Dual Eligible Demonstrations – What States Are Moving Ahead?

In 2012, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) began approving state dual eligible demonstration projects, with the first demonstration launching in July 2013 (see Where Are The Dual Eligible Demonstration Projects?). Last summer, CMS announced that states with dual eligible demonstrations would have the opportunity to extend the demonstrations for two years citing concerns with state budgetary cycles and lack of evaluation data. Given the extension, where are states with their dual demonstration?

There are currently 13 states with dual demonstration programs in place: Nine states with capitated demonstrations – California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island . . .
