Abstract: | As health maintenance organizations (HMOs) have curtailed participation in Medicaid, enrollment in primary care case management (PCCM) programs has grown. To examine state Medicaid agencies' monitoring of PCCM and HMO programs, we surveyed Medicaid agency directors of forty-six states and the District of Columbia. Agencies were less likely to collect performance data in PCCM programs than in HMO programs. Few PCCM programs reported performance results for the public or providers. Reporting states tended to emphasize utilization results over quality-measure results. Despite growing enrollment, PCCM programs appear less likely to use the quality-oversight strategies employed by Medicaid health plans. |
