Should it be the desire of the General Assembly, DMAS would propose to merge the Commonwealth Coordinated Care Plus and Medallion 4.0 managed care programs on July 1, 2022. The following report details how DMAS would effectuate a single, streamlined managed care program that links seamlessly with its fee-for-service program, ensuring an efficient and well-coordinated Virginia Medicaid delivery system that provides high-quality, equitable care to our members and adds value for our providers and the Commonwealth. Specifically, the report includes the following sections:

• Section 1 provides relevant background information and an overview of the proposed plan, including its value proposition

• Section 5 outlines the federal and state authority changes needed to achieve a unified program
