CMS’s Medicaid Innovation Accelerator Program (IAP) is hosting a webinar to introduce states to a new technical resource designed to help state Medicaid agencies with using Medicaid claims and encounters data to gather specific insights about the population of adult Medicaid beneficiaries who have a serious mental illness (SMI) in their state. This technical resource serves as a first step in assisting states with understanding key demographic attributes of this population, their use of Medicaid services, and their Medicaid service costs.

The webinar will be held on Thursday, September 6th, 3:00 pm-4:30 pm ET, and will feature an overview of the technical resource, example analyses, and a discussion with state Medicaid leaders from Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia who will share insights based on their experience conducting similar analyses. The strategies presented on this webinar will be of interest to state Medicaid agencies interested in developing data analytics to better understand their population with SMI.
