Medicaid
Providing Top-Notch Care to Our Most Vulnerable Neighbors
Medicaid Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) play a key role in the delivery of care to nearly three quarters of all Medicaid enrollees. Provided through private health plans, MCOs offer expanded coverage options, valuable coordinated care and social services to beneficiaries. ACHP advocates for policies that advance capitated, managed care; protect the vital Medicaid program; ensure adequate long-term funding and continue to improve the Medicaid quality rating system. Rising unemployment due to the COVID-19 pandemic will increase Medicaid enrollment, making the managed care model even more valuable to beneficiaries and taxpayers alike.
