Professional Development: Career Paths In Health Policy

Health Affairs Editorial Board Member Katherine Baicker is a leading
scholar in the economic analysis of health policy.

She attained leadership positions at two of the most respected
university programs in health policy in the U.S., served on the
President's Council of Economic Advisers, was a principal investigator
of the landmark Oregon Health Insurance Experiment, and joined the board
of a major pharmaceutical company...all before the age of 45.

Health Affairs Senior Editor Leslie Erdelack will host Dr. Baicker on
May 4 for a conversation about her work, her influences, and the choices
she's made as she's climbed the ladder in the health policy world.

Date: Wednesday, May 4, 2022
Time: 3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. (Eastern)

Journal Club: In Medicaid Managed Care Networks, Care Is Highly
Concentrated Among A Small Percentage Of Physicians

The centerpiece of the Health Affairs Journal Club meeting in May is,
"In Medicaid Managed Care Networks, Care Is Highly Concentrated Among
A Small Percentage Of Physicians."

Using data from four states, Avital B. Ludomirsky and coauthors found
that, of those that contracted with Medicaid, on average just 25 percent
of primary care physicians provided 86 percent of care and 25 percent of
specialists provided 75 percent of care.

On top of that, the study confirmed that inadequate or outdated provider
directories vastly misrepresent the availability of care.

The result, the authors argue, is that current network adequacy
standards may not reflect actual access to the Medicaid program; and
that new methods that account for beneficiary preferences and physician
willingness to serve Medicaid patients are needed to enforce these
standards.

Please join Dr. Ludomirsky, a pediatrician and postdoctoral fellow at
the Yale School of Medicine, on May 17th for a detailed discussion of
the paper's data, methods, and conclusions. Health Affairs Senior
Editor Leslie Erdelack will host.

Date: Tuesday, May 17, 2022
Time: 4:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. (Eastern)
