CHCS is seeking applications from Medicaid agencies for the next cohort of the Medicaid Primary Care Population-Based Payment Learning Collaborative. Population-based payment is an advanced value-based payment approach that seeks to overcome the limitations of fee-for-service and offer providers more flexible and predictable payments to manage patients’ health care needs. Up to six agencies will be selected for this 12-month technical assistance opportunity focused on developing, implementing, and improving Medicaid population-based payment models for primary care. All states, commonwealths, and territories are eligible to apply. Applications are due October 4, 2024. https://bit.ly/3M3sO7i Arnold Ventures; The Commonwealth Fund; Rob Houston; Kelsey Brykman; Anne Smithey

About nine in 10 adults in the U.S. struggle to understand important information about their health care. Disproportionately impacting marginalized populations, including Medicaid members, limited health literacy contributes to poor health outcomes, greater costs, and even higher mortality rates. But there are best practices, standards, and new strategies that can help health care organizations better equip patients with important health care information and advance health equity. This September 24 panel will gather Medicaid stakeholders from state agencies, health plans, and at the community member level to explore opportunities to advance health equity through improved health literacy. Panelists from state Medicaid agencies, health plans, and the Medicaid member community will outline practical steps that they have taken to address health literacy through improved communications, national cultural and language access standards (such as CLAS), and community engagement. https://bit.ly/4cPIQ0u AmeriHealth Caritas, Banner Health, California Department of Health Care Services

Medicaid agencies play a role in dual eligible special needs plan (D-SNP) oversight. But to develop an oversight strategy, they need to understand Medicare D-SNP policies and available data. So, how can Medicaid agencies build Medicare knowledge to get the results they want from D-SNP-based integrated care programs? To answer this question, the Center for Health Care Strategies spoke with Medicaid officials from the District of Columbia, Minnesota, and Washington State to learn how they are strengthening their understanding of Medicare policy. Drawing from these conversations, this blog post explores practical strategies these Medicaid agencies are using to develop the Medicare knowledge necessary for effective monitoring and oversight of integrated D-SNP models. https://bit.ly/3SMcRqO Arnold Ventures, The Commonwealth Fund, The SCAN Foundation, Lida Momeni, Nancy Archibald, Alexandra Kruse
