BerryDunn Brings Thought Leadership and Expertise to 2026 MESC Conference
The firm’s Medicaid experts will connect with leaders and modernization practitioners from across the country to discuss the future of Medicaid technology and policy.
BerryDunn, a full-service accounting, tax, and consulting firm, will return for the 26th year to the Medicaid Enterprise Systems Conference (MESC) taking place August 17 – 20 at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, Oregon. The firm is a trusted advisor to Medicaid agencies, helping them navigate complexity, implement system changes, and reduce risk in order to move forward with confidence.
At MESC, territorial, state, federal, and private-sector leaders convene to discuss and collaborate on Medicaid and other health and human services systems and the policies that affect them. Key themes and issues this year include program integrity and oversight, operational excellence and compliance, data-driven decision-making, and technology modernization and AI.
“Medicaid agencies are facing competing challenges straining their organizational resources. Changes enacted by H.R. 1 require enhanced administrative focus and time to achieve the established goals and objectives. States and territories are juggling several concurrent program initiatives that are straining the availability of critical sponsors, leaders, and operational program staff who also participate in modernization efforts,” says Jason Hargrove, Principal in BerryDunn’s Medicaid Practice Group. “Our team is deeply committed to helping agencies navigate this current reality with creative solutions and strategies that balance these constraints while advancing technology modernization programs, improving healthcare outcomes, and meeting demands for standardized fiscal and operational reporting.”
