In October, DC’s own Claudia Scholsberg, Senior Deputy and State Medicaid Director for DC Department of Health Care Finance presented on the FQHC Alternative Payment Methodology at a convening of MACPAC focused on Medicaid payment and FQHCs. The Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access Commission (MACPAC) was created in the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009, and is non-partisan legislative branch agency that provides policy and data analysis and makes recommendations to Congress, the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and the states on a wide array of issues affecting Medicaid and the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP).  The presentations at the October convening and the dialogue that followed focused on federal payment requirements regarding FQHCs, alternative payment methodologies that provide flexibility in payment and care delivery, and how FQHCs engage in value payment models.
