MHPA Policy Statement on Medical Homes
Given the scope of Medicaid health plans - their experience in care coordination, financial management, and quality improvement, and their mature data infrastructures that support reporting on quality and cost for primary, specialty and hospital care - MHPA believes that effective implementation of the PCMH for Medicaid beneficiaries requires the expertise and support of Medicaid Health Plans.
