On Friday, December 3, 2021, you are invited to
joinHealth Affairs Editor-in-Chief Alan Weil for the next installment of our Policy Spotlight series, featuring Daniel Tsai, Deputy Administrator & Director of the Center for Medicaid & CHIP Services (CMCS) at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). At CMS, Mr. Tsai leads
the Center in addressing disparities in health equity and serving the needs of more than 80 million individuals and families who rely on these programs. He recently co-authored, “A Strategic Vision for Medicaid And The Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP),” for the Health Affairs blog with CMS Administrator Chiquita Brooks-LaSure, where they laid out a proactive policy agenda for CMCS focused on three key areas: coverage and access; equity; and innovation and whole-person care.
Before joining CMS, Tsai was the Assistant Secretary for MassHealth and Medicaid Director for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, serving for six years—the state's longest-serving Medicaid director in nearly two decades. His
tenure focused on building a robust and sustainable Medicaid program to ensure equitable coverage and improve how health care is delivered for two million individuals and families in the state. Tsai also helped lead Massachusetts Medicaid through its most significant restructuring since the 1990s through its landmark 2016 Medicaid 1115 waiver.
