About the Medicare Coordinated Care Demonstration

MCCD is one of the first studies of chronic care coordination under fee- for-service Medicare. It was designed to test whether care coordination services can lower costs, increase patient satisfaction and improve quality of care for Medicare Beneficiaries with chronic illnesses.

The coordinated care demonstration was authorized by Section 4016 of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (BBA). The BBA requires that the projects target chronically ill Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries that are eligible for both Medicare Parts A and B.
