Rishabh Mehrotra is the CEO of SHPS and the lead author of the joint SHPS/CHT book “Making Medicaid Work” which was released in early 2007. Over 4,000 copies have been requested by policymakers in virtually every state. Rishabh argues that lessons from large, self-insured employers can and do apply to state Medicaid programs. Employers that actively manage risk, provide specific incentives for effective health behaviors, and embrace technology in their communications with employees saw the greatest decline in overall health spend.
