Dual Eligible = Double Trouble?

Patients Rising Podcast

This week, we discuss the idea of “dual eligibles” with Steve Peskin, the CEO of SRP Advisors. Steve explains the difficulty for dual eligible patients in knowing what part of their healthcare is covered by Medicaid and what part is covered by Medicare. He mentions the need for coordination between state and federal government and shares a few ideas for how the current system can be improved.

Also, we talk about an announcement by the Biden administration that the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response will incorporate fair-pricing provisions into contracts.
