Overall summary of event

February 4, 2024

St. Petersburg Marriot, FloridaThe February 2024 Mostly Medicaid Ideas Workshop was a huge success, convening executives from multiple state HHS agencies, Medicaid plans, and solution providers.

Highlights from the Feb. 2024 MostlyMedicaid Ideas Workshop

MostlyMedicaid convened more than 2 dozen HHS leaders from across the country to facilitate a robust discussion on key trends and challenges in our Medicaid space. The workshop used a combination of national trends discussion and group surveys to create a “true public square.”

Kris Vilamaa and Clay Farris of MostlyMedicaid covered key national trends related to the state and federal policy landscape and technology in Medicaid. Surveys of the group touched on several key topics, including: The Medicaid / PHE unwinding in 2024, top state challenges, populations with the most need for support, Medicaid performance on quality measures, and coming state budget challenges.

According to Clay Farris, the discussion from these MM Ideas Workshop is a critical part of improving the Medicaid program: “I think the Ideas Workshop was a clear indication of the need I think the Ideas Workshop was a clear indication of the need to have a true dialogue on many things in our Medicaid industry. The level of engagement in these discussions is extremely high, and its amazing what gets surfaced when smart people are just given the floor to talk. Kris and I provide a limited structure to make sure its helpful, but beyond that the resulting ideas are truly sourced from the execs and thought leaders in the room.”

Following the group discussion, Workshop attendees were treated to a discussion of Medicaid LTSS from one of the most impactful leaders in our space- Carol Steckel. Carol shared insights from her career as a Medicaid director in multiple states, as well as experiences working with PACE programs.

Resolutions from the Workshop included:

1. Build a habit on our teams of envisioning an actual member during our policy and solution discussions within our organizations. Ask – “whats the impact,” and “how will they experience this?”

2. Work to identify un-necessary training or cert requirements that may be hidden burdens on the already-strained workforce.

3. Work to think of the service array / benefits for the same member populations as more consistent (instead of dependent on payer source). While we identified this as a moonshot, it was generally agreed as very important.

About the MostlyMedicaid Ideas Workshop

=====================

The MostlyMedicaid Ideas Workshop is a unique series of gatherings designed to create a “true public square.” The modern Medicaid industry has been over-run with vendors and consultants who are all saying the same things (that just so happen to align with their solutions). But there is a growing number of people in this space who want a space to talk more broadly, and across stakeholder groups. Thats why we created the one-of-a-kind MostlyMedicaid Ideas Workshop. Our unique ability to convene stakeholders from our 10,000-strong audience of Medicaid professionals allows us to fill this gap. The MM Ideas Workshops combine Medicaid SME with a passion for building dialogue. Attendees include C-Suite executives from HHS agencies, Medicaid health plans, and solution provider organizations. Participation is by invite-only and is kept anonymous.

3 tips for Medicaid Health Plans on Inviting Solution Vendors to Your Next RFP

Many of our clients are health plan professionals working in the health and human services space (including Medicaid plans and Medicare Advantage plans). The article below is based on our experience working with health plan staff who have succeeded in improving vendor management and procurement activities.

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Intended Readers: Medicaid Health Plan vendor management teams and executives

Tip 1: Invite more than you need

Its always good to have options. You should try to have at least two very strong candidates make it past the initial evaluation period. And in order to do that, you probably need at least 4 bidders to submit a proposal. And in order to have that many proposals, you probably need to invite 5 or 6 bid. Invite specific vendors you have initially vetted (versus a broad open call) when possible. This will mean more work on the front end of your procurement effort, but will lead to stronger proposals and more interested vendors.

Tip 2: Rely on references from your health plan peers

Your number one asset in this process is other health plans who have done business with the bidders. In the Medicaid space, most plan staff are less concerned about competition (except during MCO contract award cycles) and are more concerned about improving the delivery of services in the Medicaid program. Don’t be shy about asking your contacts in other plans for their opinion on vendors.

  Tip 3: Hold a 1 on 1 pre-invitation discussion with each vendor

Remember your goal is high quality proposals. In order to provide those, vendors need to understand as much as they can about your goals for the project. In addition to the normal group Q&A call offered to vendors, consider offering 1 on 1 discussions to make sure vendors are aligned with your vision for the project. The number of vendors interested will dictate how much time you invest in this step. Its also recommended to conduct this part of the process with another trusted external consultant if possible. This step will minimize confusion over goals and scope before proposals are submitted, without adding even more workload to your operational staff.

How to get started implementing these tips

We assist clients with each of these strategies, and are happy to have a conversation anytime. If our services and expertise are a fit for your needs as you develop or execute your strategy, engaging with us is a simple process. If we are not the right fit, we are happy to make a referral to another firm who may be.

Knowing what to do is only the first step. Knowing how to implement these tips with your current team amid many other priorities is more complex.  Here are a few other pointers on improving your options for your next vendor procurement:

  1. Create a short list of invitees and gauge interest with them before executing your full procurement effort– List the three vendors that immediately come to mind, and have a half hour exploratory discussion with a small group from their team. This can help you rapidly identify any key changes or clarification needed to your requested project scope without the extensive resource cost of an RFI.  
  2. Assign an existing team member to own the procurement effort from a project management perspective OR hire an external consultant to focus on the effort- If your project is not too large, or not too complex, you can assign a team member to drive key work items that are often overlooked like scheduling and action item management.  

MostlyMedicaid: We can help.
