Recruiting state Medicaid programs for our 2024 cohort
Our third cohort seeks to identify scalable solutions to close gaps in social needs for Medicaid beneficiaries.
Overview
MIC aims to improve the health and wellbeing of individuals on Medicaid by connecting the ecosystem to tech-enabled innovations. The upcoming 2024 cohort will enable state Medicaid programs, their managed care plans, and other key stakeholders to identify and implement solutions to address the health related social needs of Medicaid beneficiaries. Those selected from the Application Review process will have the opportunity to pitch their solution directly to Medicaid directors, managed care plans, community members, and other stakeholders for potential contract opportunities.
About the 2024 Social Determinants of Health Focus
Innovative strategies and solutions are needed to successfully address the health-related social needs of Medicaid beneficiaries. As disparities have remained unchanged over decades, solutions must overcome the social, economic, and environmental disadvantages outlined in the research, with the goal of equitable access and outcomes. MIC partners with states, MCOs, and entrepreneurs to and identify, evaluate and pilot solutions that effectively address beneficiary social needs, including:
- Food and Nutrition Security
- Housing Affordability and Quality
- Transportation Security
- Economic Stability (Education + Employment)
- Navigation of Health and Social Services
- SDOH Data and Infrastructure
