Rethinking Medicaid’s Financing Role for Medicare Enrollees
02/11/2009 | 2101 Requests *Summary
Medicaid currently fills in the gaps in Medicare’s benefit package for 8.8 million enrollees with limited income and resources (dual eligibles). Shifting aspects of this financing to the Federal government could save states money and create opportunities for better care management and coordination. Data tables show how much each state could save if certain financing roles were shifted.
