Abstract
Uniform assessment of individuals served through managed long-term services and supports (MLTSS) programs is critically important to ensure equity for beneficiaries and appropriateness of services. This brief describes the current practices and future plans for MLTSS assessments of five state Medicaid agencies and managed care organizations. The lessons learned from these states can help others develop, adjust, and implement more uniform assessment processes across MLTSS programs (abstract from http://www.thescanfoundation.org/center-health-care-strategies-snapshot-uniform-assessment-practices-managed-long-term-services-and-s).
