Medicaid enrollment and spending presentation postponed; committee reschedules Evergreen Economics briefing
Summary
Evergreen Economics President Ted Hellboyd began a scheduled presentation on Alaska Medicaid enrollment and spending but the committee paused the briefing due to a presentation materials issue and rescheduled the remainder for March 5, 2025.
Ted Hellboyd, president of Evergreen Economics, introduced the Senate Finance Committee’s annual update on Medicaid enrollment and spending on March 3, noting the work followed a 2005 legislative request for a long-term Medicaid forecast and that the contract calls for annual updates.
During the presentation the consulting team encountered a technical problem: several figures did not display. Committee leadership paused the briefing and decided to reconvene the Medicaid presentation at the committee’s next meeting. Chair Hoffman announced the continuation is scheduled for Wednesday, March 5 at 9 a.m., when the committee will also hear the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute (ASMI). Hellboyd’s full presentation and the remaining time for questions and discussion will be taken up at that session.
The committee adjourned after confirming the revised schedule. No substantive policy decisions were made on March 3; the rescheduled session will contain the full Medicaid forecast and discussion.
