Project For Reducing Ineffective Medicaid Expenditures (PRIME) Policy Briefs

The Center for Evidence-based Policy is excited to announce the results from its Project for Reducing Ineffective Medicaid Expenditures. Focused on 4 services in 2 focus areas, the resulting briefs explore and quantify low-value care in Medicaid. They also provide state-specific data and a roadmap for states interested in taking action.

Funded by Arnold Ventures, this project aims to revitalize efforts to address low-value care in Medicaid by leveraging the Center’s expertise in evidence review, policy analysis, and data.

The briefs are linked below:

High-Complexity Genetic Testing

Expanded Respiratory Panel Testing and Unspecified Infection Panel Testing
