At a recent meeting of the Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access Commission (MACPAC), the agency’s staff made a presentation on how different states are pursuing value-based purchasing in their Medicaid programs.

The presentation focused on current efforts in three states: Connecticut, Maryland, and Oklahoma, describing the policy approach those states have taken, the models they employ, the implementation challenges they have faced, and how they evaluate the effectiveness of their efforts.

Because they care for so many Medicaid patients, the nation’s private safety-net hospitals have a special interest in new approaches to Medicaid payment policy.
