Econometrica provided the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) with technical assistance to support State Medicaid agencies in integrating care for individuals who are enrolled in both Medicare and Medicaid (i.e., dually eligible beneficiaries). Econometrica coordinated the delivery of Medicare data to States, provided technical advice, and helped States optimize the use of available data for care coordination, quality improvement, and program integrity. States’ care coordination efforts targeted the coordination of benefits between Medicare and Medicaid and included patient-level analyses; State program integrity efforts analyzed and aimed to reduce waste, fraud, and abuse within the State Medicaid system.
