Join us for the latest episode of RISE Radio, our podcast series that focuses on issues that impact policies, regulations, and challenges faced by health care professionals responsible for quality and revenue, Medicare member acquisition and experience, and/or social determinants of health.
Errol Pierre, senior vice president of state programs at Healthfirst, the largest nonprofit health plan in New York, joins us for the latest episode of RISE Radio, our podcast series that focuses on issues that impact policies, regulations, and challenges faced by health care professionals responsible for quality and revenue, Medicare member acquisition and experience, and/or social determinants of health.
Pierre will be a featured speaker at RISE’s Medicaid Managed Care Leadership Summit, a virtual event, that will take place April 2-3. The virtual summit will explore how Medicaid managed care organizations can provide quality care to high-risk populations, connect with hard-to-reach patients, and ensure their financial viability.
During this 22-minute podcast, Pierre offers his thoughts on the end of the continuous enrollment provision, how to educate members about the recertification process, and his concerns about the impact on health of members who can’t be reached and drop off Medicaid.
