​CMS Announces New Model for Medicaid MCOs Serving Dual Eligibles – Opportunity for Home Care!

​The CMS Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation announced a new model for Medicaid Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) to better serve enrollees who are dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid. Currently, Medicaid MCOs do not have an incentive to coordinate care in a way that reduces costs for dually eligible beneficiaries.
