Delivering on the promise of greater choice and community inclusion for people with disabilities and older adults is more important than ever. But achieving and sustaining this vision takes work. Whether you are a state, federal agency, provider, or consumer, we’re here to help. Connect with us at the 2023 Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Conference, in Baltimore.
Mathematica’s team brings deep subject matter expertise on long-term services and supports (LTSS) and home and community-based services (HCBS). We’ve been at the forefront of LTSS policy changes for more than two decades, leading both the first and second national evaluations of the Money Follows the Person Demonstration for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and helping states agencies evaluate and improve LTSS delivery systems to better meet the needs of Medicaid beneficiaries.
Monitoring whether systems are delivering on the promise of greater choice and community integration is a complex endeavor. Mathematica’s primary expertise is in data and analytics, offering solutions with rigor and independence that rival or surpass any other firm in the HCBS or Medicaid market. Mathematica’s expertise spans HCBS services at the state and federal level, and we have experience in programs that address both the aging population, as well as programs that provide services for individuals with behavioral health needs or intellectual, developmental or physical disabilities. We have helped state clients with data analytics, Olmstead-focused advisory services, and approaches to measuring service and system quality. Mathematica’s staff also includes experts in HCBS-adjacent programs such as vocational rehabilitation, care integration for dual eligibles, and workforce development.
Together, these capabilities ensure that we’re generating a complete picture of LTSS consumer experience and system-level performance, and implementing processes that support continuous performance improvement.
