Medicaid is the single largest source of health coverage in the U.S. Now more than ever before, states are relying heavily on managed care organizations to serve their Medicaid beneficiaries to improve the quality of care delivered and control costs. Bringing together Medicaid leaders from states and health plans, as well as government leaders and policymakers, this summit will address the most pressing issues facing state Medicaid managed care. You will learn about national trends and innovative programs to best serve the growing Medicaid population; current federal and state policies and regulations; strategies to better manage utilization of health services; social determinants of health to better serve members; improvements in healthcare quality and outcomes; how to best coordinate care for complex populations; coordinating and integrating LTSS in managed care plans; how to achieve value-based care; and much more.

DKP will be represented by Samantha Williams, Consultant. Contact her to set up a time to meet!

The 2018 Western Medicaid Pharmacy Administrators Association meeting will be in Tucson, AZ in October. Dana Mennen, Government Payer Liaison, and Amara Udokporo, Consultant, will be attending the meeting as representatives for DK Pierce & Associates, Inc.

Through evidence- and value-based strategies and practices, the Academy’s 8,000 pharmacists, physicians, nurses and other practitioners manage medication therapies for the 270 million Americans served by health plans, pharmacy benefit management firms, emerging care models and government.

AMCP serves its members in many ways, including through live national conferences, online learning programs, research in peer-reviewed literature and advocacy. Each is designed with the goal of advancing professional knowledge, improving the design and delivery of pharmacy benefits, and ultimately, patient satisfaction and health outcomes.
