This interactive session bridges research and real-world practice. After a quick primer on new Medicaid reentry reforms (CAA 2023, 1115 waivers), participants will work in teams to solve a fictional youth reentry case, identify implementation barriers, and design practical micro-solutions. Using a mini-design sprint and group "pitch session," attendees will leave equipped with actionable strategies and a visual roadmap to strengthen coverage, coordination, and continuity of care for justice-involved youth.

Educational Objectives

• Describe key Medicaid policy reforms affecting youth reentry and continuity of care
• Analyze real-world barriers and opportunities to implement reentry reforms
• Design practical micro-solutions that strengthen coordination between detention, Medicaid, and community providers
