Health Affairs Forefront: Enabling Better Integration for Dually Eligible Participants in Medicare Value Based Care Models

In Health Affairs Forefront, Michael Monson and Sarah Barth offer considerations for enabling better integration for dually eligible individuals in Medicare’s value based model.
