Medicare-Medicaid Beneficiaries Account
for Disproportionate Shares of Spending

Medicare-Medicaid Coordination Office
Section 2602 of the Affordable Care Act
Purpose: Improve quality, reduce costs and improve the beneficiary
experience.
– Ensure Medicare-Medicaid enrollees have full access to the services to
which they are entitled.
– Improve the coordination between the federal government and
states.
– Identify and test innovative care coordination and integration models.
– Eliminate financial misalignments that lead to poor quality and cost
shifting.

Financial Alignment Initiative
Background: In 2011, CMS announced new models to integrate the
service delivery and financing of both Medicare and Medicaid
through a Federal-State demonstration to better serve the population.
Goal: Increase access to quality, seamlessly integrated programs for
Medicare-Medicaid enrollees.
Demonstration Models:
– Capitated Model: Three-way contract among State, CMS and health
plan to provide comprehensive, coordinated care in a more costeffective way.
– Managed FFS Model: Agreement between State and CMS under
which states would be eligible to benefit from savings resulting from
initiatives to reduce costs in both Medicaid and Medicare.

eligible beneficiaries in their proposals

robust beneficiary protections
