With the United States healthcare system becoming increasingly complex, the ability to navigate business decisions and drive influence in a fractured policy environment requires expertise. States have been eager to enact policy dictating how health care can be delivered, influencing what health care services and prescription drugs may cost, and how its reimbursement process should work.
The ever-evolving health policy landscape in states will continue to influence how health care organizations make business decisions. As this patchwork evolves, it’s more important than ever that health care entities have expertise at the intersection of business and policy, and an understanding of how best to influence a state’s unique policymaking process.
MultiState’s team understands the issues and knows the key players and organizations — and we harness that expertise to help our clients effectively navigate and engage on their policy priorities. We offer customized strategic solutions to help you develop and execute a proactive multistate agenda focused on your company’s goals. Our experts identify and monitor legislation to ensure your organization stays ahead of emerging trends. We regularly engage with state and local policymakers in each state and at a national level to help them understand the intricacies and minutia of our client’s needs. Our team is ready to work with you to provide an early warning system that identifies threats to your business and develop strategies and execute tactics to ensure you’re continually positioned for long-term success.
Every client receives legislative tracking services and analyst support. A MultiState expert will become your dedicated analyst, and you’ll receive regular and timely updates on newly introduced, moving, and enrolled legislation related to your key health policy issues.
MultiState can help you understand and analyze the legislation and policy that impacts your organization. Our team can provide assistance communicating policy impacts to your internal stakeholders, such as your executive team or members. We can also help navigate media inquiries related to your health care policy priorities.
MultiState can support your efforts to communicate your organization’s health care policy priorities externally. For example, we can create advocacy collateral such as lobbying leave-behinds, letters to lawmakers, presentation slides, legislative testimony, talking points, and position statements. We can support your direct public policy advocacy by writing white papers or media pieces, speaking at public policy conferences, testifying in state legislatures, or engaging with public policy groups. Or, if you need a more comprehensive solution, we can design and execute a full advocacy campaign to advance your health policy goals.
“States have always been at the forefront of driving transformation of health care. Since the Affordable Care Act, states are working at an unbridled pace to tackle increasingly unique barriers to health care access and delivery. We help clients navigate and understand each state’s distinct health policy landscape, identify what directly impacts business operations, and tailor strategies to maximize influence in the policy conversation.”

“The complex web of patients, payors, and providers has been further complicated by each state’s nuanced approach to health policy. For many businesses this has led to putting out fires and dealing with crises, rather than being able to construct a multi-state, proactive plan of action. MultiState can assist with both real-time triage of immediate problems and long-term strategic planning of campaigns to prevent those problems from arising.”
