Profile

Profile

A veteran of state and federal health care administrations with experience in program design and implementation, Stephanie Anthony provides research, analysis and advisory services on health policy and health law to public and private sector clients.

Clients turn to Stephanie for counsel on health care reform, Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) financing, program design and waivers, post-acute care, and long-term services and supports. She also advises on best practices in care management, integrated care models, and coverage options for the uninsured.

Before joining Manatt, Stephanie was with the University of Massachusetts Medical School’s (UMMS’s) Center for Health Law and Economics, where she helped Massachusetts become the first state to implement a demonstration program of integrated care for individuals with dual eligibility for Medicare and Medicaid.

Stephanie oversaw strategic planning, policy development and analysis, program design, data analytics, and stakeholder engagement efforts. She was also the lead consultant providing analytic and staff support to Massachusetts’ Long-Term Care Financing Advisory Committee.

Prior to UMMS, Stephanie was deputy Medicaid director in the Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services. A member of the executive management team, she worked with the federal Medicaid oversight agency and was integral to the development and implementation of the Commonwealth’s landmark health care reform law. Stephanie also oversaw CHIP and the MassHealth 1115 Waiver, the primary financing mechanism for the publicly funded health care reform coverage expansions.

Stephanie’s government service also includes work as a director of federal and national policy management within EOHHS’s Medicaid office and as a legal advisor and policy analyst for the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. She also was a senior policy analyst for the Economic and Social Research Institute.
