This fall, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) approved innovative 1115 waivers for Arizona, Massachusetts and Oregon, authorizing new financing and programmatic flexibilities for delivering services that address health-related social needs (HRSNs). Through these waivers, CMS both approved new services and articulated a new framework for how it would consider waivers seeking to implement HRSN initiatives moving forward.

In a new webinar, Manatt will moderate a panel of state leaders from Arizona, Massachusetts and Oregon providing key insights into the HRSN approval process—and real-world lessons for other states considering their own HRSN investments. Click here to register free. Key topics will include:

• The evolution of Medicaid financing to address HRSN that led to the new CMS framework for HRSN waiver initiatives
• The similarities and differences in approaches that Arizona, Massachusetts and Oregon used to structure their HRSN investments
• Guidance for other states seeking to design HRSN financing and system delivery
