🚀 64% and Rising: States Enroll More Seniors & People with Disabilities in Medicaid Managed Care

The shift to Comprehensive Managed Care (CMC) for Medicaid-enrolled seniors and people with disabilities is gaining momentum. Nationally, participation has climbed from 57% in 2019 to 64% in 2023, adding 1.6 million more enrollees—a testament to states' confidence in CMC to improve care coordination, quality, and budget predictability.

What's driving this growth?

✅ Integrated Models: States are leveraging Dual Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs) to better serve dual eligibles, combining benefits across Medicare and Medicaid.

✅ Home and Community-Based Care: Expanding long-term services and supports (LTSS) in home-based settings.

✅ Targeted Programs: Specialized care for complex needs, like children with special health care needs.

From state to state, enrollment varies widely—from 2% to nearly 100% in certain states. But the trend is clear: every state with a CMC program now enrolls some seniors and people with disabilities. Eight states have seen participation jump by at least 10 percentage points.

Looking ahead, Indiana's new LTSS program and Ohio's statewide MyCare expansion in 2026 signal continued growth.

🌟 Highlights from Friday at MHPA25! 🌟

The energy was electric on Friday at the MHPA25 Annual Conference in Kansas City! Day 2 brought together Medicaid professionals from across the country to dive into cutting-edge strategies, regulatory updates, and innovative solutions shaping the future of state-sponsored healthcare.

From thought-provoking sessions across our four critical tracks—Access to Care, Complex Care, Hot Topics, and Policy—to dynamic networking opportunities, Friday was all about collaboration and inspiration. Attendees engaged in meaningful conversations with industry leaders and peers, fostering connections that will drive progress in the Medicaid landscape.

One of the day's standout moments was the GENERAL SESSION: From Cable to Kansas City - Conversation with Two Leading Political Strategists. Moderated by Francoise Culley-Trotman of AlohaCare, this dynamic discussion featured Brendan Buck of Seven Letter and NBC/MSNBC, and Anthony Coley, Political Analyst, NBC/MSNBC & former head of public affairs at the U.S. Justice Department. The session offered a unique glimpse into the intersection of politics, media, and healthcare, with the panelists sharing insights on navigating the evolving media landscape and its impact on policy and public perception. Sponsored by AlohaCare, this session was a testament to the conference's commitment to fostering dialogue on critical issues.

A special shoutout to our incredible speakers and panelists for sharing their expertise and insights, and to our sponsors and exhibitors for their continued support of this vital work.

The MHPA annual conference is more than an event—it’s a movement. Let’s keep building a better future for Medicaid together!
