OPEN MINDS Releases New Report On The Status Of The Dual Eligible Demonstrations

OPEN MINDS Report Provides An Update On Dual Eligible Demonstrations: Where Are We 4 Years Later?

OPEN MINDS released a new Market Intelligence Report which provides a detailed look at the dual demonstration initiatives in the thirteen states that have programs up and running (California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Colorado and Washington).

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) launched state demonstrations to integrate care for full-benefit dual eligible individuals in April 2011 in an effort to expand access to integrated programs that coordinate Medicaid and Medicare benefits. The demonstration is testing two models of care – a capitated model and a managed fee-for-service model. In late 2015 and early 2016, the preliminary results of these demonstrations become available. The report, What Is The Status Of The Dual Demonstrations Projects?: An OPEN MINDS Market Intelligence Report, explores those evaluations and provides analysis on how the evaluations will effect the continuation of the demonstrations. The report answers a number of questions including:

1. What Are The Dual Eligible Demonstrations?
2. What States Have Dual Eligible Demonstrations?
3. What Are The Key Features Of Each State’s Dual Eligible Demonstration?
4. How Are Dual Demonstration Savings Calculated?
5. What Is The Current Enrollment Of The Dual Eligible Demonstrations?
6. What Are The Early Results Of The Dual Eligible Demonstrations?
7. What Is The Future Of Dual Eligible Demonstrations?
