The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services contracted with The Lewin Group, and its subcontractors, the Urban Institute, the University of Minnesota, Mathematica Policy Research, Inc., and the MEDSTAT Group, to design and implement a study of the impact of Medicaid home and community based services programs on quality of life, quality of care, utilization and cost. The research project is studying the financing and delivery of services to older and younger people with disabilities in seven states and the Medicaid financing and delivery of services for individuals with mental retardation and developmental disabilities (MR/DD) in six states.
