Executive Summary
Since 1986, the Advocate’s Guide to the Medicaid Program has been the leading authoritative reference on Medicaid law. The Guide provides easy-to-understand statements of what Medicaid law requires and, in supporting notes, gives in-depth treatment for each statement of law.
Advocates, policymakers, and others rely on the Guide to ensure that the Medicaid program is implemented as the law intends and that eligible low-income people can access the services that Medicaid provides.
Covering Medicaid administration, eligibility, and services, the fifth edition of the Guide is now on sale in print and digital versions. It incorporates all of the major developments in Medicaid law through mid-2024, including significant changes to the Medicaid Act, implementing regulations, and guidance from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, as well as federal and state case law.
As renewed threats to Medicaid emerge, this Guide remains a critical resource for advocates, attorneys, and policymakers dedicated to protecting Medicaid and safeguarding access to care for low-income individuals. Its comprehensive analysis and up-to-date insights will empower those on the frontlines to defend this vital program and ensure it continues to meet the needs of millions of individuals and families across the United States.
The Guide is available in print and digital versions, but there is a limited initial print run, so order while supplies last! Learn more and access the Guide at https://medicaidguide.org.
