You asked for more on data interoperability. We listened. 🗣️💡

At MHPA, our agenda is built for you—and by you. After reviewing the results of our June 11th poll, one theme stood out clear as day: our members urgently want strategies around modernizing data and interoperability across complex care systems.

We are thrilled to announce a highly anticipated session at MHPA26: "Seeing the Whole Child: Using Data and Integrated Care Models to Support Vulnerable Youth and Families."

Join us at the Grand Hyatt River Walk in San Antonio from September 28-30, 2026; to explore how managed care organizations and statewide partners are breaking down silos. We'll dive deep into shared care plans, cross-system care teams, and collaborative governance as critical infrastructure for vulnerable youth.

Thank you for shaping the future of Medicaid managed care with us. Your voice matters!

Did you know pediatric amblyopia affects approximately one child in every classroom, making it the leading cause of preventable vision loss in kids? Unfortunately, children covered by Medicaid often experience poorer outcomes and face greater barriers to successful care compared to their commercially insured peers.

Join MHPA President and CEO Craig Kennedy and Dr. Maanasa Indaram (UCSF) for a crucial webinar discussing these health disparities. We will explore why conventional standard-of-care treatments—like eye patching—are difficult for families and often fail to provide lasting results, especially for Medicaid populations. We will also introduce Luminopia, an innovative FDA-authorized treatment designed to address these unmet needs and improve outcomes for all children.

Targeted toward Medicaid MCO leaders dedicated to closing care gaps, this is Part One of a three-part series you won't want to miss.

On Wednesday, MHPA submitted a comment letter to CMS Administrator Dr. Oz and Deputy Administrator Daniel Brillman on the Medicaid Managed Care State Directed Payments and Medicaid Fee-for-Service Targeted Medicaid Practitioner Payments Proposed Rule.

Our letter articulates the concerns raised by our members that if finalized as proposed, the provisions will:

🔹 Reduce Medicaid payment flexibility

🔹 Threaten provider participation & network stability

🔹 Increase wait times

🔹 Limit access to care for Medicaid enrollees

MHPA’s letter outlines recommendations to safeguard enrollee access to care and preserve provider network stability in Medicaid.
