Tennessee needed support to strengthen its integrated care model for residents dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid. Too often, this population faces fragmented care and complex benefit coordination. The state turned to Altarum Medicare-Medicaid Services for States (AMMS) to help it meet evolving Medicare Advantage Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan (D-SNP) regulations and better serve its residents.

In partnership with Maine’s Department of Health and Human Services, Office on Aging and Disability Services, and Office of MaineCare Services, Altarum Medicare-Medicaid Services for States (AMMS) helped to strengthen programs serving individuals eligible for Medicare and Medicaid.

The National Institute on Aging (NIA) Small Business Programs manage the largest source of early-stage funding for aging-related research and development (R&D). Each year, NIA provides nearly $150 million in R&D grants to small businesses to develop interventions for age-related health concerns, including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD-related dementias, aging in place of choice, and other age-related diseases and conditions.

The All of Us Research Program is a historic effort to collect and study data from one million or more people living in the United States. The goal of the program is better health for all people. The program aims to enroll 1 million participants who will share information including health records, survey responses, biosamples, and wearable device data, making it broadly and securely available for researchers to study health and disease, and leading to a healthier future for generations to come.

Most states face persistent shortages and high turnover in the direct care workforce for individuals needing long-term services and supports, and demand is projected to grow 44% by 2035. Individuals needing care are struggling to find qualified caregivers.

The Center for Maternal and Child Medicaid Partnerships (CMMP), launched in 2025, is helping states break down silos to improve care for millions. 

This five-year initiative, led by Altarum in collaboration with the Center for Health Care Strategies (CHCS), Family Voices, and the Association of Maternal & Child Health Programs (AMCHP), helps states strengthen partnerships between Medicaid, CHIP, and Title V programs.

The Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency (MVAA), in partnership with Altarum, created first-ever “Veteran-Friendly Community” (VFC). This will give 562,000 Veterans better access to services and creates a blueprint for other states.

Through in-depth research, stakeholder engagement, and advanced analytics, the Michigan VFC Project delivered a roadmap to help each county build a sustainable, supportive community.
