RICHMOND, Va. (WAVY) — The new Cardinal Care Managed Care program, intended to assist 1.4 million Virginians, was announced by Gov. Glenn Youngkin and the Virginia Department of Medical Assistance Services Tuesday.
The program will serve those in the Commonwealth for Medicaid starting July 1 by prioritizing member-centered care that meets the diverse needs of Medicaid members while enhancing care and support.
The five plans attended to serve Virginians with Medicaid are: Aetna Better Health of Virginia, Anthem HealthKeepers Plus, Humana Healthy Horizons of Virginia (new), Sentara Health Plans, and UnitedHealthcare of the Mid-Atlantic, Inc.
“Virginia is committed to the continuous improvement of services, supports, and resources,” said Governor Glenn Youngkin. “We worked closely with the five participating Medicaid health plans to create contracts that focus on what matters most: the health and well-being of our most vulnerable Virginians.”
“Virginia Medicaid’s new health plan contracts are a great example of how innovation benefits the Commonwealth,” said Secretary of Health and Human Resources Janet V. Kelly. “The emphasis on member experience data analytics, and accountability will support better outcomes for all Virginians.”
