The Medicaid program, a partnership between the federal government and states, provides coverage to 80 million people in the United States, including children, pregnant people, disabled individuals, working-age adults , and senior citizens. Medicaid finances key population health services, including family planning, mental health, immunizations, preventive care, care coordination, and services that allow people with disabilities to be integrated into their communities. Medicaid is increasingly addressing structural determinants of health through evolving payment models. This course is designed to give students a deep understanding of the Medicaid program to enhance public health practice, clinical care delivery, health services research, and advocacy.
