ABSTRACT
This paper describes a unique collaboration between consumer health care advocates, experts in geriatrics, a state, and a health plan to improve care for adults with both Medicare and Medicaid. Ineffective care coordination between the Medicare and Medicaid programs has led to poor care and high costs. As part of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), CMS initiated state demonstrations to align financing and care delivery. In 2016, Rhode Island launched an integrated care model. Geriatrics experts teamed up with an aging services advocate to work on the Rhode Island project. The team's objective was to bring a geriatrics lens to policy development and clinical care. The team made critical recommendations to the state and CMS during the planning stage, and geriatrics experts presented trainings to health plan care providers. The project demonstrated the potential for geriatrics experts partnering with consumer advocates to influence policy development and implementation.
