situated to support this function.
Through its work over the past 30 years,
NASHP has developed strong long-term
relationships with Medicaid Directors
and other key Medicaid officials and
staff (Deputy Directors, Managed Care
Bureau Chiefs, Medical Directors, and
child health staff), who represent the
key target populations necessary for
successful execution of this work.
NASHP works with state health
officials, including Medicaid agency
leaders and staff (e.g., Early and
Periodic Screening, Diagnostic, and
Treatment coordinators), to support
policy strategies that improve access to
care for the MCH population, which
represents the goal of these
supplemental funds. Additionally,
through the development of technical
assistance resources, NASHP has
demonstrated significant subject matter
expertise on public insurance financing
mechanisms to support maternal and
child health services, including home
visiting.
Consistent with HRSA–18–086, this
funding will benefit the state MCH
policymakers, MIECHV Program and
Title V Maternal and Child Health Block
Grant recipients, MCH populations, and
the general public, and include funding
for the recipient to:
• Engage multiple states and their key
health policymakers to implement
policy initiatives that will improve
access to home visiting services for their
MCH populations;
• Develop, implement, and evaluate
Medicaid financing policy initiatives in
collaboration with participating states;
• Convene key state-level and federal
health policymakers to support the
effective implementation of policy
initiatives; and
• Develop a plan to disseminate
reports, products, and/or project outputs
so project information is provided to
state-level policymakers and made
available to other stakeholders, as
appropriate.
