Helping states develop integrated programs for individuals who are dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid
On April 24, 2019, CMS released a State Medicaid Director Letter that invites states to partner with CMS to test innovative approaches to better serve individuals who are dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid. The three new opportunities include: capitated Financial Alignment models; (2) managed fee-for-service Financial Alignment models; and (3) state-specific models.
To provide more integrated, coordinated care for its residents who are dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid, Washington State is operating a demonstration under the Financial Alignment Initiative offered by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. This case study describes: (1) the demonstration’s structure; (2) results achieved to date; and (3) insights on the demonstration’s implementation from the state and other stakeholders.
This web page provides information on the Accountable Care Collaborative Medicare-Medicaid Program -- the managed fee-for-service model Financial Alignment Initiative in Colorado.
This brief reviews primary care case management and related models to gather insights into key program design elements in managed fee-for-service models.
This report describes early implementation activities occurring in the first six months of the seven financial alignment demonstrations launched as of May 1, 2014.
This report provides preliminary data for the first 18 months of Washington's managed fee-for-service demonstration. It includes a description of the demonstration model, preliminary findings on eligibility and enrollment in the demonstration, characteristics of the demonstration eligible population, selected early results on quality and utilization, and an estimate of Medicare savings.
