Abstract
Minnesota Disability Health Options (MnDHO), is a specialized managed health care program for working-age Medicaideligible individuals (with or without Medicare) with physical disabilities who reside in Minneapolis-St. Paul. MnDHO, a voluntary program, integrates delivery of all Medicaid and Medicare services except for prescription medications. Interviews and focus groups at the end of the first year show that enrollees’ quality of life is much better, with enrollees able to focus their attention on non-health related concerns.
