| Hello,
Health and Medicine Policy Research Group (HMPRG) would like to thank those
who were able to participate in the Illinois Medicaid 1115 Waiver Stakeholder
Engagement meetings last week. Hundreds of stakeholders joined this
conversation both in-person and remotely to hear about and weigh-in on t
ransforming Illinois’ Medicaid system. You can review Health Management
Associates’ (HMA) slides from last week’s meetings here.
As a reminder, one of the most important ways that you and your organization
can be involved in this process is to submit written recommendations for
consideration of the 1115 Waiver application, based on the concept paper.
Here are more details:
If you are interested in providing ideas that can help shape the goals
and strategies of the waiver, we invite you to submit written
recommendations (no more than 5 pages of double spaced text per
organization) to HMPRG at info@hmprg.org, using the subject line
“1115 Waiver”, by the 5:00 p.m. on November 25, 2013.
HMPRG will summarize the written recommendations for consideration by state
leaders and the HMA staff preparing the application. You do NOT need to have
been at the November 14th meetings to submit written comments. There will be
a second opportunity for stakeholder response after the application draft has been
developed.

HMPRG will send out additional information for the next stakeholder engagement
opportunity as soon as we have confirmed details. Please send questions and
concerns regarding this process to info@HMPRG.org or call 312-372-4292.

Thank you once again for being a part of the Illinois Medicaid 1115 Waiver process! |
