In this session, the Health and Reentry Project (HARP) will facilitate a panel that will highlight ongoing changes to Medicaid that have important impacts on jails across the country, including recent statutory changes. It will then turn to a facilitated discussion with Sheriffs and jail leadership who will identify how their facilities have met new requirements and how HARP’s work has supported their efforts. This conversation will focus on the operational realities of implementing these changes as well as the potential public safety implications of these changes.

The session will begin with a HARP overview of the state of Medicaid in corrections, including explaining new Medicaid suspension requirements for jails and updates on the status of ongoing work on 1115 reentry waivers and the youth continuity of care requirements. Then, the panelists (to be determined) will discuss their experiences operationalizing changes to meet these new requirements, how these changes have improved public safety and health outcomes, and the operational importance of these changes for their jails. Where relevant, panelists will discuss how support from HARP to their agencies helped them succeed. The panelist conversation will be followed by questions and answers.

HARP is a nonprofit organization that provides no-cost technical assistance to jails across the county to better leverage Medicaid to support reentry.
