A little over a week ago the Senate Special Committee on Aging (Chaired by Senator Bob Corker) held a hearing on Medicare and Medicaid coordination of benefits for Dual -Eligible. The Director of CMS Medicare-Medicaid Coordination Office, Melanie Bella testified that CMS hopes to get up to 2 million beneficiaries to participate in its demonstration program for dual eligibles. The hope is to reduce costs through better management of benefits. Many Senators on the committee worry about the Medicare Advantage plans. They note that those plans are very popular in their home states. They view this coordination as a possible threat to those plans. The CMS expressed its desire not to harm those plans at this point.
