Throughout 2018 and 2019, MACPAC has been focusing on how to better integrate care for beneficiaries dually eligible for Medicaid and Medicare. At the September 2019 meeting, the Commission devoted its Friday morning sessions to these issues, beginning with a panel of federal and state leaders on integrated care and following up with a review of the proposed work plan for the 2019–2020 meeting cycle. This set of slides presents the Commission’s proposed work plan, which is centered on three policy questions:
- For states already integrating care, what strategies could result in greater integration?
- What pathways are available to states that have not yet pursued integrated care, taking into account their individual circumstances?
- What factors present barriers to state integration efforts?
