| Annotation | As demand for long-term care is increasing, the US government is turning to the private sector to effectively manage the needs of dually eligible (DE) individuals. The DE population is defined as those individuals who qualify for Medicaid and Medicare including enrollees older that 65, younger than 65, and the disabled. Some states manage their DE population through creative programmes and managed care. This analysis found that existing long-term care programmes are unproven, mostly of small size, and very localised. An ideal model would need to be financially acceptable and address access, case management and quality. (KJ/RH). |
