Over the years the government agencies used different methodologies in assessing the quality of Medicaid managed health care plans.  These methodologies will enable government officials to tell whether or not Medicaid is providing quality managed health care. The result of this assessment will be used as a basis for improvement in the Medicaid managed health care programs. Below are some descriptions that different states use in assessing the quality of Medicaid managed health care plans.

Medicaid managed care still faces a lot of criticism. Since the main reason why managed care was established was to control costs, many argue that what Medicaid is providing is low quality of health care. Up to this time, government officials are continuously seeking new ways to assess and make sure that the quality of managed health care being provided to Medicaid beneficiaries are not low quality.
