When you look at some of the characteristics of the dual eligibles, in the under 65 population, 66 percent have only a chronic condition and have no functional impairments. But as you move up to the older ages, there’s fewer frailty and a bit more of the chronic conditions," according to Dr. Timothy Schwab, chief medical officer of SCAN Health Plan. SCAN has a strategic approach to serving the dual eligible market, and Dr. Schwab recently discussed how they get this population to complete health assessments as well as the role of case managers in deciding who needs nursing home services. He also discusses how case managers work with the most extreme health condition cases.
