Webinar: The Intersection of Medicaid Managed Care and School-Based Services

May 23rd, 2024
3:00 PM – 4:00 PM ET

State Medicaid Agencies (SMAs) are invited to join Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the U.S. Department of Education (ED) on May 16th, 2024, for a webinar. This webinar will explore how State Medicaid Agencies (SMAs) can work with their managed care plans (MCPs) to improve access to and quality of school-based services. We will explain how MCPs and local education authorities (LEAs) can partner to ensure delivery of high-quality SBS to children enrolled in Medicaid and CHIP and describe how these partnerships can benefit MCPs, LEAs, and SMAs. We will also discuss the role of the SMA in helping to establish contractual language that promotes collaboration between MCPs and LEAs. Finally, we will hear from states that have embarked on this work and who will discuss facilitators, barriers, and lessons learned.

SMA staff are the intended audience for this webinar, however, SEA and LEA staff are welcome and may also benefit from attending this session.
