This project continues a demonstration to develop managed care program for dually eligible Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries. The purpose of the demonstration is, co-funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, to enhance the clinical and administrative coordination of primary, acute, and long term care services for adults and elderly Medicaid beneficiaries.
