STATE OPPORTUNITIES TO ADOPT MEDICAID DELIVERY SYSTEM REFORMS UNDER THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT: A Guide for State Advocates

Shawn Bishop and I recently completed a paper entitled as above.  The paper was prepared for the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities and they have distributed the paper to State advocates.  The guide focuses on three types of delivery system reforms that states can elect to adopt in their Medicaid programs under the ACA: 1) new patient care models, 2) new payment approaches, and 3)
the development of new quality measures. The guide provides overview of the reforms available, and discusses ways in which state advocates can work with their partners and state
officials to effectively implement these reforms.

See me for a copy of the report at thausner@gmail.com.  Shawn served on the Senate Finance Committee staff during the work on the ACA and is now primarily working with the Marlowe Group as well as doing independent consulting.
