Who We Are
Our Mission
The Medicaid Innovation Collaborative (MIC) aims to improve the health and wellbeing of individuals on Medicaid by connecting the ecosystem to tech-enabled innovations.
In doing so, we believe we can change the way the Medicaid system addresses health inequities.
Health equity ensures that every individual has the means and opportunity to attain their full health potential and no one is disadvantaged from achieving this potential because of social position or other socially determined circumstances.

The Medicaid Innovation Collaborative (MIC) is a program of Acumen America, a non-profit impact investment firm focused on serving low-income communities throughout the United States by supporting innovators tackling issues of health, workforce development, and financial services.
Medicaid is at the core of Acumen America’s investment strategy, and MIC grew out of that work. The program leans into Acumen’s goal of systemic change and enables greater collaboration between Medicaid and the kinds of ventures Acumen supports.
