Guam Receives National Award for Medicaid IT System Modernization
Guam's Medicaid program received a national award for its innovative collaboration to modernize its IT systems and operations. The recognition highlights the territory's approach to upgrading its Medicaid infrastructure. The award comes from the National Association of Medicaid Directors.
Why it mattersTerritorial Medicaid programs run on small budgets and capped federal funding, so modernizing eligibility and claims systems is a large undertaking. Guam's approach is a reference point for other territories and small states planning similar upgrades.
