Posted on: Friday, 10 February 2006, 12:00 CST

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c32723) has announced the addition of Serving the Needs of the Medicaid Population in Disease Management Programs, Live Audio Conference on CD-ROM to their offering.

Serving the Needs of the Medicaid Population in Disease Management Programs, a January 25, 2006 audio conference, on CD-ROM examines what strategies are effective in Medicaid disease management (DM) programs and the impact DM programs can have on improving the health status of Medicaid beneficiaries.

While serving the Medicaid population in DM programs presents its own unique set of challenges to DM programs, the number of DM programs serving Medicaid populations continues to rise as states look to programs to control Medicaid cost increases.

During this 90-minute audio conference on CD-ROM, your expert panel of speakers, Jerry Kiplinger, executive director, APS Healthcare, and Herb Schultz, vice president, government account management, McKesson Health Solutions, provide inside details on how their organizations address the needs of the Medicaid population.

You will get details on:

-- Identifying eligible beneficiaries;

-- Addressing interruptions in Medicaid eligibility;

-- Engaging the Medicaid population in disease management programs;

-- Treating comorbidities in the Medicaid population; and

-- Measuring the impact of DM programs on the Medicaid population.

Here's what participants said about the live program:
