Best Bets for Reducing Medicare Costs for Dual Eligible Beneficiaries: Assessing the Evidence
Issue Brief
Download
This study reviews prior pilot projects and demonstrations for dual eligibles—those receiving both Medicare and Medicaid benefits—and finds support for modest Medicare savings through well-targeted interventions. The study cites a small number of fully integrated, capitated managed care programs and fee-for-service based interventions for dual eligible beneficiaries that succeeded in reducing hospitalizations, although few of these programs were able to demonstrate net savings for Medicare.
