Dual-Eligible Beneficiaries In Integrated Care
To improve care for dual-eligible Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries,
policy makers have pushed for integrated care programs (ICPs) for those
receiving the full range of Medicaid benefits offered within their state
of residence.
ICPs coordinate Medicare and Medicaid services and make navigating
benefits, eligibility, and administrative processes less burdensome for
both beneficiaries and clinicians
In their new Health Affairs article, David Velasquez and coauthors find
that between 2013 and 2020, full-benefit dual-eligible enrollment in
ICPs
<[link removed]>
increased nearly fivefold, although it remained much lower than
enrollment in nonintegrated plans.
The authors also find that "compared with the non-ICP fee-for-service
Medicare program, within a given state, nearly all ICPs...had higher
odds of enrolling Black and Hispanic versus White beneficiaries and
lower odds of enrolling rural versus urban beneficiaries."

During May, we're highlighting influential Asian American, Native
Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander voices and organizations who have made an
impact on health equity and policy.
The Asian and Pacific Islander American Health Forum (APIAHF)
<[link removed]>, established in 1986, is the oldest and
largest health advocacy organization working with Asian American (AA)
and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (NH/PI) communities across the
nation.
In October 2022, APIAHF held the annual VOICES Conference in Washington,
D.C., the only national forum on AA and NH/PI health, to advance
educational growth, community building, and policy advocacy impact.
