This includes topics such as HCBS implementation, the transition to Value Based Payments and the children’s system transformation just to name a few. MCTAC+ focuses on smaller, more intimate events so that providers have an opportunity to ask questions specific to their organization’s transition to Medicaid Managed Care. Partners will provide regional workshops and trainings related to Medicaid transformation, infrastructure development and other topics in the form of webinars, videos, online learning opportunities and learning communities. We also deliver a monthly newsletter which highlights events of interest and pertinent information on systems transitions. We would love to hear from you. Please contact us at mctacplus.info@nyu.edu today!
