Improved Healthcare Coordination for Medicare and Medicaid Beneficiaries.
This act aims to enhance how individuals enrolled in both Medicare and Medicaid receive healthcare. It requires states to develop strategies that will simplify access to benefits and ensure better coordination of services, potentially leading to more efficient treatment and less bureaucracy for patients.
Key points
States must develop strategies to integrate and coordinate health benefits for individuals eligible for both programs.
These plans must include beneficiary education, protection of their rights, access to care, and integration of mental health services.
States will be required to regularly review and update their strategies to ensure effectiveness.
