This week, our In Focus section reviews highlights and shares key takeaways from the 16th annual Medicaid Budget Survey conducted by the Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured (KCMU). Survey results were released on October 13, 2016, in three new reports: “Medicaid Enrollment & Spending Growth: FY 2016 & 2017,” “Implementing Coverage and Payment Initiatives: Results from a 50-State Medicaid Budget Survey for State Fiscal Years 2016 and 2017,” and “Putting Medicaid in the Larger Budget Context: An In-Depth Look at Four States in FY 2016 and FY 2017.” The reports were prepared by Vernon K. Smith, Ph.D., Kathleen Gifford, Eileen Ellis, and Barbara Edwards from HMA and by Robin Rudowitz, Elizabeth Hinton, Larisa Antonisse, and Allison Valentine from the Kaiser Family Foundation. HMA’s Pat Casanova, Sarah Jagger, and Dennis Roberts also contributed. The survey was conducted in collaboration with the National Association of Medicaid Directors.
