Medicaid Managed Care: The Provider Impact

Medicaid Managed Care: The Provider Impact

Medicaid managed care is a rapidly growing service delivery model in the United States. The aim of Medicaid managed care is to reduce program costs and provide better utilization of health services through the contracting of managed care organizations (MCOs). While Medicaid managed care has existed for almost two decades, it has yet to be frequently used for long-term services and supports (LTSS) for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Because there is beginning to be an expansion of Medicaid managed care into the IDD LTSS system, evidenced-based quality standards and guidelines about managed care provision for people with IDD are more critical than ever.

This webinar will provide an overview of Medicaid managed care, including different service delivery models and a national outlook on managed care for people with IDD. The webinar then highlights the perspective of human service providers and features one large agency’s experience with managed care. The webinar also shares information about quality and value-based service provision.
