North Carolina Medicare-Medicaid Integration: Advancing Whole-Person Care

Background

North Carolina is in the midst of a major shift from fee-for-service to Medicaid managed care and other value-based care transformation efforts. As part of these reforms, North Carolina is required to integrate care for dual-eligible beneficiaries within five years of Medicaid managed care launch. The Duke-Margolis Center for Health Policy, with support from Arnold Ventures, has developed potential options for Medicare-Medicaid integration in the state. 

Objectives:

·        Present proposed vision, goals, and potential options for Medicare-Medicaid integration in North Carolina.

·        Discuss challenges, opportunities, and lessons learned from Medicare-Medicaid integration efforts
