Better Care Playbook Webinar: Understanding Medicare to Advance Medicare‑Medicaid Integration - State and Enrollee Perspectives
The Better Care Playbook is holding a webinar on November 20, "Understanding Medicare to Advance Medicare-Medicaid Integration: State and Enrollee Perspectives."
This webinar will highlight how California, Iowa and Tennessee’s Medicaid agencies established Medicare knowledge to advance integrated care models. The states will address how they are building Medicare's capacity to (1) oversee integrated programs, (2) advance health equity and (3) respond to the evolving federal Medicare landscape.
The webinar will also feature a dually eligible enrollee who will share key considerations for improving Medicare and Medicaid coordination to help enrollees navigate these programs.
Speakers include:
- Alexandra Kruse, Senior Fellow, CHCS (moderator)
- Anastasia Dodson, Deputy Director, Office of Medicare Innovation and Integration, California Department of Health Care Service
- Susan Van Horn, Program Manager, Dual Eligible and Third-Party Liability Policy, Iowa Department of Health and Human Services
- Loleetha Gilbert, Assistant Director of D-SNP and PACE, TennCare
- Barbara Merkel, dually eligible enrollee
The featured state panelists participated in the Medicare Academy, a training initiative led by the Center for Health Care Strategies (CHCS) with support from Arnold Ventures, the Commonwealth Fund and The SCAN Foundation.
