"Elderplan is a participant in New York State's Duals Demonstration Project: Fully Integrated Dual Advantage or, "FIDA", offering new managed care plans for certain "dual eligibles" – people who have both Medicare and Medicaid.

The program will include a focus on providing technology and care support to Elderplan's FIDA membership in preparation for the upcoming New York demonstration program.

It is essential to leverage healthcare data to analytically drive higher levels of quality improvement performance," said Jason Rose, Inovalon's Chief Strategic Development Officer.
