Traditionally, state Medicaid-funded medical systems, long term services and supports (LTSS) systems, and mental health systems have operated on parallel planes, and all 3 of these Medicaid systems have been very separate from Medicare
Increasingly, states are turning to integrated care models to:
Improve outcomes
Enhance experience
Reduce costs
Streamline administration
In particular, states have moved rapidly to integrate LTSS with medical services in Medicaid-only models and Medicaid-Medicare models

Qualifications
Nurses, social workers, degrees, experience
Contact with consumers
Face-to-face almost always required, but intervals vary
Person-centered planning
Language is prevalent, details are rare
Caseload ratios
If specified, generally differ by risk category
Partnerships with community based organizations that have traditionally provided coordination of LTSS
A few states mandate relationships, but allow discretion in the nature of relationship
STATES VARY CONSIDERABLY ON HOW DETAILED THEY MAKE CARE COORDINATION SPECIFICATIONS
