V XIX Consulting
Steve Fitton is an independent consultant following a long career in government and, more recently, working for a national health consulting firm. Steve split his career between Medicaid and Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs (CYSHCN) programs with a focus on health policy and financing. A high point in Steve’s career was serving as Michigan’s Medicaid director, a position he held for over 6 years. Notable accomplishments include playing a key leadership role in the approval and implementation of the Healthy Michigan program, the state’s expansion of Medicaid, and the creation and implementation of Michigan’s dual-eligibles (Medicaid and Medicare) demonstration program. At this point in life and career, Steve is dedicating the remainder of his professional energies to health policy and financing for CYSHCN programs and their opportunities within Medicaid program structures.
