State, federal, and local agencies are under continual pressure to assure high-quality, accessible health care services to Medicare, Medicaid, and State Children's Health Insurance beneficiaries in an environment of rising health care costs and budgetary restraints. Both the federal government and many state Medicaid programs have turned to managed care to meet the goals of cost-effective yet high-quality health care. These payers and managed care organizations are now struggling to maintain these goals while developing programs to cover more difficult-to-serve populations and achieve higher performance expectations. At the same time, states and the federal government are seeking to expand Medicaid and Medicare programs to cover more beneficiaries, such as uninsured adults, and more services, such as prescription drugs in Medicare.
