Description: The 2014 preventive care regulation allowing state Medicaid programs to pay for services provided by non-licensed caregivers-so long as those services are recommended by a licensed clinician-widened the options for healthcare organizations, including insurance companies, to recruit workers from within high-need communities. Some state Medicaid programs pay for community health workers' services on a fee-for-service basis, in addition to through capitated payments. At least 12 other state Medicaid programs have followed the approach of authorizing public funds for payment of community health workers for a specific set of services, separate from Section 1115 waivers, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation report published this year. Contracts between payers and providers vary, and there is no specific rate that community health workers must be paid, according to a state Department of Health Care Services spokesperson.
