About AMMS
Altarum Medicare-Medicaid Services for States (AMMS) is a nonprofit organization that helps states create financially sustainable solutions to advance health, health equity, wellness, and independent living for dually eligible individuals. We enhance state capacity by providing exceptional national expertise around dual eligible and long-term services and supports (LTSS) policy and program administration. Our state-specific, data-driven approaches improve health equity and outcomes while efficiently managing Medicaid dollars.
Learn more about AMMS through the opportunity we address, our approach to working with states, our impact to date, our experts who drive success, and our news and insights.
Sarah Barth, Executive Director, AMMS, says, “States value working with AMMS not only because we have on-the-ground implementation and policy expertise, but also because we sit down with the states and their teams and really listen to what they are wrestling with. We help them identify solutions and then bolster and grow internal capacity to grow and support these programs.”
She further explains, “States also benefit from the experience of knowledge sharing; they hear what is and is not working in other states, not just about policy, but about states’ ‘on the ground experiences’ working with a population which is dually eligible.”
