Finally, a substantial number of CMS-backed and state initiatives are up and running for Medicare-Medicaid dual eligibles. And some states and participating plans are now reporting initial results related to passive enrollment, coordination between Medicare and Medicaid, medical services utilization, cost savings and more.

Register for AIS's Dual-Eligibles Programs: Initial Results, Successes and Remaining Challenges and find out the early results and lessons learned from CMS-backed and state duals demos - presented by 11 of the nation's top duals experts from the private and public sectors.

When you attend this unique virtual conference on Sept. 17 from the convenience of your own office, your entire management team will hear from speakers on the front lines of existing and developing duals programs. For one registration fee, your team will gain valuable, practical intelligence and strategic insights on:

  • Succeeding in voluntary and passive enrollment in the duals programs, including a case study on what has (and hasn’t) worked in getting duals into the programs that are right for them — and keeping them there.
  • Getting Medicare, Medicaid and community resources to truly coordinate care for duals and assure that beneficiaries are accessing the right providers, including for behavioral health.
  • Controlling medical-services utilization so that cost-savings objectives can be achieved.
  • Containing plans’ administrative and other costs so that relatively low payment rates and quality withholds don’t make continued participation infeasible.

The Virtual Experience: Get intensive training from the convenience of your own office or conference room. No travel required! Gather your entire management team for the most cost-effective training in the industry. More Info


Join us on Sept. 17 for AIS's Dual-Eligibles Programs: Initial Results, Successes and Remaining Challenges and begin to sort through the preliminary results about what is working — and where participating plans and states must now focus to solve remaining problems. Sessions and speakers include:

  • Lessons Learned: An Overview of What Has Worked (and What Hasn't) From Initial CMS and State Duals Programs — Robb Cohen of Gorman Health Group, Shuchita Madan of Medicaid Health Plans of America and Robert Wychulis of Inovalon will give you a fast-paced status report on what has already taken place on implementation of the duals initiatives, how well the programs have fared, and what has worked best and worst.
  • Case Study: Implementation of the California Duals Initiative — Two veterans of California’s CMS-backed demo — Peter Harbage of Harbage Consulting and Lisa Rubino of Molina Healthcare — will provide an inside look at how it has gone so far and why.
  • Initial Behavioral Health and Pharmacy Experiences in Duals Initiatives — Brian Wheelan of Beacon Health Strategies and Cynthia Pigg of Magellan Medicaid Administration will share what the initial evidence suggests on how the often-abundant behavioral-health needs of beneficiaries are dealt with, and how effectively their pharmacy benefits are handled.
  • What's Next for Duals Initiatives? — There is a consensus that initiatives for integrating care for duals have only just begun to find ways that will improve outcomes and save money, so what directions will they head in later and how quickly? Share a crystal ball with an all-star panel — John Gorman of Gorman Health Group, Austin Ifedirah, DDS, of Gateway Health Plan, Mary Kennedy of the Association for Community Affiliated Plans and Thomas Lutzow, Ph.D., of iCare.
