Health Link Model
On April 3, 2014, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced a new partnership with the State of Michigan to test an initiative to improve care for Medicare-Medicaid enrollees.
Under the demonstration, Michigan and CMS will contract with health plans called Integrated Care Organizations (ICOs), which will provide an integrated set of Medicare and Medicaid benefits to enrolled beneficiaries in four regions of the state.
