Integrating Care for Dual Eligibles
The Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) Medical Services
Administration (MSA) is issuing the attached Request for Input (RFI) to
gather input from a broad spectrum of interested parties regarding the
initiative to integrate Medicare and Medicaid for individuals who are
eligible for both programs ("dual eligibles"). The MDCH is interested in
hearing suggestions, concerns, and other feedback. We would like to
hear from any interested party, including those who are eligible for
both Medicare and Medicaid, their allies and advocates, providers of
services, and potential contracting entities.
Michigan’s
initiative to integrate care and financing for dual eligibles is an
effort to ensure that dually eligible beneficiaries have access to
appropriate services; benefit from integrated and comprehensive services
that meet their individual needs; and receive improved care
coordination of health care, behavioral health, and long-term services
and supports. MDCH also seeks to create payment systems that hold
providers accountable for the care they deliver. Michigan aims to reward
high-quality care, improve health outcomes, and more effectively spend
health care dollars.
