The ADA Council on Advocacy for Access and Prevention is hosting a virtual town hall Aug. 28 to discuss the ins and outs of Medicaid and the benefits of becoming a Medicaid provider.
The 90-minute educational session will highlight Medicaid champions who are capitalizing on the reforms made in state programs that expand access to care and showing legislators the impact of those reforms. The webinar is slated to start at 7 p.m. CT.
Goals of the program include initiating discussion and energizing members about the success of being a Medicaid provider; educating attendees on how the ADA is supporting increasing provider participation; and providing practical steps members can take to improve utilization and access to care.
Elizabeth Simpson, D.M.D., chair of the Council on Advocacy for Access and Prevention, encouraged anyone who is not currently a Medicaid provider to attend the webinar. Even for providers who do not want to accept any Medicaid patients, Dr. Simpson said, the discussion will still provide valuable insight.
