New Hampshire Medicaid-Public Health Partnership Model Offers Lessons for State Integration Efforts
The National Association of Medicaid Directors published a case study on New Hampshire's approach to integrating Medicaid and public health operations. The partnership focuses on intentional collaboration, aligned priorities, and sustained leadership engagement between state Medicaid and public health agencies to improve population health outcomes. The case study provides operational lessons for other states seeking to strengthen coordination between their Medicaid programs and public health departments, addressing a growing priority as states work to address social determinants of health and prevention through Medicaid financing.
State Medicaid agencies increasingly use managed care contracts and waiver authority to fund public health interventions, making operational alignment with public health departments essential for implementing population health strategies and maximizing federal match opportunities.
