MEDICAID MANAGED CARE FORUM OBJECTIVES
- Facilitate input on experiences, preferences and desired outcomes for Medicaid managed care among disability leadership, federal and state agency representatives; health plans, and providers.
- Promote the Medicaid managed care principles outlined in the NCD report, Medicaid Managed Care for People with Disabilities http://www.ncd.gov/publications/2013/20130315/
- Summarize and disseminate the forum proceedings and stakeholder input.
- Develop a set of recommendations for uniform best practices to be developed into policy directives to the States from the federal government on Medicaid Managed Care.
