Impacts of a disease management program for dually eligible beneficiaries . The LifeMasters Supported SelfCare demonstration program provides disease management ( DM ) services to Florida Medicare beneficiaries who are also enrolled in Medicaid and have congestive heart failure ( CHF ) , diabetes , or coronary artery disease ( CAD ) . The population-based program provides primarily telephonic patient education and monitoring services . Findings from the randomized , intent-to-treat design over the first 18 months of operations show virtually no overall impacts on hospital or emergency room ( ER ) use , Medicare expenditures , quality of care , or prescription drug use for the 33,000 enrollees . However , for beneficiaries with CHF who resided in high-cost South Florida counties , the program reduced Medicare expenditures by 9.6 percent .
