Acentra Health has announced the launch of the Safe AI in Medicaid Alliance (SAMA), a collaborative initiative aimed at developing safe and responsible AI frameworks for Medicaid programs, announced in a press release. The alliance brings together Medicaid leaders, policy experts, and technology innovators, including the Washington Health Care Authority, Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System, and Amazon Web Services.

SAMA aims to create practical tools that states can use to improve outcomes in their Medicaid programs. The alliance will address the unique operational, compliance, and equity challenges facing state Medicaid programs by developing shared evaluation frameworks for AI use cases and risk tiers.

The initiative was formally convened in August at the Medicaid Enterprise Systems Conference, where leaders discussed the challenges state Medicaid agencies face with AI and how they will collaborate through SAMA. Over the past month, SAMA has expanded to include 32 states and one U.S. territory, with other states and partners invited to join upcoming workgroup sessions.
