This presentation focused on the data available to monitor access to care for Medicaid beneficiaries across three domains–provider availability and accessibility, beneficiary use of services and beneficiary perceptions and experiences. This session provided an overview of existing data, gaps in data, and possible approaches to address those gaps based on findings from a literature review and key stakeholder interviews.
The Commission also heard from experts who provided additional insights on improving the approach to access monitoring:
- Dr. Genevieve Kenney, Co-Director and Senior Fellow in the Health Policy Center at the Urban Institute
- Dr. Joseph Caldwell, Director of the Community Living Policy Center at Brandeis University
- Barry Cambron, Deputy Commissioner, Health Systems at the Alabama Medicaid Agency
