Enrollee Engagement in Plan GovernanceOne of the ways plans can engage dually eligible members is by including them in plan governance, such as establishing enrollee advisory committees and placing members on governing boards. Engaging members in these ways can help plans understand and address barriers to high-quality and coordinated care, which can lead to improvements in members’ care. RIC features resources for plans interested in engaging members in plan governance and seeking to incorporate meaningful member perspectives into organizational governance structures.VIEW DETAILS -
