Managed Care Models

Over the past week, Indiana's decision to transition long-term nursing home residents out of Medicaid managed care raises significant implications for value-based care (VBC), emphasizing the need for more effective care delivery models in this population. This shift reflects broader tensions around managed care efficacy and state-level sanctions, which may not universally deter Medicaid managed care practices, potentially paving the way for innovative payment models and population health management strategies that address the unique needs of long-term residents. Stakeholders in VBC should closely monitor these developments, as they might influence future CMS policies under the current administration's leadership, particularly regarding Medicare and Medicaid integration efforts.
