States and CMS are in the early stages of evaluating the demonstrations and also looking at mid-course corrections and improvements based on experiences to-date. At the same time, advocates and policymakers are contemplating future health care delivery system reforms, as part of a broader reform effort to pay for value and outcomes, instead of volume.

To contribute to these efforts, Justice in Aging has created a toolkit of design and implementation resources. The toolkit consists of:

• A new tool for advocates comparing different state outreach and enrollment materials to highlight effective models to use when reaching vulnerable populations. The new tool includes two appendices: Appendix 1, a working chart with links to outreach materials in different states. Appendix 2, accessible from the Outreach and Notices tab on this page, includes examples of notices currently in use in states, and our comments on strengths and areas of improvement.
• Resources on appeals procedures, designing enrollment notices, care continuity, and ensuring consumer protections in integrated models. These resources were developed earlier by Justice in Aging to influence the demonstration’s design to ensure consumer protections were a focus of new managed care delivery systems. They are assembled together for the toolkit and linked from this page.
