Happy Hours at Politico for a discussion on covering Medicaid |
 |
10/27/15 Rosslyn, VA |
How’s Obamacare Medicaid expansion working out for enrollees, providers and states? Where the best data to examine Medicaid managed care organizations? How are states trying to control rising Medicaid costs? Where is Medicaid failing children? How is Medicaid keeping people out of nursing homes?
These are just some of the topics our guests will address. Our speakers will be Cindy Mann, who until January was the top U.S. official in charge of Medicaid and now works at Manatt, Phelps & Phillips; Matt Salo, who heads the National Association of Medicaid Directors and Joan Alker, executive director of the Georgetown Center for Children and Families.
Come to learn tips on how to cover Medicaid, find interesting stories and discern myth from fact about this often misunderstood program. The discussion will be on the record.
