Medicaid managed care organizations with enrollees dually eligible for Medicare can participate in the Direct Contracting Model’s Professional and Global Options beginning in January 2022, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services .

Medicaid MCOs must have at least 3,000 aligned beneficiaries and obtain a letter of support from their state Medicaid agency to participate in the model, which offers two risk-sharing options and is set to begin for other entities next April.

The agency expects to provide more information on the risk-sharing options available to MCOs when it requests applications for the DC model early next year.
