State Resources for Managed Care for People with Disabilities

State Medicaid programs are increasingly exploring managed care options to improve the quality and control the costs of health care for consumers with disabilities. In response, the Center for Health Care Strategies developed the Managed Care for People with Disabilities Purchasing Institute (MCPD PI) initiative to help states strengthen existing programs and/or expand managed care programs for this complex population. Through the MCPD PI, participating states have agreed to share best practices and resources, drawn from their experience in developing and implementing programs for SSI-eligible populations. This web page is designed to facilitate the sharing of key tools used by MCPD PI states. These downloadable sample documents include requests for proposals, contracts, health assessment tools, and other administrative resources developed by several of the participating MCPD PI states.
