In 28 States With Medicaid Managed Care, At Least 75% Of Beneficiaries Are Enrolled

In 28 of the 39 states that contract with Medicaid managed care organizations (MCOs), at least 75% of all Medicaid beneficiaries in 2016 were enrolled in MCOs. Nearly half of states, 23, provided some or all Medicaid long-term services and supports (LTSS) through a managed care arrangement as of July 1, 2016, with 15 states offering managed LTSS on a statewide basis for at least some LTSS populations.

These findings were reported in “Implementing Coverage and Payment Initiatives: Results from a 50-State Medicaid Budget Survey for State Fiscal Years 2016 and 2017” by Vernon K. Smith, Ph.D . . .
