The Dual Eligible Coalition

The Dual Eligible Coalition is a group of multi-sector stakeholders including beneficiary advocates, managed care plans, provider systems, and behavioral health and social support service organizations that is informed by state advisors. The Coalition was founded to develop actionable, long-term policy and programmatic solutions to improve the delivery of care and outcomes for the dual eligible population. The Coalition has been at work since 2017 to assess the challenges and opportunities facing the dual eligible population and the stakeholders who work with and serve them. The Coalition has developed a framework for fully integrating Medicare and Medicaid into a single program addressing medical, long-term care, behavioral, and social needs. In conducting its work, the Coalition seeks to promote a set of principles around integration and whole-person care, including the following: • Supporting Beneficiaries to Live as Fully as Possible • Ensuring Comprehensive Integration • Promoting State-Federal Partnership • Ensuring Robust Reporting, Accountability, & Continuous Quality Improvement • Aligning Incentives for Value-Based Care • Promoting Consumer Engagement
