Policy influence CHCS is a mid-sized think tank with a three-decade track record in Medicaid policy design and implementation, presenting opportunities to position products or services that support policy research, program evaluation, and stakeholder engagement for state Medicaid agencies and allied health organizations.

Strategic partnerships Recent and ongoing collaborations with Altarum, West Health, PMHA Alliance, and CMS participation indicate a readiness to form multi-party initiatives, suggesting sales angles around data dashboards, research synthesis, technical demonstrations, and collaborative grant-funded programs.

Data and tech focus CHCS engages with dashboards, data selection, and functionality guidance, plus cloud-based tools across AWS, Google Cloud, and Salesforce; this implies demand for analytics platforms, data governance, integration services, and secure cloud solutions tailored to Medicaid programs.

Funding signals With revenue in the 50 to 100 million range and prominent funder involvement (Arnold Ventures) for leadership programs, there is potential for consulting, leadership development, and program management offerings that align with Medicaid leadership initiatives and stakeholder capacity building.

Public sector focus The organization’s mission-driven stance and focus on state Medicaid and related human services agencies across the country position CHCS as a gateway for solutions that address regulatory compliance, program evaluation, and outcomes improvement in public health delivery.
