  • State Use of Medicaid Funding Mechanisms for Community Health Workers: Implications for Rural Populations
    Community health workers (CHWs) serve on the frontlines of health care, with states increasingly leveraging various funding mechanisms for their services. This project will describe and compare state use of two Medicaid mechanisms—Section 1115 demonstration waivers and state plan amendments—to support CHW services, focusing on potential implications for rural populations.
