MHPA works with both the Administration and Congress to advance the issues of Medicaid managed care organizations (MCOs) and the patients they serve. Medicaid provides insurance coverage to more than 71 million people across the country, with more than 70% in MCOs. MHPA, the only trade association that represents Medicaid managed care plans exclusively, is committed to being a resource to any and all involved in policy discussions impacting the Medicaid program.
