Quote of the Day

Medicare-Medicaid dual eligibles “utterly defy any kind of homogeneity. A dual is an 83-year-old with four chronic conditions and taking 11 different medications. A dual is a 49-year-old with advanced Down Syndrome living in a group home and working three days a week but has a host of health care issues. And a dual is a 36-year-old end-stage AIDS patient who got Medicare through SSI. And you have to be able to manage all three of those types and a whole bunch of others that you never even imagined to master this population.” — John Gorman, executive chairman of Gorman Health Group, LLC, told AIS’s Health Plan Week.
