Medicare-Medicaid Integration Alliance

The Medicare-Medicaid Integration Alliance (MMIA) is dedicated to improving care for the more than 12 million people dually enrolled in Medicare and Medicaid.

Nearly 14% of people who are dually eligible lost coverage during Medicaid unwinding, per new research in @Health_Affairs. But people in integrated plans were significantly less likely to experience coverage gaps. Read more: https://t.co/uuV2rWvzd4

@CMSGov is looking to partner with two states to improve Medicare-Medicaid coordination through #LEAD. Effective integration depends on supportive partnerships between states and the federal government.

As Medicare Advantage lookalike plans end, beneficiaries may simply be shifted to other nonintegrated plans, according to @JAMAHealthForum. Dually eligible enrollees need more support—and more integrated options.

The 24/7 support Deborah’s health plan provided helped her navigate dual eligibility and recover from a stroke that left her unable to speak. Such seamless support should be the norm, not the exception. More from @CommCatHealth: https://t.co/z1tWWjvzXZ

The federal government can support states working to integrate Medicaid and Medicare, even in an environment of Medicaid cuts. More in @Health_Affairs: https://t.co/qNz1MWUC9t

Accurate risk-adjustment models make #Medicare more sustainable. Learn more about how @CMSGov could use a D-SNP demonstration model to pilot innovative ways to improve coding accuracy and risk adjustment: https://t.co/2WPCQFzqHC

Policymakers need to know what people who are dually eligible experience just to stay covered and get care. @medicarerights case study series presents common barriers and solutions to make Medicare and Medicaid work better together: https://t.co/JAMXjSUYKN

[Medicare-Medicaid Integration Alliance @SupportDuals]

People suffer when Medicare and Medicaid don’t work hand in hand. Read @medicarerights case study series to learn how challenges like coverage gaps and service disruptions affect people who are dually eligible and what policymakers can do to improve care.

[MedicareRightsCenter @medicarerights]

When Medicare and Medicaid don't work together, people can face delayed care, denied services, & unnecessary confusion. Medicare Rights is releasing Making Medicare and Medicaid Work Better Together, a series showing how breakdowns in Medicare–Medicaid coordination affect people.

[Medicare-Medicaid Integration Alliance @SupportDuals]

When dually eligible individuals are forced to navigate two programs not designed to work together, accessing care can be difficult and unaffordable. Check out @DisabledSouth’s new podcast for the real-life impacts on dually eligible people in the South: https://t.co/F2tWA4pfRU

Near, far, wherever you are, MMIA believes that people who are dually eligible should have access to meaningfully integrated coverage… and appropriate emergency flotation devices.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
People who are dually eligible deserve better care
More integrated coverage options, too

[Medicare-Medicaid Integration Alliance @SupportDuals]

People who are dually eligible should have input over the design of care models that address their unique needs. Check out the latest updates to @justiceinaging’s toolkit to help states integrate dually eligible peoples’ perspectives: https://t.co/9dmqaa8Ejc

[Medicare-Medicaid Integration Alliance @SupportDuals]

Few dually eligible people in rural areas have access to integrated care. @CHCShealth shared practical strategies to address this challenge. https://t.co/18SN1JGFGJ

[Medicare-Medicaid Integration Alliance @SupportDuals]

People who are #duallyeligible benefit when states integrate #Medicare & #Medicaid coverage, but there are significant hurdles to do so. MMIA members @mltssassoc and @SNP_Alliance developed a timeline to help states integrating through D-SNPs. Learn more: https://t.co/4e5fEH0kkn

[Medicare-Medicaid Integration Alliance @SupportDuals]

Plans designed for people who are #duallyeligible grew 18% for plan year 2026, according to @ATIAdvisory. When states get support to integrate #Medicaid & #Medicare, it’s easier for people to get the care they need. More in @skilled_nursing: https://t.co/5Woy6nZayd

[Medicare-Medicaid Integration Alliance @SupportDuals]

#Medicaid renewal requirements are so complicated that 24% of people who are newly #duallyeligible lose coverage 3+ months. Even short care gaps endanger people’s health if they have complex needs. The process must be simplified.

Katie learned #Medicare wouldn't cover her meds, so she signed up for #Medicaid, which did. Dual eligibility was a lifeline for Katie but the programs usually don't work well together.

Having support navigating them makes a big difference. @CommCatHealth https://t.co/KgRh1l8QcD

[Medicare-Medicaid Integration Alliance @SupportDuals]

A new @CHCShealth brief shows 13M #DuallyEligible individuals face fragmented care, especially in rural areas with provider shortages and hospital closures. Integration can help states create efficiencies and coordinate care. https://t.co/LUF8y5S9CD
