About this Session:
In partnership with Health Tech 4 Medicaid
Medicaid sits at the epicenter of the nation’s chronic disease burden, serving a disproportionate share of people living with diabetes, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, behavioral health conditions, and complex multi-morbidities—often shaped by housing instability, food insecurity, caregiving strain, and limited access to preventive care. Yet across the country, care and payment structures remain largely reactive, intervening after conditions worsen rather than supporting sustained health earlier in the disease trajectory.
This fireside chat will bring together federal leaders to explore how national innovation models are reshaping chronic disease care and advancing more proactive, coordinated systems of care. The conversation will spotlight initiatives such as ACCESS and TEMPO, examining how outcome-aligned payment models, regulatory flexibility, and real-world evidence pathways are being designed to strengthen care coordination, improve outcomes for populations with complex medical and social needs, and support more sustainable, value-driven approaches across the Medicaid landscape. Together, speakers will discuss how federal leadership, data-driven innovation, and community-centered infrastructure can help move Medicaid beyond reactive care toward earlier intervention, prevention, and more equitable chronic care for the communities it serves.
