Medicare and Medicaid have reshaped health care for millions of Americans since their inception 50 years ago. Research has played an important role as the programs, and the needs of those they serve, have evolved, helping to address program challenges and seize opportunities to improve care for the people served.
Mathematica has been proud to partner with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services since 1976, studying these important health care programs and identifying opportunities to make them as effective and efficient as possible.
On this 50th anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid, watch our new video for just a few examples of our contributions over time.
