- Promoting affordable health care that delivers better health outcomes, extra benefits, and cost savings for beneficiaries.
- Fighting chronic disease and delivering whole-person health care through innovative supplemental benefits, increased behavioral health supports, in-home assessments, and strengthened partnerships between providers, plans, and aging organizations.
- Reducing administrative burden through prior authorization improvements and streamlined processes that enable providers, health plans, and stakeholders to deliver timely care.
- Supporting program transparency and accountability with comprehensive transparency standards, oversight, and adherence to in-home health assessment best practices.
