7 AARP’s Position on Integrated Care for Duals
AARP sees value in and supports efforts to use all available models to coordinate care for older adults and people with physical and/or cognitive disabilities as long as robust consumer protections are in place.

8 Consumer Protections: Consumer Facing 1
Consumer freedom-of-choice Independent, conflict free counseling to support choice Continuity of care for new enrollees Smooth transitions Initial and periodic assessments Inclusion of engaged family caregiver(s) in assessments, care planning, and care delivery

9 Consumer Protections: Consumer Facing 2
Conflict-free care planning Opportunities for self-directed care Care coordination across settings Cultural competence/language access across the experience

10 Consumer Protections: Consumer Facing: 3
Harmonized consumer protections that provide the most consumer-friendly options (grievance and appeals, timelines, etc.) Access to independent ombudsman Protections from inappropriate cost sharing and balance billing

11 Consumer Protections: Provider Focused
Transparency Plan Readiness Selective contracting based on performance Payment structures that support the delivery of high value, high quality care Sufficient oversight capacity at state and federal levels Robust performance assessments and program evaluation

12 What is AARP Doing?

13 What is AARP Doing?

14 Going Forward AARP is willing to exchange ideas with interested parties on how to improve coordinated care for duals, especially consumer protections. AARP is especially interested in the development of quality measures that assess the special needs of this population (LTSS, care transition, care coordination, etc.). AARP is interested in learning more about how plans that provide coordinated care are providing language access across acute and LTSS settings.

15 Going Forward AARP is interested in learning more about how high performing plans achieve optimal health outcomes despite serving low socioeconomic populations. AARP is interested in learning more about how plans are addressing the issue of social determinants of health among duals enrolled in coordinated plans.
