Maureen-Hensley Quinn, Senior Director, at the National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP) leads the Coverage, Cost and Value team that focuses on states’ efforts to finance, provide, and improve coverage and care for all people across ages and income ranges. For over a decade, Maureen’s work has centered on health care affordability with the ultimate goal of supporting comprehensive coverage that facilitates access to high-quality care. As part of this work, she oversees NASHP’s Centers on Prescription Drug Pricing and Health System Costs. These Centers work directly with diverse state officials to identify issues and create policy solutions and resource tools that are based on research, analysis, and data to inform strategies for lowering and containing high health care costs. Additionally, Maureen’s portfolio includes supporting multiple state coverage programs including Medicaid, CHIP, State-based marketplaces, and state employee health plans. She also leads work to support state all-payer efforts to transform their payment and delivery systems to move beyond fee-for-service, and to explore global budgets through the CMS AHEAD model and beyond. Prior to joining NASHP in 2007, Maureen worked a different national non-profit organization, and within the Insurance Division of the Massachusetts State Attorney General’s Office. Maureen received a bachelor’s degree in Political Science from Merrimack College in Massachusetts and earned a master’s degree in Public Affairs from the John W. McCormack School of Public Policy at the University of Massachusetts in Boston.
