Who We Are

The Partnership for Medicaid Home-Based Care (PMHC) is a collaborative organization representing home care agencies, associations, Managed Care Organizations (MCOs), payers, and business affiliates. Our mission is to improve the quality and integrity of home and community-based services (HCBS) through policy advocacy and the development of cost-effective solutions.

At PMHC, we recognize the crucial role of home and community-based care in the Medicaid program, and we are committed to advancing and supporting public policies that strengthen and secure the Medicaid program for care recipients and taxpayers alike. Our goal is to provide cost-effective policy solutions that advance quality home-based care as a person-centered solution for federal and state governments, Medicaid managed care, ACOs, and other integrated healthcare models.

Chief Executive Officer

Michelle Martin

Chief Executive Officer

Before being appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Partnership for Medicaid Home-Based Care, Michelle served as Senior Policy Director for Complex Care at UnitedHealthcare Community & State. There, she led the development of policy positioning, associated advocacy, and thought leadership strategies for expanding access to long-term services and supports for Medicaid beneficiaries, including those who are dually eligible and those who may benefit from early support to prevent decline. Michelle’s work includes fostering partnerships aimed at improving access and services for individuals to live a healthy and happy life safely in the setting of their choosing.

Prior to joining UnitedHealthcare, Michelle served as the Executive Director of Complex Care at AHIP where she led the organization’s focus on the continuum of long-term care. Built on the experience of being a caregiver for her grandmother, Michelle’s career has been focused on improving access and services in the Medicaid program, including work as a lobbyist for the Affordable Care Act and various policy roles focused on long term services and supports. Michelle practiced law for several years in her home state of Michigan before she moved to the Washington, D.C. area in 2008.
