Medicaid & Public Coverage

Synthesis:

Over the past 24 hours, there has been little direct movement in federal Medicaid or public coverage policy impacting value-based care; most recent coverage, such as KFF Health News' focus on urgent care abortion access and doula payment, addresses specific service delivery and equity questions rather than payment reform or transformation of public programs Urgent care clinics, doulas, and public plan design. No substantive CMS or HHS actions, signals, or new payment model announcements relevant to ACOs, Medicaid managed care, or population health management have been reported in this timeframe.
