Medicaid leaders may soon face the challenge of rethinking policies created during the COVID-19 public health emergency, which is currently set to expire in October.

She is joined by Tara LeBlanc, Medicaid executive director at the Louisiana Department of Health; Henry Lipman, Medicaid director at the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services; and Ed O’Neil, principal at O’Neil & Associates, a management consulting and leadership development firm focused on change and renewal in the health care system.
