What Is Medicaid Managed Care?
Some medical facilities work as managed care organizations (MCOs). This is when individuals receive care through Medicaid benefits. MCOs work with state Medicaid agencies to care for those on Medicaid healthcare plans. This ensures patients receive essential healthcare services while decreasing Medicaid costs.
The goal of Medicaid-managed care is to make healthcare more accessible for aging individuals. When someone enrolls in Medicaid managed care, billing expenses are covered, and they do not need to worry about healthcare costs. They also do not have to coordinate with insurance companies to submit claims. Medicaid-managed care takes care of submitting claims and paying out-of-pocket expenses for patients, allowing them to receive the care they need.
