This session will provide an in-depth look into the policy guidelines informing home-delivered meals benefit design for Medicare Advantage (MA) and managed Medicaid organizations. Attendees will gain a better understanding of how and why to introduce a benefit, reasons MA plans might file under uniformity or as a special supplemental benefit for the chronically ill (SSBCI), and ways to integrate a meals benefit into a broader approach to addressing social determinants of health (SDOH). The speakers will examine how home-delivered meals can impact clinical measures, readmission rates, and member satisfaction, and what details health plan teams should consider when developing a home-delivered meals program of their own. This session will feature perspectives from both a leading nationwide meal delivery vendor, and a health plan that has designed a meals benefit using two different approaches.
