Summary
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has launched a new initiative that pairs 10 health technology companies with state Medicaid programs to help implement community engagement requirements mandated by recent legislation. With over $600 million in savings offered through no-cost and discounted technology solutions, this collaboration aims to modernize Medicaid systems, enhance beneficiary experiences, and reduce costs for states and taxpayers. Health and Human Services officials emphasize the initiative's potential to integrate able-bodied Medicaid beneficiaries into the workforce, thereby addressing broader societal goals. As states prepare for these changes with guidance from CMS, the initiative represents a strategic shift in leveraging technology to improve Medicaid services.
