Medicaid MCOs
This section provides resources about covering the National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP) lifestyle change program by Medicaid managed care organizations (MCOs).
In a managed care environment, the Medicaid agency contracts with and pays managed care organizations (MCOs) a capitated rate to deliver Medicaid covered services to beneficiaries. In a fee-for-service environment, the Medicaid agency contracts with and pays providers directly for each covered service provided to Medicaid beneficiaries. Information on how to implement and operate the program in a fee-for-service environment can be found in the Medicaid Agencies section.
