Medicaid now also caters to the needs of millions of people categorized as belonging to the aged, the disabled, the blind and medically-needy groups. While it is a partnership program by the Federal government and the States, each individual state is allowed great latitude when it comes to establishing their eligibility rules, the scope of benefits and services they provide to members and the regulate rates.

As the nation’s largest provider of health services to low income families, the Medicaid program has heavily relied on managed care to deliver health benefits and other services. A vast majority of Medicaid recipients now receive medical care and health services through a variety of arrangements with managed care organizations.
