State Demonstration Proposals to Integrate Care and Align Financing for Dual Eligible Beneficiaries
NOTES: *CO, CT, IA, MO, and NC proposed managed FFS models. NY, OK, and WA proposed both capitated and managed FFS models; however NY has withdrawn its managed FFS proposal. All other states proposed capitated models. WA’s MOU is for its managed FFS model only; its capitated proposal remains pending with CMS. HI’s proposal remains pending, but it does not anticipate implementation in 2014.
