This section of the presentation will speak to the role of public health STD clinics and how healthcare

reform is calling for fundamental changes to the model. Examples from Massachusetts and similar sexual

health safety net providers from the Netherlands will figure prominently. NCSD will also present data

from a recent survey of state and territorial health departments that underscores the need to scale up

preparations for adapting a billing and fees collection model for these services.
