Sellers Dorsey Proudly Supports the Medicaid Health Plans of America
Our experts are former Medicaid and human services officials from across the country, so we know what it takes for health plans to become highly valued partners in the eyes of Medicaid directors. As consultants, these leaders work with Medicaid plans large and small, vendors that supply essential tools, and stakeholders who are critical to the success of any initiative.
Together we can move Medicaid and managed care forward to meet the challenges of today and opportunities ahead.
With the majority of states at or above 75% of their Medicaid beneficiaries enrolled in managed care, health plan partners are expected to implement innovative approaches, achieve program efficiencies, and improve overall health care outcomes. The COVID-19 public health emergency added speed to the demand for expanded access and ways to address complex health-related social needs.
With the right support, you can move in lock step with state priorities that drive system enhancements, helping you navigate procurements, avoid pitfalls, identify trends, and leverage the latest effective practices.
Our people are not just subject matter experts with great connections and years of experience running Medicaid programs and health plans. They’re also doers who share your mission and roll up their sleeves to make sure your initiatives achieve impact.
More states want to address overall population health and health inequities through a community-based care ecosystem.
