In legislatures across the country, often only a handful of members are schooled in Medicaid’s complexities. While this knowledge is critical in helping to inform legislative decisions, no succession plan exists to replace the institutional knowledge of senior committee leaders. The Medicaid 101 policy academy educates and equips the next generation of legislators to provide appropriate oversight over state Medicaid programs. In 2021, CSG will convene its 10^th annual Medicaid policy academy for newly appointed legislators to health committees. Faculty will consist of seasoned health chairs and Medicaid directors as well as experts from health care industries and academia.
