Food for Thought: Medicaid 101

Medicaid 101 will break down how Texas Medicaid works—from how four million Texans get covered to the role managed care plays in delivering care, controlling costs, and protecting taxpayer dollars. Attendees will get a straightforward look at where Medicaid funding comes from, where the money goes, and how the system works in practice.

Speaker: Jamie Dudensing, President & CEO, Texas Association of Health Plans

Lunch will be catered and served at 11:30 a.m, with the presentation beginning at noon.
