Rhode Island is the latest state to partner with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services in the Financial Alignment Initiative to test a new payment and integrated care model for patients enrolled in both Medicare and Medicaid. Under the Rhode Island demonstration, part of the state’s Integrated Care Initiative, a Medicare-Medicaid plan will offer enrollees an integrated set of benefits to more comprehensively address their individual service needs. About 30,000 people will be eligible to enroll.
