ForHealth Consulting Team Attends MESC 2024 Conference and Presents TPL Strategies

ForHealth Consulting recently participated in the Medicaid Enterprise Systems Conference (MESC) in Louisville, Kentucky. MESC is a national conference and community for state, federal, and private sector individuals to exchange ideas related to Medicaid systems and health policy supported by those systems.

ForHealth Consulting was part of a presentation with state partners, “Crossing the Enrollment Finish Line: Increasing TPL Benefits in Massachusetts and Michigan.” In this session, Massachusetts and Michigan Medicaid programs shared Third Party Liability (TPL) data analytics and enrollment support strategies developed in collaboration with ForHealth Consulting to increase enrollment for Medicaid members in Medicare, TRICARE/CHAMPVA, and employer-sponsored insurance, expanding benefits for members and cost avoidance and recovery opportunities for states.
