For the first time, I had the opportunity to attend the annual Medicaid Enterprise Systems Conference (MESC) in Chicago, and it was a great experience!

When I attended my first Medicaid Enterprise Systems Conference (MESC) in 2013, I had the privilege to be part of a panel with the State of Michigan. At that time, I was relatively new to the state Medicaid world as well as netlogx. As I think about the similarities and differences between MESC 2013 and [...]
To streamline processes and ensure proper management, it’s very beneficial to have an outside vendor perform a state’s Medicaid Information Technology Architecture (MITA) State Self-Assessment (SS-A), compile documents, and track information.
