"Covering and Caring for Dual Eligibles"
There are nearly 9 million so called "dual eligibles" -- low income seniors and younger people with disabilities -- who qualify for both Medicaid and Medicare benefits. They are among the country’s sickest and poorest populations and frequently encounter great difficulty navigating the complex and uncoordinated systems of the two beneficiary programs. The Affordable Care Act contains provisions to improve the quality of care delivered to dual eligibles while better controlling costs. The panel will discuss the implementation and challenges involved in managing care for dual eligibles.
