Thursday, November 19, 2015, 1 to 2 p.m. EST — Medicaid enrollment and spending both rose nearly 14 percent in fiscal 2015 among 50 states and the District of Columbia, according to the 15th annual Medicaid budget survey from the Kaiser Family Foundation’s Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured (KCMU). Spending growth is expected to slow to 6.9 percent in fiscal 2016, while enrollment growth slows to 4 percent, the study projects.

What’s driving these trends, and what are states doing to improve healthcare quality while controlling costs? That’s the topic of this webinar from Health Management Associates, which works with KCMU each year to conduct the survey. HMA Managing Principals Eileen Ellis, Kathy Gifford, and Vern Smith will outline key findings from the budget survey and discuss what it all means for the future of Medicaid.
