Helping states develop integrated programs for individuals who are dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid
This resource was updated in June 2023 to correct an error in the definition of applicable integrated plan in the previous version.
ICRC has developed a basic fact sheet on individuals who are dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid.
This resource was updated in April 2025 to include new definitions for several key terms related to Medicare Advantage, such as “plan benefit package,” “supplemental benefits,” and “crosswalks/crosswalk exceptions." This tool also includes updated notes and citations, and a new format that lists all terms alphabetically to make it easier for readers to find key terms within the document.
In 2017, there were 12 million individuals dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid. This fact sheet provides information on their reasons for Medicare eligibility, costs of care, and enrollment in managed care as well as the proportion of these beneficiaries who receive their care through arrangements that integrate their Medicare and Medicaid benefits.
