Medicare-Medicaid Coordination Office • Section 2602 of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) • Purpose: Improve quality, reduce costs, and improve the beneficiary experience. • Ensure dually eligible individuals have full access to the services to which they are entitled. • Improve the coordination between the federal government and states. • Develop innovative care coordination and integration models. • Eliminate financial misalignments that lead to poor quality and cost shifting.

  5. Focus on Beneficiary and Person Centered Care and Service Delivery Improve dual eligibles’ satisfaction, program awareness, health, functional status, and well-being. Assure dual eligibles are receiving high quality, person centered acute, behavioral, and long term services and supports.

Medicare-Medicaid Coordination OfficeMajor Areas of Work The Medicare-Medicaid Coordination Office is working on a variety of initiatives to improve access, coordination and cost of care for Medicare-Medicaid enrollees in the following areas: • Program Alignment • Data and Analytics • Models and Demonstrations • Other

  7. One Example: Financial Alignment Demonstrations to Support State Efforts to Integrate Care • Capitated Model: Three-way contract among State, CMS and health plan to provide comprehensive, coordinated care in a more cost-effective way. • Managed FFS Model: Agreement between State and CMS under which States would be eligible to benefit from savings resulting from initiatives to reduce costs in both Medicaid and Medicare. • 37 States and the District of Columbia submitted letters of intent to participate in these financial demonstrations. CMS will work with these States to further develop these approaches. • States must meet established standards and conditions, including implementation by 2012.
