Food is Medicine: A State Medicaid Policy Toolkit

The Food is Medicine Coalition, in partnership with  the Center for Health Law and Policy Innovation (CHLPI) at Harvard Law School, created a comprehensive guide of existing State Medicaid authorities to leverage for increasing access to food is medicine (FIM) services. The tool is geared towards policymakers but can be utilized by all in the food is medicine field to increase access to these lifesaving services. The purpose of this Toolkit is to build upon CMS’s 2023 guidance by providing a roadmap by which state officials can identify the most feasible and impactful approaches to address patient nutrition needs in their state Medicaid and CHIP programs.
