Abstract:
This issue paper presents information from nine states that have developed and implemented disease management programs for adult Medicaid enrollees with chronic conditions such as asthma, diabetes, and congestive heart failure, or who are trying to manage these populations through capitated managed care. It examines the motivations, goals, strategies and impact of these state efforts, in addition to describing the details of their initiatives.
