Medicare and Medicaid

Our Vision:
The unbridled escalation of health care cost is the most serious economic threat our nation faces in the decades ahead. Without any changes in current law, Medicare and Medicaid spending will nearly double in the next 10 years to over $1.7 trillion annually. The increasing pressure on these programs demands a renewed commitment to applying innovative health care delivery solutions that improve quality at a lower cost. Greater value requires greater access and accountability than current programs provide. Technology plays a critical role in expanding access and accountability.

The modernization of Medicare and Medicaid should be a joint enterprise between the public and private sectors. Progress will require both sectors to understand and appreciate the knowledge, needs, and capability of the other. Currently, there is a gap between the public and private sectors; both sectors must work together to effect positive change. Bridges are built from both ends at the same time. We can respond to current challenges by working collaboratively to solve on of the most serious economic challenges of our time.

Our Team:
Members of the Leavitt Partners team have experience in running Medicare and Medicaid nationally, as well as applied experience in the private sector. They are committed to bridging the gaps between both sectors. Members of the Leavitt Partners team have helped staff health policy in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and state Medicaid programs. We understand the programs, the people who run them and the needs of those who rely upon them. Leavitt Partners is eminently qualified to assist health care delivery systems, payers, and policy makers in navigating the future.
