A bill to amend title XIX of the Social Security Act to provide States with resources to support efforts to integrate or coordinate Medicare and Medicaid benefits for individuals that are eligible for both programs.

Bill 118 s 3882, also known as the "Medicare-Medicaid Integration and Coordination Act," aims to amend title XIX of the Social Security Act in order to provide states with resources to better integrate and coordinate benefits for individuals who are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid.

The bill recognizes that many individuals qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid, and that the current system can be confusing and inefficient for these dual-eligible individuals. By providing states with additional resources, the goal is to streamline and improve the coordination of benefits for these individuals, ultimately leading to better health outcomes and cost savings.

Specifically, the bill aims to support states in efforts to integrate or coordinate Medicare and Medicaid benefits, with a focus on improving care coordination, reducing administrative burdens, and enhancing access to high-quality care for dual-eligible individuals. This includes providing states with funding to implement new programs, improve data sharing between Medicare and Medicaid, and enhance care coordination efforts. Overall, the Medicare-Medicaid Integration and Coordination Act seeks to address the challenges faced by dual-eligible individuals and improve the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the Medicare and Medicaid programs. By providing states with the resources and support needed to better integrate and coordinate benefits, the bill aims to improve the quality of care and outcomes for these vulnerable populations.
