This paper introduces a number of existing Medicaid policy instruments and explains how to use them more effectively for programs and providers dedicated to serving CMC. Because Medicaid programs are so variable across the nation, we also provide a diagnostic approach to understanding each state’s Medicaid policy and service delivery system environment. Finally, we offer strategies of different scale to demonstrate how to change policy incrementally from the targeted to transformative.

The federal Advancing Care for Exceptional (ACE) Kids Act became law in 2019 and aims to provide access to a high quality, well-coordinated system of care for children with medical complexity (CMC) and their families. This policy brief describes the background on the need for the ACE Kids legislation and outlines three benefits for states that choose to implement it.
