Improving Care

For People Enrolled in
Medicare and Medicaid

Poor coordination between Medicare and Medicaid results in care that’s often:

    Too Expensive

    Hard to Access

    Difficult to Navigate

    Many people find navigating the healthcare system challenging, but it is more difficult for the more than 12 million people in America who are simultaneously eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid. This includes many older adults, those less economically secure, and people with chronic illnesses.

      Now is the time for policymakers to better integrate these critical safety net programs.

      Regardless of political ideology, lawmakers support better, more efficient healthcare for individuals who are dually eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid.

      THE SOLUTION

      We support quality, cost-effective care that puts people first.

      The Medicare-Medicaid Integration Alliance is composed of organizations that want healthcare and social services to work better for the millions of people eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid and enable the providers who treat them to deliver more effective, efficient care. 

      “I feel like I’m flying blind trying to navigate the two programs: ‘Here’s an airplane. Fly it with no instruction and a blindfold on.’ There must be a better way.”
