Profile

Jocelyn Guyer provides policy analysis, strategic advice and technical support to states, foundations and a range of clients on the successful implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), delivery system reform, Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP).

With decades of health policy work, Jocelyn possesses a nuanced perspective on delivery system reform, coverage and eligibility issues, and IT systems. She has served as an advisor to the National Academy for State Health Policy and the American Academy of Pediatrics, among others.

Prior to joining Manatt, Jocelyn was a founding member and coexecutive director of the Center for Children and Families, a health policy center at Georgetown University. She provided advice to national policymakers and advocates on health policy and safety net programs.

Jocelyn managed CCF's review of federal health reform regulations and its annual 50-state survey on Medicaid and CHIP eligibility rules. During her tenure as a senior researcher at Georgetown University, Jocelyn helped Maryland implement the ACA and establish its marketplace.

As an associate director with the Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured, Jocelyn analyzed issues in healthcare for vulnerable Americans, including Medicaid waivers, the implications of the Medicare Part D drug benefit for impoverished seniors and people with disabilities, and the expected impact of transforming the financing of Medicaid.

At the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, Jocelyn assisted states and advocates with implementing family-based coverage expansions, advised congressional offices on creation of CHIP initiatives, and designed policy initiatives to link Medicaid and other social supports. She also served as a legislative research assistant to the late Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-NY).

Throughout her career Jocelyn has been a speaker at national gatherings of state officials, provider organizations, advocacy groups and foundations. She has presented to members of Congress, as well as state and local officials, on the future of children's coverage, transforming Medicaid and implementing federal health reform.
