NAMD Submits Comments on Congressional Request for Information on Dually Eligible Members

On January 13, NAMD submitted comments on a request for information on duals policy from Senators Cassidy, Carper, Scott, Warner, Cornyn, and Menendez. In our response, we highlight:

• Shortcomings of the current system of care for dual eligibles and learnings from existing duals integration models
• The importance of providing Medicaid agencies with sufficient resources to tackle duals integration, including strategies to build Medicare expertise at Medicaid agencies
• The importance of aligning financial incentives so that Medicaid agencies can share in savings that are generated through duals integration models
• The diversity of the dually eligible population and the impacts of geography on duals integration strategies
