Commonwealth Medicine’s primary focus is to help Medicaid and other human service agencies accomplish their missions. As the health care consulting and operations division of UMass Chan Medical School, we draw on the academic knowledge and public health service expertise of Massachusetts’s only public medical school to provide comprehensive, innovative health care and policy solutions. Our services and expertise help state and federal agencies and other health care organizations create and apply the health care solutions they need — from offering innovation on clinical, policy and financial challenges, to developing and administering entire programs serving vulnerable populations. With staff members who have worked in state and federal government as well as in the private sector, we have extensive experience working with federal oversight agencies. With our help, government agencies, nonprofits, and managed care organizations are able to meet today’s health care challenges — and are prepared for what’s to come. Commonwealth Medicine's public university–state agency model offers state agencies a unique approach to improving health care outcomes while controlling costs. Today our work has expanded to more than 20 states, as well as a number of countries.
