REGISTER HERE   Access to healthy and nutritious food is crucial to optimal health and well-being. In 2022, food insecurity impacted 13.5% of the population in the United States. Food insecurity – defined by the United States Department of Agriculture as the lack of access, at times, to enough food for an active, healthy life – is associated with a wide range of adverse physical and mental health outcomes. Ensuring food security is a critical element of comprehensive health care. Food is Medicine (FIM) programming including medically tailored meals, groceries, and food packages, and producing prescription programs are effective interventions to prevent and treat diet-related chronic conditions, improve food security, and promote health equity/social drivers of health. Additionally, research shows that this programming is associated with improved health, decreased healthcare utilization, and lower healthcare costs. Veterans’ Health Administration (VHA) currently has several FIM initiatives in place to address food insecurity in the Veteran population, most notably, the VHA Fresh Connect Produce Prescription pilot and the VHA Food Hub pilot. Partnering with donors, community and stakeholders is essential in addressing food security. Economic uncertainties with social drivers of health impact U.S. citizens daily.

REGISTER HERE   Hosted By: CMSA Atlanta Institutional Special Needs Plans (I-SNPs) represent a targeted and increasingly vital component of Medicare Advantage, specifically structured to support individuals who reside in long-term care facilities for 90 days or longer. These plans are designed to address the unique clinical, social, and functional needs of a medically complex and often underserved population. With the rise in value-based payment models and the ongoing transformation of eldercare delivery, I-SNPs are becoming a strategic pathway to deliver coordinated, cost-effective, and person-centered care. This session provides an exploration of I-SNPs from conceptual foundation to practical implementation. Attendees will examine eligibility criteria, enrollment considerations, and the various models of care delivery that make I-SNPs distinct from traditional Medicare and other managed care plans. The presentation will also dissect the business case for I-SNPs in skilled nursing and assisted living environments, including their potential to reduce avoidable hospitalizations, manage chronic conditions more effectively, and improve quality metrics that impact reimbursement.
