Background on Long-Term Services and Supports

This brief examines issues in the development and implementation of managed care programs for Medicaid beneficiaries with disabilities, particularly policy considerations related to setting rates, developing provider networks and delivery systems, and ensuring sufficient beneficiary protections and plan oversight.

During site visits to five states (Arizona, Florida, Illinois, New York, and Wisconsin), researchers identified major themes related to the rapid growth of Medicaid managed long-term services and supports (MLTSS) programs and the diversity of ways in which states have structured their programs to achieve their goals.

This brief examines key policy and operational considerations related to the transition from fee-for-service to risk-based capitated managed care for LTSS.

This fact sheet provides an overview of quality measures related to the rebalancing of long-term services and supports.

This issue brief examines key themes in 19 capitated Medicaid MLTSS waivers approved to date by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), including section 1115 (a) demonstrations in 12 states and 1915 (b)/(c) waivers in six states.

This document articulates guiding principles that should be observed in designing and carrying out managed care initiatives involving people with chronic disabilities.

This document assesses the impact of managed care on people with disabilities to identify the opportunities/risks and strengths/weaknesses of pursuing managed care as a component of health care reform.
