Individuals enrolled in Apple Health (Medicaid), Public Employees Benefits Board, and School Employees Benefits Board coverage - and those accessing behavioral health services - will not experience a disruption in care due to the federal government shutdown. In addition, health care providers will continue to be paid for the services they provide. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and share updates if anything changes.
The Clinical Quality and Care Transformation (CQCT) Division improves health care access, quality, and cost for Washingtonians using evidence to make clear and consistent coverage decisions.
Our division works with providers and manufacturers to stay informed of industry standards and trends. We conduct provider outreach and advise on health care policy.
Our mission is to make clinical policy decisions that guide medical coverage, maintain quality standards, and ensure providers have access to evidence-based practices for medical care.
Clinical program staff work to improve outcomes for issues related to substance use disorders (SUD), primary care in Washington, pharmacy policy and costs, reproductive health, and more.
