Webinar Replay: Continuing the Path to Medicare-Medicaid Integration
This webinar was held on October 4, 2021.
Federal and state policy makers have long been working to expand enrollment in Medicare-Medicaid integrated care programs (ICPs). ICPs can advance independent living and health equity for individuals who are dually eligible for both programs. However, approximately only one in 10 dually eligible individuals was enrolled in an ICP as of 2019. To encourage ICP enrollment and retention, Á¿×Ó×ÊÔ´Íø identified 10 essential elements of ICPs centered around, informed by, and made available to dually eligible individuals. (See Á¿×Ó×ÊÔ´Íø Brief #3 and the brief fact sheet.)
During this webinar, Á¿×Ó×ÊÔ´Íø shared these 10 essential elements for establishing and simplifying ICPs specifically tailored to diverse individuals’ needs and preferences. Panelists involved in health justice and community-based healthcare offered practical next steps for advancing ICPs.
