As the Medicaid landscape continues to evolve and new regulations guide the practice of managed care, it’s essential to embrace value-based care and ensure alignment with managed care requirements. In order to continue this growth and improve access to care, the focus on health equity and social determinants of health becomes increasingly important.

At the 10th Annual Medicaid Managed Care Summit, explore ways to advance the shift to value-based care, improve quality for vulnerable populations, and discuss ways to align services with recent regulatory changes. Shared sessions between the 2nd Annual MLTSS Summit and Medicare Advantage Business Strategy Summit promote learning and networking across different plan types and delivery systems. .
