Open Minded - Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act expanded Medicaid coverage, plus Over two-thirds of Medicaid beneficiaries are enrolled in private managed care plans that contract with states to provide comprehensive services, and others receive their care in the fee-for-service system (Figure 6). Managed care plans are responsible for ensuring access to Medicaid services through their networks of providers and are at financial risk for their costs. In the past, states limited managed care to children and families, but they are increasingly expanding managed care to individuals with complex needs. Close to half the states now cover long-term services and supports through risk-based managed care arrangements. Most states are engaged in a variety of delivery system and payment reforms to control costs and improve quality including implementation of patient-centered medical homes, better integration of physical and behavioral health care, and development of “value-based purchasing” approaches that tie Medicaid provider payments to health outcomes and other performance metrics. Community health centers are a key source of primary care, and safety-net hospitals, including public hospitals and academic medical centers, provide a lot of emergency and inpatient hospital care for Medicaid enrollees.
