Gov. Bob McDonnell (R) backed the Commonwealth Coordinated Care program as a condition for his support for expanding Medicaid. When the program goes live Jan. 1, it is expected to save the state $11 million in its first six months through improved management of agencies that administer Medicare and Medicaid for dual eligibles.
Officials estimate the program will save an additional $22.6 million in fiscal year 2015, which begins July 1, 2014.
