CHW Solutions

Supplement of the Journal of General Internal Medicine

CHW Solutions Co-Founders and Medical Director worked with colleagues at the University of Chicago to author an article in the March 2023 supplement of the Journal of General Internal Medicine. The article is a case study of CHW Solutions’ experiences providing CHW services for Medicaid recipients and billing health plans. The case study shares lessons learned and recommendations for billing Medicaid for Community Health Worker services. This work was a collaboration with the Minneapolis Health Department funded by the Merck Foundation.
