The Federal Coordinated Health Care Office (Medicare-Medicaid Coordination Office) serves people who are dually enrolled in both Medicare and Medicaid, also known as dually eligible individuals or Medicare-Medicaid enrollees, to make sure dually eligible individuals have full access to seamless, high-quality health care and to make the system as cost-effective as possible.
The goals of the Medicare-Medicaid Coordination Office are:
– Provide dual-eligible individuals full access to the benefits to which such individuals are entitled under the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
– Simplify the processes for dual-eligible individuals to access the items and services they are entitled to under the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
The Medicare-Medicaid Coordination Office works with the Medicaid and Medicare programs across federal agencies, states, and stakeholders to align and coordinate benefits between the two programs effectively and efficiently. We partner with states to develop new care models and improve how dually eligible individuals receive health care.
