After attending this event, participants will be able to identify the steps to identify social risk factors that could be incorporated into a payment model, understand the process a state Medicaid program can use to add social risk to medical complexity, and be able to approach their payers about the need to add social risk to payment models in their states and ways to do so.

This meeting focuses on implementing strategies to identify patients for payment for care coordination.
