Coverage for Consumers, Savings for States: Options for Modernizing Medicaid

The report Coverage for Consumers, Savings for States: Options for Modernizing Medicaid written by UnitedHealth provides new state-specific estimates of Medicaid will be after the new federal health care reform legislation is implemented. The report also provides new national and state-specific e estimates of three broad categories of savings opportunities from modernizing Medicaid. These categories include: the greater use of coordinated care techniques, managed care, and the upgrading of Medicaid's administrative and transactional processes. This report's intent is to be a constructive and practical contribution to the effort to ensure that the reforms in Medicaid succeed.
