The primary data source for the Medicare-Medicaid Enrollee State Profile is an analytic file developed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) that contains linked calendar year 2007 Medicare and Medicaid administrative and claims data for persons age 18 and older. Other data sources are noted herein. Because of data limitations, some charts were excluded from some State Profiles. Exclusions are noted where applicable. For more information about the 2007 linked analytic file, refer to Data Source and Limitations at the end of the State Profile.

Note: The Medicare, Medicaid, and Medicare-Medicaid population counts reflect beneficiaries "ever enrolled" during CY 2007.
There were about 305,000 Medicare-Medicaid enrollees in Ohio and about 9 million nationally. Medicare-Medicaid enrollees represented 3% of the States population, compared to 3% for the United States. They represented 16% of the State's Medicare population and 14% of its Medicaid population, compared to 20% and 15% for the United States, respectively (not shown).

Expenditures
Total Expenditures in Ohio: Medicare: $17.4B Medicare-Medicaid Enrollee MEDICARE: $4.8B Medicaid: $11.9B Medicare-Medicaid Enrollee MEDICAID: $4.5B
Source: Total Medicaid expenditures and participants are based on Medicaid Analytic Extract State Anomaly Tables, Table 1. The remaining figures are based on the CMS 2007 linked analytic file. Note: Medicaid and Medicare expenditures include managed care and fee-for-service. Medicaid expenditures include both the State and Federal Share; they do not include payments made outside of the claims processing system.
Medicare-Medicaid enrollees have, on average, greater health and long-term services and supports (LTSS) needs than beneficiaries who have only Medicare or Medicaid coverage. As shown in Figure 1, Medicare-Medicaid enrollees accounted for a disproportionate share of total spending in both programs.
Eligibility
FIGURE 2. MEDICARE-MEDICAID ENROLLEES BY MEDICAID BENEFIT LEVEL AND FULL BENEFIT MEDICAREMEDICAID ENROLLEES BY ELIGIBILITY CATEGORY: OHIO, 2007
Partial Benefit SLMB/Other Full Benefit Age 65+ Full Benefit Age 18-64
In Ohio, 77% of Medicare-Medicaid enrollees had full Medicaid benefits: 41% were ages 65 and older and 35% were ages 18 to 64. The remaining enrollees got Medicaid help with Medicare premium payments, and, in the case of QMBs, Medicare cost-sharing.
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services | Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
At least twice as many Full Benefit Medicare-Medicaid enrollees originally became eligible for Medicare because of a disability compared to the Medicare-only (Medicare with no Medicaid coverage) population.

A total of 54% of Full Benefit enrollees in Ohio were age 65 and older; people age 85 and older comprised 30% of this group. The majority of Full Benefit enrollees in Ohio were female; this share was higher among those age 65 and older.
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services | Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
A higher share of Full Benefit enrollees was non-white compared to the Medicare-only population. The share of Full Benefit enrollees that was non-white did not vary appreciably by age group (age 65+ vs. age 18-64).

Medicare-only
Note: Findings related to chronic conditions were not age-adjusted. At the time the Profiles were developed, the data source did not capture the range of mental health or developmental conditions, which disproportionately affect the age 18 - 64 Medicare-Medicaid enrollee population.
Full Benefit enrollees were 3 times more likely than Medicare-only beneficiaries to have had 5 or more chronic conditions.

Medicare-only
Note: This is a subset of the 20 chronic conditions reported in the CMS Chronic Condition Warehouse. The following conditions were not included in this analysis: pelvic/hip fracture, glaucoma, atrial fibrillation, cataract, and acute myocardial infarction. Five cancer conditions were combined as one category. Findings related to chronic conditions were not age-adjusted. At the time the Profiles were developed, the data source did not capture the range of mental health or developmental conditions, which disproportionately affect the age 18 - 64 Medicare-Medicaid enrollee population.
Full Benefit enrollees typically had a greater prevalence of chronic conditions compared to Medicare-only beneficiaries.

Full Benefit enrollees tended to use select Medicare services at higher rates than Medicare-only beneficiaries. Utilization was measured by the percentage of people using the service.

Note: these categories are mutually exclusive in that persons using more than one type of LTSS were assigned to only one category. Beneficiaries with Medicaid fee-for-service payments greater than $0 for any type of LTSS were assigned to an LTSS category. Assignments to LTSS categories were made in a hierarchical manner with institutional LTSS being the first category assigned. Thus, beneficiaries with Medicaid payments for both institutional and community-based LTSS were assigned to the institutional LTSS category.
The majority of Full Benefit enrollees in Ohio used Medicaid-funded LTSS. Of those, 61% used institutional LTSS and the remainder used community-based LTSS.

Medicaid
Full Benefit enrollees had significantly higher average monthly spending per person compared to Medicare-only beneficiaries, including higher average Medicare costs. Total costs included managed care and fee-for-service (FFS) payments.
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services | Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
Home Health 3%
SNF 11%
Note: Institutional LTSS includes nursing facility, intermediate care facility for the mentally retarded, inpatient psychiatric facility for the under-21, and mental hospital for the aged. Community-based LTSS includes State Plan Services such as Home Health and Personal Care and HCBS waivers which allow states to provide a broader array of LTSS to persons living in the community than those covered in the State Plan.
The largest share of Full Benefit enrollees FFS Medicare spending went toward Inpatient Hospital care, whereas the largest share of FFS Medicaid spending went toward Institutional LTSS.
Service Delivery
Medicaid Delivery System, 2010
In 2010, 86% of Ohio Medicaid enrollees received services through managed care. Ohio had a statewide program that was mandatory for most Medicaid eligibility groups, but excluded all Medicare-Medicaid enrollees. As of 2010, Ohio had 2 PACE programs.
Source: Kaiser Family Foundation statehealthfacts.org Medicaid managed care enrollment reports as of July and October 2010; CMS Medicaid managed care enrollment reports as of July 2010; and CMS National Summary of State Medicaid Managed Care Programs as of June 30, 2010.
As of January 2011, there were 5 Medicare Advantage Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans (DSNPs) in Ohio with total enrollment of 8,347. The D-SNP enrollment represented 4% of Ohio's Full Benefit Medicare-Medicaid enrollee population during the same time period.
Integrated Medicare and Medicaid Programs, 2011
For the purposes of this analysis, integrated Medicare-Medicaid programs are defined as those designed by states or counties, outside of PACE, to enable Medicare-Medicaid enrollees to receive most or all of their Medicare and Medicaid services through a single entity that is accountable for the quality and cost of those services. Further, these programs promote integration by requiring participating plans to offer a companion Medicare Advantage product.
