Senators Request Public Input to Inform Decision Making on Programs Serving Dual Eligible Enrollees

In November 2022, United States Senators Cassidy, Carper, Scott, Warner, Cornyn, and Menendez issued a request for information (RFI) regarding approaches for improving coverage for individuals who are dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid.

Too often, they experience a lack of integration and coordination that often results in confusing encounters with the health care system and negative health outcomes.
