Abstract

Charles Milligan gave this presentation at the closing general session of the American Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) Medicaid Conference on September 16, 2010, in Washington, D.C. The session addressed issues surrounding coordination of coverage and seamless integration of benefits for dually eligible individuals. Milligan’s presentation painted a portrait of dual eligibles, using Maryland as an example; gave an overview of cross-payer effects for dual eligibles and of Hilltop’s research on cross-payer effects for dual eligibles in Maryland; and discussed the study’s findings and policy implications.
