Follow up–CRS Reports on Medicaid, Medicare, and Related Issues

Following up on Becky’s post of Feb. 25 regarding some recent CRS Reports–I’m using a number of CRS reports in a class I am designing for Valparaiso’s new health management and policy master’s program.  These include:

Medicare, A Primer  Download Medicare Primer CRS

Medigap: A Primer Download Medigap CRS

Medicaid, An Overview (referenced by Becky) Download CRS Medicaid an Overview

Medicaid Coverage of Long Term Services and Supports Download Medicaid LTC CRS

Health Care Fraud and Abuse Laws AffectingMedicare and Medicaid: An Overview Download Fraud and Abuse CRS

Medicare Secondary Payer:Coordination of Benefits Download Fraud and Abuse CRS

Overview of Private Health Insurance Provisions in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) Download Private Health Insurance ACA CRS

CRS reports aren’t generally made available to the public, but I have had great luck over the years in obtaining them simply by contactiing one of the authors and requesting a copy.
