Changes in Health Plans Serving Medicaid, 1993-1996
September/October 1997

o better understand the Medicaid managed care market during a period
of rapid change, we developed a new data set that links Medicaid enrollment data with
health maintenance organization (HMO) industry data for 1993-1996 to analyze Medicaid
enrollment in full-risk health plans. Nearly half of the Medicaid enrollees in a fully
capitated managed care arrangement were in plans in which Medicaid makes up at least 75
percent of the total enrollment. In addition, the number of Medicaid-only plans has more
than doubled since 1993. Commercial-based plans participated increased in Medicaid managed
care during the period, yet more than half of the plans entering the Medicaid market were
newly formed.
