Join us for an in-depth webinar on the latest guidance from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) regarding Medicaid and CHIP services for youth detained in public institutions. Effective January 1, 2025, these mandated changes, stemming from the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, require states to amend their Medicaid and CHIP plans to provide essential medical, dental and case management services for eligible youth, before and after release. Learn how these changes will impact county jails and how counties can collaborate with state health officials to ensure compliance and secure federal support.

  • Hon. Phyllis Randall, Chair, NACo Health Steering Committee, Loudoun County, Va. Supervisor
  • Jeff Locke, Senior Policy Advisor, Bureau of Justice Assistance, U.S. Department of Justice
