Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although mandated by federal law, Medicaid always has been fundamentally a matter of state business, primarily because states administer the program and receive only partial federal reimbursement for state expenditures. As health care costs have burgeoned over the past few decades, states have encountered growing pressure on numerous areas of their economies and budgets. In response, states increasingly desire permissible ways to reduce Medicaid costs, lobbying intensely for increased flexibility within federal Medicaid standards. The push for Medicaid reform is evident in the Deficit Reduction Act (DRA), which developed in part as a response to state-level dissatisfaction with existing Medicaid program options such as waivers. The DRA spells significant changes for Medicaid, as it institutes deep revisions of some of the program's core elements. The most significant components of the DRA's reforms include the expansion of state options and the simplification of the option approval process. This article examines the newly available options that will most notably affect Medicaid services to the elderly, especially long-term care services, and it summarizes program revisions under consideration or active development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines the implementation of Medicaid policy changes in New York, which will require participation in care management for dually eligible beneficiaries receiving long-term care services. Until now such beneficiaries have typically received these services under a fee-for-service payment model. With the new State policy shifting the Medicaid long-term care health benefit into a new care management framework, this report explains and considers potential strategies and options for improving the management of long-term care services for elderly and disabled Medicaid beneficiaries, and addresses the issues of balancing residential and community-based long-term care, refining reimbursement for long-term care services, and providing effective care management.

Book excerpt: The Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (DRA) makes it difficult for a senior citizen to transfer financial assets and subsequently qualify for Medicaid's long-term care benefit. It makes it so difficult, in fact, that it creates a class of sick, poor senior citizens who do not qualify for Medicaid because they inadvertently transferred assets long before they had reason to believe that they would need long-term care. Essentially, Medicaid law expects senior citizens who gave away money during the past five years to recover it and spend it on nursing home care before they qualify for Medicaid. However, senior citizens who simply spend their money - on cars, home improvements, or whatever they choose - are not expected to recover it and incur no penalty. The hardship waivers that are supposed to provide a safety net for ill senior citizens who are denied Medicaid coverage are useless because they are applied so restrictively. The result is the exclusion from Medicaid of the people it was designed to serve. This article discusses how financial asset transfers are treated under Medicaid law, both before and after the DRA's enactment, and analyzes whether Medicaid policy is served by the DRA's changes. The article also proposes solutions to the problems caused by the DRA and presents a strategy for seniors to transfer some financial assets and still qualify for Medicaid. Finally, the article advocates for changes to Medicaid law, including changing the hardship waiver procedures, increasing the asset exemption amount, and rolling back the DRA. These changes would enable Medicaid law to perform the function for which it was designed - to provide a safety net for our nation's poorest and sickest citizens.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The future of disability in America will depend on how well the U.S. prepares for and manages the demographic, fiscal, and technological developments that will unfold during the next two to three decades. Building upon two prior studies from the Institute of Medicine (the 1991 Institute of Medicine's report Disability in America and the 1997 report Enabling America), The Future of Disability in America examines both progress and concerns about continuing barriers that limit the independence, productivity, and participation in community life of people with disabilities. This book offers a comprehensive look at a wide range of issues, including the prevalence of disability across the lifespan; disability trends the role of assistive technology; barriers posed by health care and other facilities with inaccessible buildings, equipment, and information formats; the needs of young people moving from pediatric to adult health care and of adults experiencing premature aging and secondary health problems; selected issues in health care financing (e.g., risk adjusting payments to health plans, coverage of assistive technology); and the organizing and financing of disability-related research. The Future of Disability in America is an assessment of both principles and scientific evidence for disability policies and services. This book's recommendations propose steps to eliminate barriers and strengthen the evidence base for future public and private actions to reduce the impact of disability on individuals, families, and society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1965, the United States government enacted legislation to provide low-income individuals with quality health care and related services. Initially viewed as the friendless stepchild of Medicare, Medicaid has grown exponentially since its inception, becoming a formidable force of its own. Funded jointly by the national government and each of the fifty states, the program is now the fourth most expensive item in the federal budget and the second largest category of spending for almost every state. Now, under the new, historic health care reform legislation, Medicaid is scheduled to include sixteen million more people. Laura Katz Olson, an expert on health, aging, and long-term care policy, unravels the multifaceted and perplexing puzzle of Medicaid with respect to those who invest in and benefit from the program. Assessing the social, political, and economic dynamics that have shaped Medicaid for almost half a century, she helps readers of all backgrounds understand the entrenched and powerful interests woven into the system that have been instrumental in swelling costs and holding elected officials hostage. Addressing such fundamental questions as whether patients receive good care and whether Medicaid meets the needs of the low-income population it is supposed to serve, Olson evaluates the extent to which the program is an appropriate foundation for health care reform.
