Future of Medicaid Innovation Forum 2024

Reflecting on 2024’s impactful “Future of Medicaid Innovation Forum,” we witnessed a mosaic of human experiences, a convergence of visions, and a shared sense of purpose. With over 400 attendees present and hundreds more online, the event sparked introspection on the future of Medicaid in 2024.

Under the theme of ‘Medicaid Futurism,’ the event emphasized the importance of every voice in shaping a healthcare future that is innovative, equitable, and inclusive. Participants were urged to join the movement for radical change, contributing stories, visions, and ideas to forge a healthcare system that reflects the diverse needs and dreams of its community. The call to action is clear: Together, let’s redefine the future of Medicaid and be part of a transformative journey that starts now, with each of us.

Future of Medicaid Innovation Forum 2023

If you were among the hundreds in-person and over 500 online attendees at our 6th annual “Future of Medicaid Innovation Summit” on January 10, you heard the charge for 2023: HealthTech 4 Medicaid (HT4M) is on a mission to intentionally disrupt patterns of inequity, leading to the crumbling and transformation of existing systems! Our goal is to rebuild more equitable ones globally. At this year’s forum, we showcased radical change and steps to create a quality, equitable, and accessible healthcare experience for Medicaid members nationwide, with a special emphasis on disruption. And with the end of the Public Health Emergency approaching, we face the challenge of redetermining nearly 90+ million people on Medicaid, ensuring their continued coverage. Millions of lives are at stake, and we must buckle together to disrupt determinants, dignity, and dollars.

Future of Medicaid Innovation Forum 2020

On January 14th, 2020, Health Tech for Medicaid (HT4M) curated a morning session of experts and innovators highlighting those making bold moves in Medicaid. Medicaid is a joint state-federal health insurance program that covers one in five Americans—including elderly and disabled individuals, and 40% of all U.S. kids.

This event was a joint-led effort to learn about new strategies, share perspectives and stories of innovating better healthcare to people who are being served by Medicaid and underscoring the importance of technology-enabled innovation in building better options to higher quality and lower cost care. We aim to create a collective movement with experts, innovators, decision-makers and advocates around the state of Medicaid, the future of Medicaid and the tools in making a difference for the millions of people dependent on Medicaid.
