Medicaid Resources for Pediatric Department Leadership
As Medicaid policies continue to evolve, staying informed is essential. For many children’s hospitals and pediatric departments, Medicaid represents a significant portion of overall funding.
The AMSPDC Medicaid Education Series—developed in collaboration with AAAP—is tailored for department chairs and administrators. It aims to strengthen understanding of Medicaid structure, financing, and payment, providing the foundational knowledge needed to make informed decisions and advocate effectively on behalf of your departments and patients.
To further support pediatric leadership, we are compiling a curated—though not comprehensive—bibliography of Medicaid resources from trusted organizations. We encourage you to explore these materials as part of your ongoing learning, and we will continue to update and expand the collection.
