Access & Equity in Medicaid: Robust Primary Care is a Must

Do you want to improve access to high-value health care for rural and underserved communities? Experts will discuss key primary care payment and delivery strategies in Medicaid to enhance outcomes and equity. Their remarks will key off a new PCC report that examines proven and promising practices for strengthening primary care in Medicaid, which is also informed by a diverse, expert committee convened by PCC. This effort, supported by a grant from the California Health Care Foundation, will help to inform future Better Health – NOW Medicaid policies.
