Our 5 Slide Series allows us to regularly present objective analyses and trends on issues we believe are of interest and share our findings through data tabulations and visualizations.
This edition of our 5-slide series examines Medicaid per capita costs for individuals with disabilities and provides recommendations for how to manage this population. 22.1% of nationwide spending for disabled non-duals was paid via capitation during 2010 (versus 50.2% for TANF). The disabled subgroup has many attributes that are more conducive to use of care coordination than TANF, including a high prevalence of chronic conditions and relatively stable and lasting Medicaid eligibility. The ideal approach adopts an individually tailored “whole person” focus that can address multiple health conditions and flexibly accommodate differing life circumstances.

We also show the percentage mix of duals in each state by gender and by age (65+ vs. under-65), and the rate of increase in the number of duals in each state between 2005 and 2010.
