We have "outlawed" Medicaid managed care here in Colorado, but we have a lot going on as far as "Medicaid Care Coordination" is concerned...we are part of a Dual-Eligible grant, a No Wrong Door grant around LTC eligibility and we have a newly created Office of Community Living that is following the federal LTC re-structure.
We are kind of picking through the Affordable Care Act and trying to apply some concepts to how we approach LTC service delivery in a more holistic fashion...

Sincerely,


Julie C. Farrar

Policy Analyst


Quality service delivery is demonstrated when services are delivered in a mutually respectful manner that includes regular communication and reflects the person centered plan.

Iowa is jumping in to “Medicaid Modernization” (managed care)   We would like to poll the list serve about the experiences of states that have enrolled or are enrolling individuals who use long term services and supports in managed care.  We’re  especially curious about states that might be seeing positive outcomes for those individuals as a result of the change.  We’re certainly hearing the bad and ugly but we’d like to hear if there are positive results as well.  Thank you.  Becky
