Medicaid: Services, Costs and Future

This book collects reports on Medicaid by the Congressional Research Service (CRS), the public policy research service of the US Congress. The reports track appropriations for various agencies and departments, discuss efforts to improve the delivery of health care and long-term care for those who are dually enrolled in Medicaid and Medicare, and provide an overview of Medicaid managed care. The reports also provide an overview of selected federal statutes that may be used to address fraud and abuse in federal health care programs, describe the new cost-sharing options and recent state actions to implement them, and give information on the effect of the new Medicare prescription drug benefit. Information on the editor and the contributors is not given.
