The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) last week announced a new web location that will serve as a resource for states, health plans, and providers to use in the design and development of Medicare and Medicaid integrated care delivery systems. The new web site contains an overview page and a road map that provides a summary of (and link to) Medicare and Medicaid documents and tools instrumental to building integrated models of care for dually eligible beneficiaries. It includes recently released CMS guidance on an integrated Medicare and Medicaid appeals process for special needs plans. There is also a mailbox for submitting questions or comments to CMS. The agency will continue to update this site with new materials as they are developed and approved.
