MIC’s goal is to identify and implement private-sector innovations that will improve health equity in Medicaid.

Our Approach

MIC has developed a sourcing and selection process that engages state, managed care, and community stakeholders in defining a health equity goal, identifying and assessing vendors that support these goals, and supporting the consideration and implementation of these vendors to ensure these solutions are sticky, scalable, and deliver impact.

The Medicaid Innovation Collaborative is a unique opportunity for these three participating states and their MCOs to identify innovative challenges and set a strategy to solve them. As a cohort, our programs have common needs and, through this collaborative, can leverage common solutions."
