Hospital at Home Users Group Webinar: Hospital at Home, Medicaid, and Equity - Lessons from Three States
The Hospital at Home Users Group, in partnership with the American Academy of Home Care Medicine, is hosting a webinar on September 19, "Hospital at Home, Medicaid, and Equity: Lessons from Three States."
In addition to the CMS Acute Hospital Care at Home waiver, programs are turning to other payers, notably state Medicaid programs, to expand their reach and make Hospital At Home (HaH) more accessible to low-income patients.
The webinar will feature speakers from three states – Illinois, Massachusetts, and North Carolina – that are in different stages of advancing Medicaid coverage for HaH services. Each panelist brings a unique perspective as a clinician, payer, or advocate and will describe their states’ experience with expanding Medicaid coverage for HaH. Panelists will address how HaH programs have adapted to this coverage, and how working with Medicaid is promoting greater health equity.
Speakers include:
- Mary Barthel, MD, MHCM, FACP, SFHM, Chief Quality & Safety Officer, Blessing Health System
- Charles Pu, MD, FACP, CMD, Senior Medical Director, Office of Long-Term Services and Supports, MassHealth ForHealth Consulting, UMass Chan Medical School
- Miriam Tardif-Douglin, MSPH, Senior Manager, Research and Policy, CaroNova
- Moderator: Albert Siu, MD, MSPH, Chair Emeritus, Brookdale Department of Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
