Health Affairs Forefront: Engaging Dual-Eligible Beneficiaries To Build Effective Integrated Care Programs

Engaging Dual Eligible Beneficiaries To Build Effective Integrated Care Programs

Health Affairs Forefront has published an article on "Engaging Dual-Eligible Beneficiaries To Build Effective Integrated Care Programs."

In the article, senior director of Community Catalyst's Center for Community Engagement in Health Innovation, Dr. Wilson notes that several states are transitioning from all capitated Medicare-Medicaid plans (MMP) to integrated Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs) by the end of 2025. He says that beneficiary engagement is essential for successful integrated care delivery models, whether mandated through recent policy developments or simply as best practice. Centering and engaging consumers can lead to better care and outcomes at reduced cost, while also reducing inequities. As a guide for organizations and entities seeking to collaborate with consumers, Community Catalyst offers their model of engagement.
