Landscape study and actuarial analysis in the state of Texas
16 February 2023
As there is growing recognition that health outcomes and healthcare costs are impacted by nonmedical factors, particularly in lower-income populations, an increasing number of states are finding ways to address these factors through their state Medicaid programs. Episcopal Health Foundation recently commissioned Milliman to complete a landscape study of the various approaches state Medicaid programs are using to address nonmedical drivers of health. Our report covers the following:
- Approaches in terms of program design considerations
- Body of evidence
- State-specific profiles
- Analysis of target populations and cost drivers
This report was commissioned by the Episcopal Health Foundation.
