Sally Hart of the Center for Medicare Advocacy, Inc. has prepared a paper discussing the inclusion of a coordinated care benefit in the traditional fee-for-service Medicare program.  The paper, written for the Center for Medicare Advocacy's March 21, 2002 Medicare Coordinated Care Conference in Washington, DC, explores legal issues and policy questions raised by the prospect of a coordinated care benefit.  In the paper, Ms. Hart takes as her starting point a draft of legislation that would amend the Medicare statute to include such a benefit.
