Members of the Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access Commission met last week in Washington, D.C.

During the commission’s deliberations, MACPAC’s staff made the following presentations to the commissioners:

MACPAC is a non-partisan legislative branch agency that provides policy and data analysis and makes recommendations to Congress, the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and the states on a wide variety of issues affecting Medicaid and the State Children’s Health Insurance Program.  Its deliberations are highly influential among policymakers and are especially important for community safety-net hospitals because those hospitals care for larger numbers and higher proportions of Medicaid and CHIP patients than the typical American hospital.
