Abstract
Seniors with multiple chronic conditions often have complex health needs and a subset of these individuals also have functional impairment that requires long-term services and supports. Dual eligibles are those individuals who are enrolled in both Medicare and Medicaid. This DataBrief compares the proportion of dual eligible seniors with both chronic conditions and functional impairment to seniors eligible for Medicare only (abstract from http://www.thescanfoundation.org/foundation-publications/databrief-no-21-dual-eligibles-chronic-conditions-and-functional-impairment).
