60 years, Medicaid has been a lifeline of care. From covering 41% of all births 👶 to covering three in five nursing home residents, Medicaid has been there for Americans in all phases of life. Over the years, the number of Medicaid managed care enrollees has steadily increased from 16.4 million in 2003 to 33.3 million in 2013 to 72 million in 2022. But it’s not just enrollment that has trended positive. By partnering more with Medicaid managed care organizations (MCOs), states have seen health outcomes improve, barriers to care reduced, and care coordination enhanced. Today, 42 states including Washington, DC partner with comprehensive MCOs. More than 280 MCOs provide care to 75% of Medicaid enrollees, saving federal and state taxpayers $7 billion each year.

As MHPA celebrates its 30th anniversary, we’re reminded of the power of collaboration and advocacy. For three decades, MHPA has advocated alongside health plans and state governments to increase awareness of the value of Medicaid managed care and the importance of the nation’s public health safety net. Given recent sweeping changes in law affecting Medicaid eligibility and how the program is administered, MHPA and our member health plans’ commitment to ensuring that vulnerable populations have access to quality, affordable, and effective care remains as urgent and as vital as ever. 💪❤️‍🩹
