Background:

  • State and Federal governments are adopting managed care models to manage healthcare expenditures for Medicaid beneficiaries.
  • Managed care organizations (MCOs) and healthcare providers often lack experience with the unique characteristics of the Medicaid population.
  • Medicaid recipients exhibit different socioeconomic profiles, medical requirements, healthcare utilization behaviors, and cost structures compared to commercially insured individuals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the challenges faced by managed care plans and providers in serving the Medicaid population.
  • To emphasize the need for tailored approaches in benefit design and capitation rate development for Medicaid managed care programs.

Main Methods:

  • This study is a review and analysis of the characteristics of the Medicaid population in managed care settings.
