Managed long-term services and supports (MLTSS) are emerging as essential lifelines for transformation, having significant impact on the Medicaid landscape nationwide.

Former state Medicaid Director and current Sellers Dorsey Managing Director, Suzanne Bierman, explores the positive impact of MLTSS programs on Medicaid and how they can serve as innovative solutions to improve health outcomes, reduce costs, and enhance quality of care.
