The program delivers integrated healthcare to individuals eligible for both Medicaid and Medicare, and in addition to standard services, covers long-term care and some behavioral health services.
The payer will cover 12,300 individuals from Feb. 1 to Dec. 31, with the option to renew the one-year contract up to four additional times. About 39,000 people can voluntarily enroll in the program.
“We are committed to partnering with the Department of Health Care Finance to continue building a strong District Dual Choice program that provides individualized care to meet the health and wellness needs of enrollees,” said Erin Henderson Moore, executive director of UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Washington, D.C. “We are honored to serve the health care needs of our enrollees in the district through innovative programs and community investments that reduce health disparities.”
