MDII: Medicaid Delivery Innovation Initiative

MDII helps states improve automated renewals, reduce errors, and increase staff capacity – serving America’s most vulnerable populations. We’re helping transform Medicaid systems through expert tech talent recruitment and proven methodologies. We provide 7-week discovery and implementation sprints and hiring support for permanent technical staff. No cost to states.

Building Government Tech Capacity Since 2017

Our Approach

We help government work better for the American people by getting the right tech leaders into the right roles at the right time.
We don’t just fill positions. We look for opportunities where technical leadership can fundamentally improve how government serves people and ensure government is accountable to taxpayers.
We are competent, collaborative, and committed to public service. We approach complex challenges with both tech expertise and human-centered design. Technology should serve people, not the other way around.
