Abstract

Hilltop staff made several presentations at the 2015 AcademyHealth Annual Research Meeting (ARM) held June 13 through June 15 in Minneapolis. Executive Director Cynthia H. Woodcock, MBA, presented this poster for Director of Special Studies Ian Stockwell, PhD, at an ARM poster session on June 14. This poster shows that mental illnesses are both a cause for becoming dually eligible (eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid) and a factor contributing to the complexity of managing the care for individuals with multiple chronic conditions and associated functional impairments.
