Sunday, February 27, 2022 | The Latest Research, Commentary, And News
From Health Affairs
Dear John,
Join us tomorrow for the
next Health Affairs Policy Spotlight
with
Meena Seshamani, deputy administrator and director, Center for Medicare,
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
New: Medicare and Medicaid Integration Forefront Series
[link removed]
We are launching a new Forefront series on Medicare and Medicaid
Integration.
The series will feature policy analysis, proposals, and commentary to
inform policies on the state and federal levels to advance integrated
care for those dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid.
The series will include articles exploring the evidence base (and gaps
in our knowledge) and the range of views on various key issues-all
with the aim of enhancing the national conversation on this issue and
eliciting thoughtful responses from leaders in the public and private
sectors.
In the first article for the series
,
Laura Keohane and Ann Hwang discuss the new proposed rules from CMS that
will affect coverage for Medicare beneficiaries with dual-eligible
special needs plans or Medicare-Medicaid Plans.
We are grateful to Arnold Ventures for
supporting this project. We are accepting article submissions for the
series through August 2022.
Find out more information on the project here

Elsewhere At Health Affairs
Earlier this month, Health Affairs Director of Digital Strategy Patti
Sweet published a Forefront article titled "Google and Twitter Don't
Want Us To Talk About Racism
,"
discussing challenges to promoting our February theme issue on Racism &
Health .
Since the publication of that article, Google and Twitter responded that
Health Affairs ads were blocked due to mention of COVID-19 and not
because of the mention of racism.
Both platforms require account-level authorization for a brand to
promote COVID-related content with paid media. We are now approved on
Twitter to advertise as a cause-based organization and approved on
Google to continue to promote COVID-related content via paid ads.
The support from our readers and amplification of our content helped us
get a faster response. Thank you.
In a new podcast episode of
This
Week ,
Health Affairs' Ellen Bayer and Rob Lott discuss possible implications
for health policies related to Medicaid and telehealth when the COVID-19
public health emergency sunsets.
In Health Affairs Forefront highlights, Katie Keith wrote about new
guidance on the coverage of at-home COVID-19 tests
and
the February 23 ruling
that set aside key parts of a recent rule that creates a new federal
independent dispute resolution process.
Micky Tripathi, national coordinator for health information technology,
explains how implementation of the 21st Century Cures Act
can maximize the potential for a digital health care system to improve
the lives of patients.
Ryan Vega and coauthors from the Department of Veterans Affairs argue
that the Veterans Health Administration
is one of the few health care systems to have the capabilities, scale,
and incentives to solve the most pressing challenges in health care.
Finally, Paul Ginsburg and Steven Lieberman discuss concerns
with the politics of Medicare Advantage overpayment.
