Dual-Eligible Beneficiaries of Medicare and Medicaid
註釋Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance coverage to people who have disabilities, are diagnosed with certain medical conditions, or are age 65 or older. Medicaid, which is funded jointly by the federal government and the states, provides health care coverage to low-income people who meet specific requirements for income and assets and other eligibility criteria. People who are eligible to receive benefits from both programs at the same time are known as dual-eligible beneficiaries'. This book examines the characteristics and costs of dual-eligible beneficiaries, focusing on 2009, the most recent year for which comprehensive data were available when the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) began this analysis.
