Forum Session

Date:
October 5, 2001
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.
Speakers:
