Health plans are being asked to take on more elderly and disabled Medicaid beneficiaries, as well as long-term care, which is a new role.

“I think health plans are going to have to learn more about long-term care services,” Dr Molina said. “Because right now about 75% of the Medicaid patients are already enrolled, the 25% who are not are spending 75% of the money.”
