The beginning of a new year is a chance to reset. With the rapid pace of policy and funding changes, it’s hard to identify the best strategies to stay current. This session provides all the policy information needed to hit the reset button. Conferees will get timely updates around federal and state changes to Medicaid and public health and human service funding. Conferees will also hear the strategies and next steps for NC DHHS and Medicaid Plans to comply with policy and funding changes. This is a one-stop session that will help you to identify priorities for you and your organization.
