10 Medicaid Trends to Watch in 2016—and Beyond

Sponsored by Bloomberg BNA  and Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP

Medicaid continues to gain scale and importance nationally—as the leading source of coverage for Americans and a change agent within the healthcare marketplace.  With the number of Americans obtaining health coverage through Medicaid at an all-time high and mounting evidence of the benefits of Medicaid expansion—to people, providers and states—the coming year is expected to bring continued growth and change.

In a new webinar, Manatt Health will reveal the top-10 Medicaid trends to watch in 2016 and beyond.  The program will examine the key developments that are transforming Medicaid…how they are playing out as Medicaid continues to evolve…and the implications for the full range of healthcare stakeholders.   From the continued innovations in Medicaid managed care to the emerging opportunities for improving behavioral health to the building momentum for reforming long-term services and supports (LTSS), the session will take an in-depth look at the 10 most powerful trends today—and how they will impact the future of Medicaid and the full U.S. healthcare system.
