Tips to Help States Select Medicaid Managed Care Authorities as They Design Integrated Care Initiatives for Dually Eligible Individuals
This tip sheet summarizes key considerations for states trying to decide which pathway to use to advance Medicare-Medicaid integration, and which Medicaid managed care authority(ies) might best support that pathway. Although the tip sheet presents two pathways for states to consider, ultimately, a state may develop an integrated care model that falls somewhere in between these options. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and ICRC can help each state identify a strategy that best meets its needs.
