Massachusetts has administered for almost 5 years a targeted program for
severely incapacitated adults that has served as a model for other state
experiments. Our work in these three states included interviewing
<strong>Medicaid</strong> and other state official selected providers, and advocacy
grouos. We obtained and analyzed data provided by the three states, and
where they were available, we reviewed existing federal, state, and
independent studies of the programs.
During our review, we also interviewed other researchers and
knowledgeable officials and reviewed available studies of managed care
programs for disabled persons. We performed our work for this study
between November 1995 and May 1996 in accordance with generally
accepted government auditing standards.
