Health System Executive VP, New York State
I met Meryl Price when she provided Technical Assistance (TA) to the Fingerlakes Performing Provider System (FLPPS) and Rochester General Hospital in Rochester New York and surrounding rural areas. HPM played a key role in supporting our DSRIP application and subsequent projects related to integration within our hospital system. Meryl was involved in providing TA for multiple DSRIP demonstration projects both in New York and in Massachusetts; she understood the regulatory issues, the landscape and integrated care management design across the health care continuum.
HPM brought a rare level of enthusiasm to all the projects they worked on. The firm has a level of experience that allows Meryl and her team to provide senior level support from the outset of a wide variety of efforts, given their enthusiasm and desire to produce positive results in their TA efforts related to Behavioral Health and CBOs, JOHN – ADD AS QUOTE IN SIDEBAR I knew I could count on Meryl and HPM to deliver. The firm always goes the extra mile and is highly knowledegable and reliable.

National Policy Thought Leader, Washington D.C.
Meryl Price and the Health Policy Matters (HPM) team are exceptional. They are top experts in health care’s most challenging areas – notably, integrated Medicaid and Medicare care management delivery including integrated care management of medical care, LTSS, behavioral health care and social supports.
Health Policy Matters offers a rare team of consultants. They combine phenomenal technical expertise and real-world, senior-level experience with extraordinary energy and commitment to clients and the populations those clients serve. With HPM there is no bait-and-switch with junior, inexperienced staff or general “rinse and repeat” advice given to others. Clients get a savvy, senior team willing and able to provide discreet, on-point advice and tailored, actionable support to clients at an affordable cost.
