Bulletin: Hilltop Releases Second Report on Medicare/Medicaid Cross-Payer Effects

The Hilltop Institute has released a new report entitled, Examining Rate Setting for Medicaid Managed Long-Term Care. The report, authored by Anthony M. Tucker, PhD, and Karen E. Johnson, MS, is the second in a series that explores the cross-payer effects of providing Medicaid long-term supports and services on Medicare acute care resource use. Patterns of Medicaid eligibility, as well as resource use under both Medicare and Medicaid, are examined primarily within the context of service use-based groups that can be used to set rates for Medicaid capitation payments for managed long-term care.
