NASHP Hosts Webinar on EMS Post-Overdose Response Partnerships October 14
The National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP) will host a webinar on October 14, 2026, from 3:00–4:00 p.m. ET focused on expanding emergency medical services partnerships to reduce opioid deaths through post-overdose response strategies. The session will likely address how state Medicaid agencies and health plans can collaborate with EMS providers to implement follow-up interventions after overdose events. For states implementing Section 1115 substance use disorder waivers or managing behavioral health through Medicaid managed care, this webinar may provide operational models for care coordination and overdose prevention initiatives.
States with Medicaid Section 1115 SUD waivers and managed care organizations with delegated behavioral health responsibilities need concrete models for EMS integration and post-overdose follow-up to meet federal milestone requirements and reduce preventable deaths among Medicaid enrollees.
