The Committee on Child Health Financing is excited to launch a new webinar series designed to exploring the role of Medicaid in the lives of children. Join us for our first webinar as we invite clinicians to come together and gain insights into foundational aspects of Medicaid, including its origin, financing, and how it impacts child health. Clinicians will learn essential concepts from experts in Medicaid and child health financing.
The goal of this session is to ensure that clinicians have the knowledge and skills necessary to care for children with Medicaid and advocate for Medicaid policies that best serve children and families.
The diverse range of topics in this session will include the following:
- Origin and History of Medicaid
- Basic Financing and Operation of Medicaid
- Varying Roles of Medicaid – Insurance, Income Support, Pediatric Support
