Matthew Kehn

Matt Kehn studies and supports the implementation of health care programs and initiatives, particularly those that promote value-based care and seek to improve care coordination. His subject matter expertise includes Medicare and Medicaid, quality improvement, and efforts to improve access to care and care coordination.

Kehn directed Mathematica’s contract with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to provide implementation support and technical assistance for the Accountable Health Communities (AHC) Model. AHC sought to reduce costs by connecting high-need Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries to community services. Kehn also directed Mathematica’s contract with CMS to provide learning support to several other CMS innovation models, including the ACO REACH and Kidney Care Choices Model. Kehn advises on several other Mathematica projects that support CMS’s efforts to improve quality and promote cost-effective innovations such as Mathematica’s contract to support the Rapid Cycle Innovation Program. He previously led the implementation evaluation of the Non-Elderly Disabled Category Two Housing Choice Voucher Program, and the CMS Real Choice Systems Change Grant for Building Sustainable Partnerships for Housing. He also conducted a case review of state initiatives funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation.

Before joining Mathematica in 2010, Kehn held various research positions at the MedStar Health Research Institute. He holds an M.P.P. from the School of Public Administration at American University.
