Altarum Medicare-Medicaid Services for States (AMMS) and Altarum strongly support the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging’s bill that creates the Advancing Integration in Medicare and Medicaid (AIM) Act which requires States to develop a strategy for integrating and coordinating health benefits for full benefit dual eligible individuals. These individuals receive full Medicaid benefits in addition to Medicare benefits, and most must navigate the two complex programs to seek the care and supports they need. Requiring states to develop a strategy to better align the two programs is a critical step to improve individual experiences, quality of life, and outcomes, as well as address the cost shifting that occurs between the two programs.
