| Title: | Primary Care Case Management: Lessons for Medicare? |
| Manager: | Lisa Sprague |
| Summary: | This Forum session looked at primary care case management (PCCM) as a tool that states have used to manage the delivery of care to their Medicaid populations, an alternative to contracting with commercial managed care plans. (States had found PCCM a flexible means of advancing state policy goals, including quality improvement, disease management, and coverage of special-needs populations.) The speakers considered provider and beneficiary perspectives on PCCM as well as state agency objectives and accomplishments and explored the question of adapting the PCCM model for Medicare. |
