Examining Rate Setting for Medicaid Managed Long-Term Care

This is the second in a four-part, grant-funded series conducted and presented by Anthony M. Tucker, Ph.D., and Karen E. Johnson, MS, of The Hilltop Institute for the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DHMH). The state is exploring the cross-payer effects of providing Medicaid long-term supports and services on Medicare acute care use. DHMH seeks to understand issues related to Medicaid rate-setting. A key concern is developing the ability to set capitation rates.
